I agree with you too, BusyBee - the bias shown by the teachers towards some students has been absolutely appalling! First Louise, and now Peter, Paris and Alex can do no wrong in Richard and Carrie's eyes. At least David had the decency to vote for James on performance tonight, as Robin Gibb voted for Alistair last week.
James - I thought Alistair's performance tonight was fantastic too - both his first song and his own composition. And yet the judges (apart maybe from Robin) absolutely tore him to shreds! On the interactive footage between the shows, poor Alistair was sat on the steps of the Academy talking to Alex, and saying 'What on earth do I have to do?'
I think Barry's time in the Academy was definitely up. I'm not denying he's got a good voice, but unfortunately he has no charisma or stage presence at all and I just don't think that's something you can be taught.
Thought Carolynne and James were excellent tonight, but didn't enjoy Alex or Paris's performances as much as usual. Peter did sing a bit better tonight but he's still not my 'cup of tea'.
Here endeth my humble opinion!
