It was sad to see Anne go tonight - I even shed a tear. Of course, I didn't like her enough to actually pick up the phone and vote, but at least she didn't repulse or bore me as much as the other contestants.

So, we have 5 left. If we believe the hype, these are the 5 best singers left in Australia. Should I be worried yet? My weakly formed opinion is:

Emily
Most Improved. Recent weeks have impressed even me (ref: Upclose & Personal, Motown week). A bit on the yelly side, but beggars can't be choosers. I felt her 2 touchdowns were "desperation" touchdowns from Mark and possibly slightly undeserved, but she rocked singing "How Come You Don't Call Me No More" on the no-judges pseudo interview show on Friday night.

Lee
Can't sing for peanuts but I like him anyway, he brings colour (literally) to the show.

Kate
I'm sorry, there's nothing I like about Kate. I've tried and tried, but she has zero depth when she sings and hasn't improved in 7 weeks. Can't believe she wasn't bottom 3 tonight.

Dan England
Can't be bothered retyping what I wrote for Kate.

Daniel Spillane
Up until last night, see comments for Kate and Dan. Then suddenly, someone performed a brain transfusion and he now possesses a modicum of singing and moving ability. Note moving, not dancing. Still, between him and Anne tonight, no question, Daniel should have gone.

Highlights of this year's Idol? All the money I'm saving from not voting.
