The Superstar contestants performed live again this evening, and for two of them it was the end of the road.
In a double elimination Jon Moses and Jeff Anderson left the show, as the final five were revealed.
Jon Moses from Newcastle sang Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2;
Melanie C said: “You were in great voice tonight, I have been concerned on your higher notes but it was good tonight.”
Jason Donovan said: “That was a beautiful tender interpretation of a classic song, my only concern is that you should just go for it a little bit more, you need to blow us away.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “You were a bit sharp in places, I hate to say this, I didn’t get Jesus of Nazereth, I got Jesus of Las Vegas.”
Jeff Anderson from Newtonards, Northern Ireland sang Whole Lotta Love by Lez Zepellin;
Dawn French said: “Wow, wow Jeff, you is one sexy Jesus, that was fantastic and how dignified you are you after last night and retaliating like that with that performance, you have come on so much this week, you’re a mammoth talent.”
Jason Donovan said: “Sexy Jeffy baby, finally we’re seeing you coming out of your shell. “
Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “The energy was from you tonight instead of the dancers and you released your inner rock god”
