Team Tom and Team Will sing for the semi finals
Wowsers. What a show! We had dry ice, drama, some Danny O’Donoghue rapping. Nuff said.
It’s the last chance for the artists to prove themselves ahead of the semi finals and boy, did they do their best to ensure their places! Our eyebrows were blown away by the pyrotechnics, and don’t even get us started about those performances with team leaders Tom and Will…
Opening the show we had Leanne Mitchell singing ‘Put A Spell On You’ which rendered our coaches utterly spellbound. It was moody, magical and with a saxophonist in tow, one might even say it was ‘saxy’ too (sorry).
Frances Wood began her performance sitting on a throne fit for a pop princess. Singing club classic ‘Show Me Love’ (TUUUUNE), Will resisted the temptation to do The Carlton dance (again).
Matt and Sueleen sat faced away from each other to sing ‘Missing’. At first we thought they’d had a bust-up, but alas it was just some dramatic staging. Our favourite duo left in the show (don’t tell anybody), Matt and Sueleen showcased their chemistry and in Jessie’s opinion, some ‘refreshing harmonies’.
Joelle strutted on stage to sing ‘Stronger’. After finding herself in the bottom two last week, the words of this song couldn’t ring more true. If you couldn’t tell, Joelle meant business this week; she had shoulder pads for one, AND Pyrotechnic explosions that made will.i.am re-enact an action film. We think that means he liked it…
Ruth Brown gave it some welly singing ‘Next To Me’. If you do ever find yourself next to Ruth, can you ask her to be our friend? Anyway, as you may know, Tom has sung with many esteemed artists in his time, and he regarded Ruth as better than them all. A job well done, indeed.
Tyler James’s rendition of ‘Sign Your Name’ had us with our pens poised looking for the dotted line. Joined by a slew of string instruments and a screen with his face emblazoned all over it (no bad thing), it was a symphony of loveliness. We loved it. The coaches loved it. Didn’t you just love it?
Adam Isaac gave us a gig experience (only a bit less sweaty) singing ‘High and Dry’ with a guitar in hand. Tom likened Adam to a younger version of himself, which means he is a legend in the making. Get in.
Jaz Ellington took the words the right out of our mouths singing ‘Just the Way You Are’ and dedicated the sentimental words to his wife for their anniversary. Altogether now: “Awwwwww”
And then things got really special. Sir Tom and his artists performed ‘Hit the Road Jack’ in a style bigger than big band. They hit the road and smashed the notes. Will performed ‘I Got A Woman/ Gold Digger/ Just The Way You Are’ with his artists and showcased some super fly dance moves.
One heck of a show, we’re dreading the results show, where we’ll be saying goodbye to four artists…
See you then!
