The end is so so near! It’s going to be a case of so close yet so far for one unlucky semi finalist tomorrow night… Wonder who it will be?
First up Olly Murs sang ‘Can You Feel It?‘ He boogied and sang his little heart out, albeit in a rather snug fitting white shirt and tight white trousers. I just love Olly 
Next up was young Joe McElderry who sang ‘She’s out of my Life‘. The guy has such emotion in his voice which defies his tender years. But I really don’t think he’s a popstar, I think he’s a great recording artist who would be AMAZING on Broadway or the West End. The last lady in the competition, Stacy Solomon, sang ‘The Way You Make Me Feel‘. It was a very sexy and provocative performance by the usually demure diva. Danyl Johnson closed the first half of the show with a cracking rendition of ‘Man in the Mirror‘. Bizarrely the VT that was playing behind him looked like it belonged to MJ’s ‘Earth Song‘…
For the second half of the show the songs were chosen by the contestants themselves.
Olly did an unusual version of The Beatles classic ‘We Can Work it Out‘. Not sure that I liked it to be honest. Great dancing as usual though but I just couldn’t get the original version out of my head and Olly’s didn’t fit in. Joe was up next and he sang Journey’s song ‘So Now I Come to You‘ and of course he belted it out flawlessly. Stacy sang ‘Somehow (A Place for Us)‘, a song from West Side Story for her second performance tonight and WHAT a performance it was. Definitely the vocal of the night. Outstanding. Cheryl Cole gave a standing ovation alongside Stacy’s mentor Dannii Minogue, claiming that she had goosebumps all over her body after hearing her sing. Louis Walsh heaped praise on her and Simon Cowell told her she was back in the race. I wasn’t aware she’d ever left the race!!
The show finished with a somewhat lacklustre performance from Danyl singing Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing‘. He didn’t seem to put much effort into it until the final few seconds of the song. Very disappointed in him!
Based on tonight’s performances, I’d say that Olly and Danyl could be in the bottom two tomorrow… I’d hate to make a call on who’s going home though because I genuinely like them both. Olly is my winner though
Tune in again tomorrow night for the results show discussion!
