Perhaps he's called Tabby because he sounds like one

Dont worry. Im still waiting to hear what they are singing tomorrow. Ben said we would be told exclusively.
I blame that boring bloke who looked like Don Brennan from Corrie.

Let's be honest - neither were brilliant.

That was a complete waste of time watching. I could have sworn we were supposed to get a preview of what the contestants were singing tomorrow.

I wonder if we'd have seen Tabby singing if Sharon hadn't been there.

But according to Sharon, Tabby has an edge. I thought they had left his hair as it was.

I hope they have more preparation for next week's show!

Tabby made such an impression on me that I've forgotten what he'll be singing already. Wish I could forget Rowetta too

Maybe Tabby will be neutered after the show tomorrow?

I wasn't allowed to watch tonight... well I could have apart from the other half asking if there was anything else on every 5 minutes. I relented and switched over to some other crap...

Glad to hear that Ro sounded so good, I'll try to catch up 3:30 tomorrow

Aggghhhhh I just got in and I clean forgot to set the video!!!!!!!Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!(bangs head on wall)
Right,I've set it for Sat afternoon now,hey thms really glad to see your pro Ro posts,she sounded good,eh...excellent.
Good choice of song,IMO she knows the age group to aim at,doin' a Dusty classic isn't going to hurt her credibility with the pink pound vote either.
As of now I've got a good feeling about "Saturday night live",all at Chez PIV will be loved up for Ro....
GO RO!! (hug)

...sorry..can't hear any of these comments..some mancunian is belting out a song in the background.

I think taking the guitar on stage for a 2 minute shortened song is a mistake for Tabby....and what was his make up like!

The stylists have actually made Cassie look worse. If anyone ever say Australian Idol, she now looks like Cosima.

Rowetta sounded quite good in my opinion..I may change my mind on her...will wait and see until tomorrow.

What a poor show though...too much rubbish and not enough rehearsal footage.

On last's night's show.

Cassie...what have they done to that lovely young girl? Sheesh...noooooooo. She looks like Cathy Dennis...the way Cathy Dennis used to look like...years ago!!!

It does, however, suggest that maybe they've 'stylised' Cassie to change her image to something funky or upbeat. I'd have given her a bob and let her do her own stuff. We shall see.

Tabby is coming over as more warm and likeable.

I liked Jonathon's hair! Nice job. Looked sweet. G4 looking much better...loved the clothes they'll be wearing.

It was funny seeing Steve sitting between Ro and Vee. Hehehehe. You could feel the luuuurve...not!

Was DEELIGHTED to hear that Ozzy (we are not worthy) is making an appearance next week. Love the Ozzster.

VWS - oops. Great, fab voices...didn't notice an atom of personality between them. Prove me wrong gals, get your game up!

2 to Go....nothing to say.

Roberta - beautiful girl.

I really don't think that song will do Ro any good. I didn't like it at all. But...I'm saying no more 'til tonight

On the contrary, i thought VWS showed fun and bubbly personalities last night! I agree with you about the voices, though!

Agree with most of your comments. I do get the impression that Terry Longden thinks he is working for Stars In Their Eyes. As thms stated - Tabby looks like Cher and as you rightly pointed out, Cassie does look a lot like Cathy Dennis.
Of course, I am going to totally agree about Jonathan and G4. Their choice of outfits are very nice. I did have visions of them wearing something horrendous.
Rowetta sounds quite good but I am a little disappointed with the actual song choice. Its a good choice but I would have liked a little more risk involved.Still annoyed that we dont know any of the others song choices except for Tabby and there will be lots of comparisons being given with the versions done by Ainslie and Peter from Fame Academy 1 and 2.
Should be a good night tonight. Hopefully the sound engineers will have done their job properly. That was a major complaint with Pop Idol 2 where the sound system was all over the place.
