Late as ever! - Finally saw the 'double' here last night - was going to post then but knackering end to the week with problem ships in Mexico and Uruguay, with documents all screwed up - eventually sorted by midnight!

Did manage to see all the songs in between phone calls - except Taylor's first.

Interesting night - nerves kicking in?

Chris still the powerhouse and hard-to-beat contender. Taylor remains my wild card and reckon it could just be a Chris + Taylor final.

Paris showing her youth - which I think caused the low voting, but I, too, thought Elliot would go - there's a sort of consistent inconsistency there for me.

Kat has a great voice but I'm not sure that she has the edge to take her to the final two. Whereas Chris has a magnetism and you just want to see him perform. Why Taylor for me? He gives and lives his music and that makes up for any ragged edges and wierdness. His 'Something' held me - I didn't expect to see the performance that he gave.
