"Running Up That Hill" (Kate Bush) - 8,5/10 - "Kiyomi is dangerous, she's a problem for everyone" Joel says. He thinks that if she can do this song, she can do anything and she could win. She messed up during rehearsals, which apparently never happens according to Joel. "It was kind of cool, I really enjoyed seeing her have a human moment" he says. This is a very Bo Bruce moment from our quirky lady. It's a great song for her but she doesn't really nail it the way Bo did. She doesn't has this airy voice that's required for this song. That said, she nailed every note and her tone was really phenomenal. She's my favourite, she's just so interesting. Her hand movements make her performances, it's her signature move and I love it. She better make the final.



 
"Let Her Go" (Passenger) - 7,5/10 -  He was engaged, he was ready, but he had to let her go. "Any true relationship is a beautiful thing and somehow, they come to an end sometimes, it's a difficult thing to even contemplate" Danny says "This song is love, I've not sang a love song, this is hard. The little boy in me needs love to survive, that's the part of me that keeps a hand out for love". The vocals here were a mess but thankfully for Danny, that's not what's important in his performances. He developed a deep emotional bound with the lyrics and that translated. If only he had opened his eyes more, it felt like he was shutting us out. Even with his eyes closed, he really delivered the song's message. My problem is that we aren't seeing the weird Danny from the previous weeks, just an unique dude singing indie songs now.



"OMG. This is so much, just thank you everyone for supporting me and you guys, I owe you so much for giving me that chance and believing in me, thank you" Kiyomi says. Wow! This is indeed shocking! Kiyomi has sold a lot more than Danny over the season and her inclusion in the finale was a forgone conclusion. It's a shame really, Kiyomi deserved a place in that final. I'm not saying Danny didn't but this girl is incredibly special. Will be seeing a lot more from her, there's no doubt.



"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (Rose Royce) - 8/10 - "This song is about abandonment, it's about that emptiness, it's about that whole in your heart when you end a relationship" Ricky says. She's never been there but she knows people who have gone through it. "They've gone through horror stories, it's been a nightmare for them, and you can see it in their eyes that they are shattered and broken hearted and I'm singing it for those people" she says. A powerful performance, every time I hear her sing, she reminds me to Karise. If you watched last season, Karise was very shy yet a beast when she sang. That's exactly what I feel when I see Miss Murphy. She's such a phenomenal singer, even with this so-so song, she manages to give us an outstanding performance. I really like Luke but Miss Murphy is one of a kind. As Ricky always says, magnificent!

"Candle In The Night" - 10/10 - She wrote this song a while ago. "I wrote my song two and a half years ago and the song is for a special someone. My candle in the night would definitely have to be Hugo, my brother" she says. She thinks of this song as him being her candle, her strength, and their love being the flame. I'm definitely blown away by this. All her performances have been gorgeous but this was on another level. It's the best she's sounded, actually, it's the best performance this season. Stunning lyrics, enchanting vocals, lovely melody. It has everything a great song needs. Words can't describe how I feel about this song, it's perfect. Just perfect. "Congratulations, you did great tonight. At first, I was kinda hating on Hugo but then I was listening to your song and I was thinking to myself, 'Hugo must be a special guy to have you write a song like that' so good on you Hugo" (Joel)
