So how was the show for you? 

I thought Lakisha rocked the casbah!
(Plus I had tons of eye candy in the form of Jon Bon Jovi – so the show worked for me!)

Phil Stacey was up first with Blaze Of Glory. The vocal was fantastic throughout the first verse and I thought he was a sure thing to go through, but then he lost it in the chorus (gutted). He just looks too sweet to be a rocker. Simon said he sang like a bad actor, he could be going tonight. PS – Can the make up artist please do something to stop this poor man sweating from nowhere but his face!

Jordin’s choice was ambitious to say the least. She sang Livin’ On A Prayer and I’m afraid it was just too much. She just couldn’t reach the notes. I found myself cringing in places and I really couldn’t watch. Simon described it as screechy and compared her look to someone from the Adams Family. Not my favourite performance from Jordin, but I think she’ll be back.

Lakisha was next and WOW! What more can I say? I mean did you see her. This girl means business! She sang ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’ like she had been doing it for years. Paula said ‘the tone of your voice is money in your pocket’ and Simon jumped up and kissed her! Somehow I think Lakisha will be here one more week (at least) don’t you?

Blake offered up You Give Love A Bad Name. I would love to say I was mesmerised or blown away, but I wasn’t. I was totally distracted by the hair! Who is he trying to be? Is it really a good idea to completely change your look in the middle of the competition? The answer..No!

The vocal was good and all was going well, until Blake threw in some sort of improv’ beat box contest with a computer. It’s getting a bit old now mate! I think the judges were watching something else, they loved it. Paula said ‘this was your night’ and Randy was impressed. Simon commended him for taking a risk. ‘Half of the audience would hate it, half would love it, but this is what will keep you in the competition next week’. I think he will go through but I was definitely a member of the first group Simon referred to!

Chris Richardson opted for ‘Dead Or Alive’ and I nearly died when he forgot the words in rehearsal infront of Jon Bon Jovi! Excuse me? Learn the words dude, this guy is a legend! Chris hit home when it counted though, he belted out that track like his life depended on it (though sometimes he was a bit shouty!) All in all it was a solid performance, but come on…some of the others are in a different league. Randy said he liked it as he made it his own, but Simon wasn’t sure if it was a performance that would keep him in. Ouch!

Melinda brought the show home with her rendition of Have A Nice Day. It was a gutsy song choice as it’s a less ‘well known’ song, but it was no problem for Mel. Even Jon Bon Jovi offered her a place in the band - ‘You nailed it’. Tonight Melinda went from super sweet to rock chic extraordinaire! Go on girl! Paula said ‘how does it feel to be a rock star?’ and both Randy and Simon agreed she was like a young Tina Turner. Now THAT is a compliment!

The votes are in…
Tonight we lose Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson!
NO WAY!
Is it just me or did Jordin just get REALLY lucky!
I can't believe it!

Well, that's reality TV for ya! It's all down to the public!
See you next Friday for more thrills and spills.
So... Who's out next? Leave your comments x
