The REZ Factor - Heat 3
Thursday 21st January 2010
So heat 3 has now been and gone and it was a very good and busy night in The Resolution and it attracted seven entrants in total.
Taking to the microphone 1st was Karaoke Kris, who this week decided to try the Bob Marley song "No Woman, No Cry". Kris has performed this song countless times but somehow he hasn't managed to master it. He received a rather generous round of applause.
Singing next and his first time in the competition was Peter who sang "Strangers In The Night" by Frank Sinatra. This is one of Peter's favourite Sinatra tunes and he sang it very well and received a good reception from the audience as he finished.
Singing 3rd was local girl Crystal, who chose to sing "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. Crystal has a very unique voice and this came across very well in her performance. She received a nice round of applause and it was rewarded by gaining 3rd place on the night.
Singing 4th was Alan who was back again this week and sang The Mavericks classic "Dance The Night Away". Alan mentioned to me, as the song started, that he can't stand this song! But he sang it very well and pleased the crowd enough to give him a very warm round of applause.
The next singer was Azre-Al who tried his luck again this week with the Elvis Presley song "Don't". He sang in his own style, as always, and moving about a lot. At one point i thought he was going to go to the bar for a drink! Nevertheless, he never got placed, again.
The 6th singer was Swilley who sang the Shaggy tune 'Angel'. Swilley really seemed to get down to the beat of the song, especially in the rapping bits, and showed a few good moves much to the delight of some of the female audience. He received very loud whoops and cheers as he finished.
And the final person to sing was Emma, who entered the competition for the fist time with "Hero" by Mariah Carey. Emma sang this extremely well and received a good cheer and applause from the audience. It was good enough for her to earn 2nd place.
With the biggest audience of the competition so far, it took a while for all the votes to be given out and then counted. But in the end there could only be one winner, who this week was Swilley !
He received his seven free pints and of course a place in the Grand Final on 1st April 2010.
See you all again next week for some more
REZ FACTOR !
