After tonight's unjudged Australian Idol: Up Close and Personal performances, Guy has solidified into my favourite. He and Paulini were neck and neck in my book for a while, but I love "When I get you alone" by Thicke, and he sang it well. I think he's listened to Dicko's comments to not toss into too many extraneous notes, and it's taken his performances of late to a whole new level. I also love the song Paulini chose (Fields of Gold) but I wish she'd done more of an Eva Cassidy rendition (Michelle Kwan skated to this when she won the bronze medal at the 2002 winter Olympics - always makes me teary) as opposed to Sting. Oh well. We'll see what happens on Sunday!

I also was quite surprised that Millsy was pretty good, though unfortunately he sounded a little too much like Ronan Keating and swallowed his words the same way through out the song. I liked his performance though, it sat well in his range. Shannon gave an interesting rendition of With or Without you but didn't do U2 justice. For some reason, I still can't warm to Cosima. I expected big things from Mariah Carey's Hero tonight, but she just didn't blow me away (in fact, she never has).
