I felt so bad for Maya and Jacey. It really is just a popularity contest. Jacey was one of the best performers last night, and Maya hasn't sung a bum note all season until tonight, but that was just from emotional distress. She would have flourished with a judge's song choice.
Noora is so off-key and even when she isn't I can't handle that style of vibrato, plus her anger and entitlement was extremely offputting. She was the worst of the worst last night. So she goes through. I am so pleased Ben gets another chance to sing. He's an awkward guy on stage, but I just love it when he belts it out.
What a bizarre way to do the results show.

Baffling call, and no reply really isn't reassuring. Whilst SMS voting fell out of favour here in the UK about 15 years ago in favour of having a short code to call instead, and then subsequently app voting or free online voting, premium numbers are still widely used for competitions.In December 2021 Telstra stopped calls and texts to premium-rate numbers (i.e. any of the 1902 phone numbers or the 19 SMS lines). I guess they saw that was a significant enough portion of their audience so they made it a regular number. It doesn't even reply with a confirmation, though it was mentioned as such in the fine print.
Are 14 year olds watching Channel 7 live?Shocking result.
Shocking as in two of the best singers are gone, when there are still people like Ben, Noorah and Harry there.
Not shocking though that they voted out the two oldest - it's the 14 year olds with unlimited texts who will drive the results.

HAVE A NECTARINE, GONK
If they're not watching Survivor or MAFS they might be.Are 14 year olds watching Channel 7 live?
But they're probably not watching tv live the way we do, you're right.
That was bizarre to watch. Going from talking herself up like she's full of herself, to mouth gaping open in shock at being named one of the bottom four, to looking absolutely seething with anger about it after she went to stand with the others. Does she not know that the whole of Australia is watching, and that so many people are going to find that off-putting? The week beforehand we saw her arguing with an advisor about whether she had her eyes closed during a rehearsal, and that wasn't a good look either.Oh and how angry was Noorah at being bottom 4? She even commented that she thought she was great.
Have some humility!
Her performance of Hopelessly Devoted to You the previous week was not good, and that should have been the one that knocked her out of the competition. Instead, for some reason judges immediately tried to gaslight us into believing it was good. And now when you watch that performance back (eg. on the official YouTube channel) I swear that it's not the same. Little edits have been made that have cleaned the performance up from what it was in the broadcast.

Someone in production must have really hated Jasey putting him in the death spot. I thought both Jasey and Maya were a bit more style than substance.Shocking result.
I didn't notice the pitch problems they were talking about in Sash's performance... although there was a bit of talking going on where I am during that. I guess I must have missed something. I'll watch it back later, but my first impression was that it was a good performance.
Oh gosh... Noora's comment about getting Australia back on her side. Clearly she's been doing some reading.
I think they'd probably all do better to separate from social media during a competition like this, and all the pressure that goes with it. These are the times living we're in though, it's easier said than done.
