The REZ Factor - Heat 6
Thursday 10th March 2011
On a cold, windy night in Whitby at The Resolution we had
heat 6 of The Rez Factor which wasn't a bad night with a
total of seven people entering the competition.
Singing first was Christine who this week had a go at "Close To You" by The Carpenters. Even tho she was clearly suffering from a cold, she managed to perform a reasonably good rendition of this song.
Next up was Amanda who tried her luck this week with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. Amanda has quite a powerful voice and performed this song to the best of her ability. It was good enough to earn her joint 3rd place on the night.
The third singer was Debbie who stuck to what she knows best and sang "Walk On Water" by Milk Inc. for the second week running. She sang it very well, hitting all the high notes and as she finished received a good round of applause by the audience.
The next singer was Helen who sang "A Little Respect" by Erasure. The pensioner sang it very well and crisp and had some people dancing along in the room. She received a nice round of applause.
The fifth singer was Whitby legend Karaoke Kris who this week, yet again, tried to win with "Mandy" by Westlife. Performed, as always, in his own unique style, Kris didn't disappoint his faithful followers with an emphatic version of this powerful ballad. Still, it just wasn't enough as he lost out by a single vote into 2nd place on the night.
The penultimate singer was Kassy who again tried her luck with "The Rose" by Bette Midler. Kassy, also suffering from cold, still managed to perform the song very well and this was good enough for her to gain joint 3rd place, thanks to two late votes!
And finally we had John who entered again this week but this time had a go at "Follow Me" by Uncle Cracker. It was a good, solid performance by him and he did receive a good round of applause.
So that was it. We'd heard all the singers and the votes went out to the anticipating public. I predicted, before the votes were counted, that it would close in the nights votes and this proved to be correct as there was only 1 vote between 3rd and 2nd and only 1 vote between 2nd and 1st who this week was....
Debbie Rogers !!
A shocked Debbie came up to accept her 7 free drinks and confirmed that she'd be ok for the final on April 21st.
See you next week for some more Rez Factor !!
