Hello all

started the thread and then almost forgot to watch the show lol

Noisy audience this evening

California theme (wtf) and songs the contestants wish they had written. Okay what were they drinking when they came up with these themes tonight?

I'm not sure whether Phillip's off-beat, tongue-in-cheek attitude is amusing or if his 'too cool for school' demeanour bugs me.

At last...Jennifer looks cool, and other judges not too bad. ...and Ryan is all man.

Somehow you got to feel sorry for the 4 contestants...

Phillip....pushing himself to go as far as he can, so he says. Uptempo number is a good way to start imo, might keep me awake too. Like how he performs that song...8/10

He bugs me too Meg, but I have to say that was a better performance than most I have seen from him.

Agree it was quite catchy.

Still trying to like his voice though. I do wish he'd clear his throat.

Back after ads....

Hollie.....don't know that song, has some nice tones, and a voice like hers should go far...

8/10

Sorry, I didn't recognise the song there, but she made a good job of it. I wish she wasn't wearing the false eyelashes, she looked as if she could only open one eye properly, which was catching my attention more than the song

Is this Josh's California themed song

Back to Joshua....You Raise Me Up....love his voice, but felt he rushed the song during most of it, then gave it some extra towards the end...

8/10

Good performance from Joshua again

California Dreamin' Theme, so said Ryan....

Jessica.....old style of song for her...don't think it suited at all..just mo

7/10

Jess is great but the blues is too old for a 16 yr old

ETA I mean adult old

Unsure on that one from Jessica, she seemed to be a little overpowered by the band for a lot of the song. The performance was good though, just the band was a little too much for her, IMHO.

Loved that from Hollie. It was like a proper stadium anthem.

Jessica and Joshua have done far better than this but are still the best at commanding the stage.
Nice for Jessica to get the pimp spot FINALLY.

Jessica chatting....joking re her being 64 and singing.

Phillip & Josh duet.....not much harmony at the start of that song, sounded flat....know this song from somewhere, and both of them are doing ok with it once they got into it.

8/10 for trying

I liked that from Joshua and Philip, I think it suited both of them

Think the catchiness of the song kind of carried Joshua and Phillip.
constant screaming when Phillip sings. I bet even he's annoyed by it. Both he and I would like to believe he will win based on his talent, but no, it will be because he's hot. lol

How right you are Ryan, re Randy's jacket....

Jessica and Hollie....Eternal Flame...definitely know that one. Difficult to say which of them shines in this number, for at times they are equal. Nice ending, well done girls....8/10

I think the boys won on the duets. Didn't like the girls. At all.

I like the swings. I want a go.

Thought that was rather a sweet version from Jessica and Hollie.
