Tim Farriss, Kirk Pengilly of INXS were the mentors this week, Luke Dickens is up first singing Lenny Kravitz Are you gonna go my way. For the first time I don't mind Luke vocally, but his stage presence is still awkward and forced.

Dicko: Great start. You got a big powerful rock voice. But I have to say this again, your voice is still too one dimensional, more light and shade.

Marcia: I agree with Dicko that it was a great opener. Love you.

Kirk: You're a cheeky one. You were on a tractor, no experience, it's amazing to see you up there.

Kyle: Nice work. Hot. You obviously have been singing songs with belting, I'm curious what you're going to sing next week when it's Motown night.

Vocal: 9 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 8

Sophie Patterson is next. She sings Ana's Song by Silverchair. She says it is a song about the lead singer having problems with being anorexic. I didn't know that. INXS thinks she has a huge future. I don't know what she has to do, she still tends to get shaky when getting of the softer part of the vocal.

Kirk: That was good, but I still think you need to improve your stage presence more. You just stood and then stand. But you have a great ability in choosign unique/unpredictable songs.

Kyle: You did a good job, I'll be honest, when I saw your rehearsal, I thought you're gonna be a disaster, but you did a reasonable job.

Dicko: That was a tough song choice, but you did well. Good intensity level. No pitch problems. But you still need to step up in opening more of your personality.

Marcia: People are interested in you, so open up. Don't just sit and stand there, but come to us, captivate us.

Vocal: 9 (only the high register) --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 10

Roshani Priddis sings Foo Fighters - The Pretender. INXS thinks she picks the good song and has great voice and energy. Wow, I honestly thought she was gonna fail, but that great even with minor pitch problems. Standing ovation from Dicko and Marcia.

Dicko: That is my favourite edgy song of all time. I was worried you were going to ruin it. Energetic, full of committment. taking risk. Fantastic!

Marcia: I love Foo Fighters. I think that's the most committed performance you ever did.

Kirk: I thought that was crap. Just joking. Vocally awesome, to go soft and then hard and then soft

Dicko: That was brilliant, hate the outfit, love the performance.

Vocal: 9 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 9

Chrislyn Hamilton is singing No Doubt - Don't Speak. INXS is surprised with her not so rock song choice.

Kirk: You really were crying. That was good, a difficult song. Yeah, it was really good.

Kyle: At the beginning, you made me worried. First part was I thought the death of Chrislyn, but towards the end was brilliant. Too bad the cameraman didn't catch you throwing the mic stand. Beginning 4 out of 10, Ending 10 out of 10.

Dicko: Thank you for giving us great performances in the past, but I thought that was clumsy and over the top. You cant afford that to win.

Marcia: What does that song mean to you? tell me.
Chrislyn: I got my heart broken a couple of times, and to the point where I really didn't want to hear what that particular person has to say
Marcia: We all have had experienced unrequited love. You use it, but don't let it take you over. Try to keep it a bit more together.

Vocal: 7 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 6

Jessica Mauboy will be performing her new single tomorrow.

My ranking:
1. Roshani - totally out of her comfort zone, didn't think someone as subtle as her could be so energetic.

2. Sophie - Yep, credit is given for picking a great song to sing


Just Okay (3 - 7 interchangable)
3. Thanh - good song choice, but okay performance
4. Wes - He's too like Chris Murphy, typical rock aussie vocal and will get far mainly because of personality
5. Chrislyn - terrible start, but recoverd quite well towards the end
6. Mark - no showstopping moment
7. Luke - for the first time I enjoy him vocally

ZZZZZZZZZZZ
