My thoughts on the Final 12 performances

Happy Belated 24th Birthday to Sujeeta

My ratings for the contestants... in order of appearance:

Gayle- She performed very very well wif "I Feel The Earth Move"!!! She keeps getting better!!! She truly has the X-factor!! 9/10
Rahimah- She looked very pretty!!! Tho she sounded a little drunk, I think she has taken a big risk by looking more feminine in the black attire!! but as Ken had stated, this wasn't the real Rahimah. 8/10
Mathilda- With her rendition of Goldfinger, she was THE BEST OF THE FEMALES!!! Should try to lose the 'arrogance' in her performance tho. 9.5/10
Hady- The most natural of the lot, his rendition of Robbie Williams' "Rock DJ" was a smart choice, and very well done!!! 9/10
Jay- In his valiant attempt to sound different, his prefromance of "My Funny Valentine" fell flat. But his technicial abilities and vocal control pulled him through. 6.5/10
Emilee- Tho she had shown some improvement and looked really hot, the vibrato is still evident (tho less obvious than before) and she still looked like a getai singer. 7/10
Joakim- showed some improvement wif his rendition of Take Taht's "How Deep Is Your Love". Charming and smooth delivery. 8/10
Nurul- we know she's a fan of Stevie Wonder, but the song her parents chose for her was a very difficult one to master, and she didnt quite do it justice in spite of a valiant effort. 6/10
Norman- his vocals were the weakest of the lot, lacking the power and the pitch for a bad song choice that left him 'high and dry'. Didnt help that he lacked the technical prowess that Jay possessed, but then again noboody's perfect. 5.5/10
Jonathan- Wowwee he's simply THE BEST!!! He may haf gone offkey a few times, but thankfully his overall stage presence and charisma made him stand out from the rest. 10/10
Jasmine- Super sweetie!!! Has potential, but a little too saccharine to deliver a powerful song like "Aint No Mountain High Enough"... and she looked a little obiang in that dress and hairdo. 7/10
Paul- Quite good with the song for the Smallville series, but second only to Jon's performance. His hair flinging is a bit distracting tho. 9/10
