The voting is quite close atm, vote if you want your favourite saved.

voted

Sorry, forgot to put numbers on my vote but are in order

Voted!

Lines are now closed!!!!

I will call 3 contestants down at a time and reveal who is safe and who is in the bottom 3. I will then reveal who has recieved the lowest votes. They will perform again and then you will be able to pm me your decision as to whether the save power will be used but remember it can only be used once.

I'd like to call down Casey, Ashthon and Lauren.

Casey, you sang With A Little Help From My Friends. The response was positive but did the viewers agree?

Ashthon, you sang When You Tell Me That You Love Me. The response was that it was a safe choice but was it safe enough?

Lauren, you sang Any Man Of Mine. The response was mixed with many believing that it wasn't you. Have you made it?

The verdict is.............

Lauren you are safe!!!!!!!!

Casey, you too are safe!!!!!!!!!

Ashthon, I'm sorry darling but you are in the bottom three!!!!!

Ashthon please take a seat on the stools, Lauren and Casey, you can return to the couches.

Next up, can I have Thia, Pia and James.

Thia, you sang Smile. The reaction was mixed with some people saying that it was a little bit of a weak vocal but others praising your stage presence. Have the DS public agreed with the positive or the negative?

Pia, you sang All By Myself. After such a great performance in the Top 12 Girls Semi, people were worried that you may not do as well but the majority agreed that you delivered. Did the votes agree?

James, you sang Maybe I'm Amazed. People believed that the vocal was magic and that you are one of the front-runners. How do the votes match it?

I can now reveal............

that you are all safe!!!!!!!!

Please take your seats back on the couches guys.

Now, will Paul, Naima and Karen please step forward

Paul, you sang Come Pick Me Up. The reaction was negative as the vast majority thought that the song was pitchy and your performance was underwhelming. Did the comments influence the vote?

Naima, you sang Umbrella. They were impressed by the new arrangement of the well-known song but thought at times that it was a little bit too performance focused. What have the public made of you?

Karen, you sang I Could Fall In Love. After you had a standing ovation last week people were a little bit underwhelmed by that paticular song. Did the public save you?

Well I can reveal that one of you is in the bottom 3 and that person is....

Karen Rodriguez!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Karen but you are in the bottom 3. Congratulations to both Paul and Naima, you may take your seats in the couches. Karen, please join Ashthon on the stools.

Can I now have Scotty, Stefano and Jacob.

Scotty, you sang The River. Everyone agreed that you are going from strength to strength in this competition but were you able to prove that to the voters?

Stefano, you sang Lately. Whilst your passion in the song was admirable, everyone felt that your vocals were off at times. Could your raw emotion that you poured into the song make up for that?

Jacob, you sang I Believe I Can Fly. They felt that you were struggling to keep up with your amazing performances from the previous week but it was all the same a good performance. Have you made the Top 12?

The results are in and......

Jacob please join those on the...............

couches because you are safe!!!!!!!!!

Stefano, you are also......

in the bottom three with Karen and Ashthon!!!!!!!!!

Comisserations, that means Haley and Scotty you are both safe.

Now Karen, Ashthon and Stefano. You three have polled the least votes. According to the public, I can reveal that............

Ashthon, you are safe!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Ashthon, now it's between Stefano and Karen.

According the voters, Stefano you are................

you are leaving us tonight. Well done Karen, you are still standing.

However Stefano, you still stand a chance. Will DS save you?

Here is your big chance.

Stefano Langone - Lately

The DS public have decided and I'm sorry Stefano, you are not being saved tonight.

So we say goodbye to Stefano.

Join us next weekend when the Final 12 will sing their hearts out.

Goodbye!

Thanks for the game, unclekevo

So just out of curiousity. What happens this week for Ashthon? As she won't be singing a song, meaning we can't judge her... XD

Very good point!

We're going to get fed up of listening to “When You Tell Me That You Love Me” week after week.

This result was more exciting than the actual one.


I was wondering this too, I was just going to sit back and see what happened.

I will pick a song from her birth year for her
