I love the shit out of Courtney! Ahem. Sorry, I'll try and show some restraint. The top three performances of the night (once again dear reader, this is just the humble authors opinion).
1.Ricki-Lee
1.Courtney
2.Anthony
You might note both RL & Court are tied for first, this is because they both ROCKED DA HOUSE! RL has impressed me more with each performance and the CourtJester once again proved he is probably one ofthe most talented guys in the competition and can be remarkably cute when he dances. Little Anthony was great again - some FABULOUS chord changes and madprops to the guy with the poster that read Melbourne Guys Love Anthony - niiiiiiice. (I think I've solved the Dan vote-off from last week -the girly girls are now voting for the little gay man) Chanel and Hayley didn't choose the best songs but they were still quite good. I would have paid money for Chanel to do These Boots Are Made For Walking. Good money. And I don't understand what Marcia's freaking problem is with Chanel but it is starting to piss me off greatly. Casey was good but she needed to really kick the song up a notch. Emelia was boringly average and Amali can sit right in that box with her, preferably holding Daniels hand as he settles into the boring box of "damn that sucked but not in a bad way, more of a 'meh' way" - but they're all unfortunately safe. Even though they did boring songs boringly. With touchs of yawnworthy selfindulgence on Emelia's behalf- "I deserve to be here, remember I've never sung in front of a crowd before or had any experience and only knew I could sing a few months ago because until then my boyfriend/circumstances/wars in Iraq kept me downtrodden and I never sang until I had a child and realised how beautiful I really really am. And remember I deserve to be here. Not Ngairre. Really. Deserve. Really" Blerghhhhhh. And Marty. Marty Marty Marty what the HELL were you thinking? A little Tom Jones would have been brilliant for you to do -sooooo the Stones?? What the?? My prediction (and lets note that I've been wrong every single week so far) is the final two to be Marty and Hayley.

Australian Idol - Pop
Why I love Chanel . . . and why you should too. Or Else.
A. Because she sang one of my favourite songs in theoriginal top 30 perfs and did the Portishead girl proud.
B. Because she has a fucking sense of humour
C. She loves Courtney (and Daniel and Ben)
D. She can actually sing (unlike say, Emelia)
E. Hello!! Did you SEE her last night? There are NO more reasons necessary. History Repeating was FAB. And if anyone has a problem with that - you tell them to see me, I am ready to rumble on my bestest girlfriends behalf.
Top three performances in order of brilliance and my humble opinion - Chanel, Ricki-Lee and Anthony. I am as suprised as the next person that Anthony is up there, but he was really good. Much better quality -it was hard to pick a brilliant performance until my girl came out and struck a pose (but Anthony was in the lead up to that point). Chanel was the best AGAIN but verrrrrrry closely followed by Ricki-Lee - that Beyonce song freaking rocked. She has in the past struck me as just bland vanillapopgirl but that performance put the grrrr in vanillapopgrrrrl (baby!!) and mad props to little Anthony for leaving the gel at home where it belongs and scruffing up a bit to bouncebouncebounce!Courtney was the next best and then I didn't hate (in no particular order) Marty (liked his song choice, screw you Dicko), Daniel (although I didn't nec like the song - still, a better perf from the girlyoperaboy) and Hayley (I thought she did another okay job) BUT horror of horrors - Casey (!!) was average, Amali was average, Emelia was average (which is bloody brilliant for her) and Dan's Creed sucked the ass of Christian rockers everywhere. Unfortunately there are women who apparently find him attractive - I don't personally get it - so he won't be going anywhere. I do think Holden was on the money though when he said Dan doesn't have the best voice in the world. Methinks mayhap it be betwixt young Amali, Emelia and (I hate that this might be the case - geddit? Case/Casey?) Casey. She was just average and she didn't get my vote this week and I think a lot of her fans will feel the same and she'll have lost a lot of votes. I think we all know how much I would like to see Emelia go, but she wasn't hideous and I'm worried that will save her. Hopefully she doesn't have the fan base and as I said to Fosse last night - when i hear that Pink song on the radio or see the filmclip I'm not ashamed to say I tear up and Emelia just had me nodding wryly and huffing that she wasn't as bad as usual. Still, fingers crossed . . .
