Finally down to 4 acts that can really sing! I would have liked to have seen Maria in the final 5 - difficult to lose any of the acts then.
Shane is potentially a superstar in the making who has everything - a great voice, good looking, really nice guy, and developing stage presence and learning to move.
Brenda can make me like power ballads I never really liked originally (although I wasn't so keen on her performing an Anastacia number - that's the only song where she's come off second best to the original artist IMO) What a voice!!! Again, a really nice person!
Journey South - good singers both, but sometimes they don't make me feel very comfortable, could be that at times they don't look very comfortable, and duos are not really my thing. I liked their version of Candle In The Wind.
Andy has a great voice - pretty certain that the effects of his mother dying, in spite of trying to put his grief to one side, is playing havoc with his performance in the past few weeks.
The future for all of them - plus Maria who is a superstar - should be bright provided they get some original stuff, and are not doomed to rehash old songs!!
Phew! Sorry to go on
