The Wildcard Show - S06E12

8 Sep regan's blog | Email this page | 156 reads

It's been an anxious wait for Thursday's Semi finalists but the time has arrived for them to learn their fate and find out who is joining Chrislyn Hamilton, Wes Carr, Tom Williams, Thanh Bui, Mark Spano and Teale Jakubenko in the Top 12.

Andrew G has the first result and tells Brooke Addamo that she's made it before James tells Madam Parker that she too has made it.

There are four places left up for grabs but there are only 8 performance slots available. The wildcards will be announced one at a time and must then head straight to the stage to perform.

Here are the wildcards:

Amanda Grafanakis
Voting Numbers
 All the Best - The Best The Best

This is a much better performance from Amanda. Her personality has come out and she seems a lot more relaxed on the stage. Did I mention she looks great and the stylists have done good with her outfit.

Nicole Banks
Voting Numbers
Sara Bareilles - Little Voice - Love Song Love Song

I really liked Nicole during the semi finals and was surprised to not see her go through. Tonight was a little pitchy but I think she's definitely missing from the Top 12.

Luke Dickens
Voting Numbers
 Greatest Hits - Angels Angels

This was a brave choice by Luke. Most of the song is pretty good but his voice really seems to be struggling in parts.

Roshani Priddis
Voting Numbers
Alicia Keys - The Diary of Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You If I Ain't Got You

I'm really not sure what I make of Roshani. She's got a good voice and picks songs that are ok but I'm just not sure she's a stand out despite what the judges seem to think.

Why is Marcia rambling so much tonight?

James Spargo
Voting Numbers
Five for Fighting - 2 + 2 Makes 5 - EP - Superman (It's Not Easy) (Superman) It's Not Easy

Despite being quite a likeable guy, he's dragging out his notes again. He's not quite as pronounced as in the semi's but I think he's a little one dimensional. Besides, I'm sure he'd rather be at home with his new son.

Brooke Schubert
Voting Numbers
 Songbook - A Collection of Hits - How Do I Live How Do I Live

Another good song choice by Brooke but she's just so middle of the road. She's likely to just get lost in the middle of tonight's vote as well.

Jonny Taylor
Voting Numbers
Hootie & The Blowfish - The Best of Hootie & The Blowfish (1993-2003) - Let Her Cry Let Her Cry

It's definitely a song I'd expect to hear Jonny sing but it's a bit of a let down, choice wise. After dragging Hound Dog into boredom last week he's still choosing to sing soft songs. I would have preferred he'd taken a good rock song and shown some grunt. That was too soft for me.

Sophie Paterson
Voting Numbers
Jason Mraz - We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things - I'm Yours I'm Yours

Again, a contestant who has picked a song with no balls. This is the last chance you have to earn a place in the Top 12 and you want to sing me to sleep? Where was the inspiration to pick up a phone and vote from that? Anyone else hear London Calling?

That's it people. Don't forget to vote. Four of tonight's performers will go through to the Top 12.

Tomorrow night it's the results!
