I'm not a big fan of Katie's and thought she has definitely been riding her luck over the last few weeks BUT thought she sang really well tonight with a song I truly loathe. Didn't think she would get the public vote though - that was certainly a surprise.

Thought Malachi was great. The song really suited his voice and you can see he's really listened to what the teachers have been telling him. It was nice to see his lovely smile.

Marli - a good performance from Marli but I didn't think the song was particularly suited to her. She was obviously very nervous and it showed at times but I thought she did really well.

I thought Lemar and Sinead sang a difficult song really well but I'm getting a little bit tired of Lemar's mannerisms and wish he would just SING!!!

David - he was stunning. He's come on leaps and bounds and deserved the praise he got heaped upon him.

I though Ainslie and Nigel had the most difficult task but managed it really well. Thought the song was better suited to Nigel though.

And, I agree, I also thought Mariah was miming - shame on her!!
