I had been thinking that Alexandra was the best singer, but Laura really upped the ante tonight - doing some more proper singing and less of that god-awful melisma nonsense. Sorry, don't think much of Rachel, and hopefully the "men" who keep crying will get turfed out soon enough too. Wimps. Unfortunately, this thing gets voted for by the great British public, who are, by and large, morons. No offence, like.
Ruth won't win, but if she and her lovely mad Spanish hair need a shoulder to cry on when she bows out, I'm ready to volunteer - phwooaaarrr, as The Sun would say. ;-)
