fred is becoming as smarmy as colin.

I know, I just realised.

Who have I missed then apart from Fred?

Well Fred isn't doing too badly with this and he enjoyed himself, now to the judges.
Park, shut your mouth, he's just put him through with his big ignorant mouth. Much fairer comments from Craig and now here's nice Lesley.

Well done Fred. Park, you've just made sure Fred has gone through.

O.K stand by your beds here is TPT

Tara's up next

Tara next

Fred, you have to clap your hands and stamp your feet at the 'Glad all over' bits. Have you never seen the DC5 in action?

not forgetting Patrick Keilty IMO!

I don't know why some of them blatantly lie when they say things like Fred sang well. There are plenty of nice, tactful ways to avoid saying he was poor without pretending he was any good.

No one, he is the first: Tara next.

I hope she does the ending like she did this afternoon as if so, she will sail through it.

dont get me started on patrick,worst presenter i have ever seen on a show of this type.

what is she on

Claudia is great at this - Don't miss Cat at all!

Tara to win

Well here we go with TPT, ooh her voice sounds a bit ropey, don't know if she's suffering with a sore throat

Yes, and the irony is HE clearly thinks he's brilliant!

Tara covered me in goosebumps when she was rehearsing this earlier today, I think it's fantastic. Have always loved this song, brings back memories for me.

I dont think its her best performance, hope she not in the bottom 3 tonight

She is really improving in confidence without being arrogant. Love her!

not bad from tara

she's got a kind of marianne faithfull kind of a vibe going here which is quite moving.

Not sure about that performance from Tara. Very understated, perhaps too much though

Bit shouty in the middle, but the expressiveness was lovely.

Maybe it's because I wasn't watching it, just listening.

Edit: Can now see that Tara gets her sweating from her pa-pa

Her voice really isn't the best- and on two and a half hours sleep - but there were phrases in that which almost sounded good

Very touching how she always looks up at her parents when she finishes a song....

Shes really got that sweating under control now thankfully.
