Oh dear--I must confess to being really disappointed at tonights show. Firstly, I could only recognise half of the Marias from previous shows--the other half, I do not remember seeing at all , at any stage.
Secondly, it was more like a pop contest--another X Factor, or Pop Idol.
How on earth is anyone supposed to judge a singer for the part of Maria when they are singing "Crazy Chick" or a Bjork song??
For me Helena was the weakest one and should have gone. I thought Leanne was best, although I hated her outfit and her song. Although Connie came top apparently, I thought she was Ok--but I did not like her eye make-up --looked weird! I thought Simona looked beautiful---lovely dress and hairstyle--but she is still not Maria. Belinda sang "Over the Rainbow" quite nicely, but she looked too old for Maria. Siobhann looked as though she was on "Stars in your Eyes" doing Shania Twain--not very original.
I thought it was a bit mean when they made Connie stay where she was, leaving her till almost the end----especially when it turned out she had the most votes.I know it is supposed to be random, but I did not think that was a nice thing to do.
The bits I liked best were when they were singing the songs from "The Sound of Music"---but I hit the Karaoke button--but still could not sing along to "Crazy chick " or the Bjork song--whatever it was called.
However, I will be there next week---and the week after......
