Waiting a week to finish viewing what must have been recorded in one session is a bit frustrating. Demi was in the middle of choosing her Final Four and had already got all four chairs full but with plenty of good acts still to come.
Mario gets the 'big announcement' job with the overlays at the start as well as hosting the show. He's doing well.
Simone Torres doesn't have the 'look' but has a good voice and confidence on stage, This time, though, her low voice got a bit boring and her appeals to the audience to sing along were a bit naff and reminded us all of the 'wedding singer' that, actually she does. That's what Simon says too (but I genuinely did write this before he did!) Demi doesn't think she's seeing a 'star' and so Simone ought to be out but Demi adds her in and someone has to go. Because of the format, Mario says someone has to go and asks who. So the crowd are not sure whether to shout 'Yes' or 'No' in response to each name. Demi chooses Simone over Bree. That was a silly move but I expect someone else will oust Simone sooner or later anyway.
Danie Guymer sings Georgia beautifully and she has something special about her - gentle yet powerful. I like the fact that she is almost totally not made up. However, the makeover team will have a field day with her. Excellent. She just has to be in. Simone is out, having only just got in.
Rylie Brown is 16 and a bit Miss America Pageant Girl and probably a cheerleader too. Angels is OK. A bit anthemic and not a stunning performance. Notes were a bit hit and miss too. The dress was odd and I don't see her going through. She seemed dressed and presented as someone way older than 16. As a teenager having fun she could do well but not in that style. The judges agree and she's one of the only girls not to get a seat.
If you've been following the show you'll remember the character of Rion and the Jessica Sanchez clone Ellona. Both still to come and pretty much certainties for the Live Show.
Primrose Martin is next. She wrecks Blame It On The Boogie. Terrible singing. She looked good and danced well and clearly has some talent but she's not right tonight. She is pleading and pleading and actually getting a bit annoying. I think her dad, who was in someone like KC and The Sunshine Band or a group like that, recognised that she had gone wrong too. She gets sent home.
So it's Rion, from the very first auditions if I remember correctly. Very young but sings very very maturely and with feeling you can't really figure out where she's got it from. The country number I don't know but it was fabulously done. Just brilliant. She is a huge stand out performer and can only get better and better. She has to be in and each of the four girls seated know full well that one of them has to go. The one is Ashly. Not a popular decision with the crowd, by the sound of it.
There could still be another. And I reckon everyone in the room knows that.
It looks as though this may be all we get in tonight's programme with just 15 minutes left. Or will we get the first couple of Paulina's boys? Strange, but I have already almost completely forgotten the Overs. I may well completely forget the Boys too. This year I have a feeling it will be the Groups and the Girls who steal the show.
Big build up for Ellona who looks stunning but sounds very off-key. Gravity may be that sort of song but that was not the best of starts. She ends better. I'm not sure. Eh? Simon seems to think that was one of the best vocals in that category. He must hear something different and stands up for her as Demi appears not to want to swap any of the existing four chosen. After an age she puts her in. But who will she lose? It won't be Rion, or Danie. It's Jamie, who had been there for a long time. That was tough.
Mario tells us that it's 'next week' when Paulina and Simon get to choose. Actually it'll be tomorrow here in the UK.
