Previous Episode: The X Factor Australia Season Four – Boot Camp Continues!
Bella Ferraro was in the middle of her song before stopping still. Will she do enough to go through? Who is the Top 24 and WHO is the X Factor SuperGroup?
Here’s a run-down of Bella’s song as we left it last night…
DAY 2
Bella Ferraro
Singing: Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House. (see yesterday’s episode recap for iTunes’ link)
She manages to pick up again, but is it too little too late?
Judges’ Comments: Natalie just tells her to believe in herself. The judges know she sings better than anyone and Ronan at least thinks she can get her through her word-forgetting. The judges have a talk to her back stage.
Now, back to the rest of the bunch:
Vendulka Wichta
Singing: Your Song by Elton John
Judges’ Verdict: The judges think she’s incredible. I agree.
Shiane Hawke
Singing: Battlefield by Jordin Sparks
Judges’ Comments: The judges saw that when the crowd reacted she gave it all she got! Guy loves the cute factor but they’re looking for a superstar.
Adil Memom (and he’s brought along a friend- a hoarse throat!)
Singing: The Boys of Summer by Don Henley
Judges’ Comments: Despite his bad throat- he does SPECTACULARLY! A STANDING OVATION! Guy tells him he wouldn’t have even known. Ronan actually tells him to lose his voice more often.
Chris Cayzer
Singing: Baby, I love Your Way by Peter Frampton
Judges’ Comments: Mel liked that a lot.
Foursome
Singing: P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) by Michael Jackson
Judges’ Comments: Guy loved how they put that together in such a small time frame.
Samantha Jade
Singing: Not Over You by Gavin Degraw
Judges’ Comments: The judges loved it! Ronan would buy her record.
Hayden Maurirere
Singing: Rise and Fall by Craig David
Judges’ Comments: He stuffed up a bit and the judges are dumb founded.
William Singe
Singing: Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
Judges’ Comments: The crowd go crazy and the judges know it!
Justin Standley
Singing: Higher Love by Steve Winwood
Judges’ Comments: Natalie thanks him. It moved her. The other judges also approve.
Jason Owen
Singing: Fire and Rain by James Taylor
Judges’ Comments: Natalie says he has to work on his performance but his voice is ‘delicious’. The others agree.
Josh Brookes
Judges’ Comments: The judges saw that he put everything into that and the public loved him. Very good.
Angel Tupai
Singing: If I Was A Boy by Beyonce
Judges’ Comments: She has Natalie in tears. Ronan thanks her for such an unbelievable performance.
With that all done, it’s time to find out who the judges will be mentoring, who the final 24 is and who will be in The X Factor Australia’s first ever SuperGroup.
