Throw your arms around me!

{mosimage}Good old Vindiezel has already uploaded tonights performance of Throw Your Arms Around Me to his youtube site. You can watch it Here  You can also download it from his file site HERE 

Very odd judging tonight, they scored in the mid-range but Ross Wilson gave their performance a 4!!! Not much you can say about that?  Meanwhile, the hardest judge, Amanda Pelman,  gave them a score of 7. Talk about lack of consistency in the judging!! But hey – we LOVE Amanda!

Paulini sang beautifully but Simon seems to have lost a lot of confidence so his breathing and projection are almost non-existent. Watching the video back it looks like he's a bit over-whelmed by Miss P and has stopped believing in himself. Simon's vocals were pitchy but ok. The problem was there was absolutely no connection with the audience from him – and even Paulini was more focussed on Simon – trying to encourage him. Guys!!! Don't forget about us mob sitting out here watching you!

Simon!!! You are a born entertainer! What are you doing????? I know it's hard to stop looking at the beautiful Paulini, but you GOTTA! YOU are the star of this gig, Paulini is just there to help. And we've seen you do it so we know you can. Maybe Paulini needs to take a leaf out of Guy's book and make Simon do some singing in front of random crowds of people. Also a little choreography wouldn't hurt – I reckon Simon does much better when he moves around and gets involved in the fun of the performance. Anyway, I have my fingers, eyes and everything else crossed that they make it through next week and that Simon delivers a brilliant performance.

But all this puts them (undeservedly) at the very bottom of the rankings this week. So they need your votes more than ever!!

Text SIMON to 194 777 or ring 1902 555 012

There are a couple of moments worth highlighting from last night's show. One was when Simon stuffed up the words and sang "spread your wings" iinstead of "shed your skin" (something we all do when we sing that song LOL) and if you watch the vid you can see Paulini do a cute little heel kick in response. And the second was when Paulini and Simon left the stage leaving Jade and Michael and katie and Dave as the couples facing elimination. Before she left, Paulini stopped to give Jade an encouraging hug. Sweet. And of course, there's Paulini's soaring vocals in the chorus of the song, just stunning!

And finally, what on earth was going on with all those Paulini/Simon banners in the audience??? They were everywhere.  

Can't wait for Hayden's report of the night. 

Meanwhile, Paulini's single So Over You is moving UP in the ARIA Urban chart, up two places this week to number 16!  GREAT NEWS!

And This Time I Know It's For Real has gone Gold and moved back up the ARIA singles chart to number 2.
