We've got a bit of catching up to do on this, so to start us off here's my view on last Saturday's show:
Hayley - Good solid performance, but nothing special for me.
Darius - At a big disadvantage because he has the deepest singing voice and the songs were written for women, but I think he did well.
William - Brilliant as ever. Took the song and started off normally, then turned it around into his own style in the second half.
Rosie - In a word - awful. Song didn't suit her voice at all, too much warbling, and was flat on numerous occasions. No question in my mind that she had to go.
Gareth - A revelation for me this week. Best performance so far in the finals. Really picked the right song for his vocal talents.
Zoe - Not as impressive this week, but still bags of personality.
So it was bye bye Rosie. However, to misquote an Abba song, it was 'The Loser Takes It All' this week as she was promptly offered the chance to record with Pete Waterman! Not only that, but Kate Thornton gleefully told the 5 remaining contestants this 'good' news live on air. Of course they were happy for her, but what a slap in the face it must have been for them. Very tactless, I thought.
What were your views on this show, and what did you think about Rosie's subsequent good fortune?
