Yes, seriously...she listened to Simon. Before last week she was lost in the crowd, good voice but not on a par with the "big guns" and stage presence was unremarkable. She tried last week but got hurt by lapse in memory which then caused some pitch problems...Simon giving her a decent review I think gave her self-confidence, I suspect she thought if he thought that performance wasn't so bad then maybe...! She came out last night and sang her absolute best to date, the outfit would have been over the top for most but with her figure, she pulled it off! The way she moved...especially the little upper torso shakes HAD to get the attention of EVERY male not on the Bob Doyle mailing list! This was a great performance...naughty yet wholesome, full of life with vocals surpassed only by Melinda and Jordin! I thought this would be the week that would make or break her...how would she react to last week? In my opinion, she knocked it out of the park!
