My Top 6 thoughts.
Ben - he is so awkward but so loveable. I really do like him but I think he’s coke as far as he deserves. I don’t really want him getting a top 3 spot, however won’t be absolutely devastated if he does. 3/5. Man this whole arrangement thing is frustrating me. This competition is supposed to find new talent and they shouldn’t have to be able to make new arrangements of every song.
Phoebe - I chose the Freya Ridings but I’m not surprised public chose birdy. Bit of a flat performance, maybe I am just biased against it … but it certainly wasn’t her most ‘WOW’ performance. I still think she should win the whole thing. On this performance I only give her 3.5/5
Amali - I’m a proud Dimond Diva haha. I think P!nk would have been better. But this girl is a natural pop star. I love her. 4/5
Josh - he’s had a bit of a glow up from his school band days. I think Drake would have been a better fit for him. However Josh can basically sing anything and I’m gonna love it. First couple of weeks I would have ranked Phoebe as my number 1, but I think Josh has officially become my fave in this comp. 4.5/5
Anya - great song choice. I really enjoy listening to her sing. This whole arrangement thing so so stupid and HCJ’s attempt to explain it tonight just made it even more confusing. I am with Kyle Sandilands tonight. 3/5.
Royston - I didn’t vote True Colours but I think it’s probably a good choice for him. I didn’t really connect with it, but no denying he had a great voice. 3/5
At the audition stage I was a little worried about the lack of talent but I think these 6 have grown and are all wonderful talent in their own right.
Also there was obviously some filler content tonight. Why didn’t they increase the talent performance time? Let them sing a full 3min song!! And was Amy Shark looking at a bit orange?
Ricki-Lee however the Belle of the ball. A true beauty!
