After losing Andreas, only 4 contestants remain! Who will be the next eliminated contestant?! Theme is kind of wierd, something like "Arena Friday" (Arenafredag in Swedish), don't know what that means. All videos are YouTubes but Linnea's, which are taken from the Idol site and are only available in Sweden.

Read my recap, watch the performances and learn who was eliminated after the JUMP ...



Round 1:

Jay Smith


Bad romance (Lady Gaga) - This song choice is all wrong for Jay. He's singing it good but something there isn't working. Maybe it's his rocker styl or maybe it's just because this song isn't meant to be sang by strong vocalists, like Jay, who has a really raspy voice. However, the darkness in the song and his voice are a good combination, but I'm not digging this at all!


Linnea Henriksson


Don't you forget about me (Simple Minds) - Despite how much I love Linnea, this song is a bit dated. It feels old, of course it's the song fault, but she isn't giving it that contemporary touch. It's perfectly vocally but it's still a bit boring. Tough Linnea's shouts and that sort of whinings she does make this  performance totally impressive! I find some of them wierd but not all of them! The part when she walked through the crowd after the first shout was definitely an improvement and the song got much more interesting since then! Another amazing Linnea performance overall!!


Olle Hedberg


Fix you (Coldplay) - Coldplay + Olle should be amazing! And it is! His voice fits perfectlly in this type of songs! And his tone is each week more beautiful!! The slower parts are fantastic, much better than the fast part, although they were good, they weren't stellar as the slow parts. Another massive emotional performance for Olle!



Minnah Karlsson


Just the way you are (Bruno Mars) - I really like this song! Maybe she's singing it a bit to fast but when she got to the chorus it was really impressive! She's really delivering in this song and she's being very emotional. I'm really digging this female version of the song. I still think Matt Cardle (XF) did a better job with this song but Minnah was really near him!


Round 2:

Jay Smith


Against all odds (Phil Collins) - Much better than his first performance! This works perfectly for him! A slow song is always better for Jay, electropop things ruin him. Very emotional performance and his voice sounds terrific! This may be on of the first performances I've really liked of him, apart from "Like a Prayer".


Linnea Henriksson


Crazy in love (Beyoncé) - Sunning look, stunning face and stunning voice!!! An amazing Beyoncé cover! Not my favourite song choice but this girl really knows how to be quircky! Love how she slowed down this song to make it more ballady and emotional! Linnea is an utter star!! I would cry day and night if she's eliminated!


Olle Hedberg


Beautiful day (U2) - Rough start. Olle isn't sounding so good in this song, plus his doing his fake rock vocals. Really out of tune start! His improving in the chorus and the second part of the song. His tone is there but in a small portion. I like how he's singing it because I like him, but this isn't his best performance, and it may be the worst of the night really ...


Minnah Karlsson


Alone (Heart) -  She's singing laying on the floor.  Minnah's powerful vocals are definitely showing off in this song! She's better in slower songs but this is also really good! Where is that wind coming from? Pitch perfect and some amazing notes there!


So, well? Who is the winner of each round? Olle definitely won the first one with his Coldplay cover! And Linnea won the second with Beyoncé!

ELIMINATION time! Bottom 2 are, surprisingly, Linnea and Minnah!! Neither deserved to be there! Minnah performed excellent on both her songs, and Linnea? Come on! She nailed both her performances!! Who will be eliminated?! Linnea Henriksson is eliminated!!!!!! What the hell where swedishs thinking?!! Linnea was the winner! She shouldn't be eliminated! WHY?!!!! I'm crying  now ...
