SPINNERS AND GRINNERS
Cath Adams, 31 :: Cath is a country girl from Eugowra in western NSW, and is just adorable. She surprises everyone (seriously, even B jumped in our lounge room) by belting out Beyonce's Work It Out. Jessie & Delta love it so much that they get Cath to do an encore performance whilst they bust out their white girl moves. Quote of the night goes to Delta, who owns her outing as "the most un-rhythmic white woman in Australia." Thanks a lot, Wayans brother. Despite her awesome moves, Delta is unable to win Cath's vote and she joins Team Jessie.
Ollie Kirk, 19 :: Ollie attended my high school, ergo, he's obviously a super awesome cool dude. He is auditioning for his friend Min, who passed away from a stroke last year. God, that's awful. Way too young. Ollie performs Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, prompting the Mad Bros, Delta & Jessie to spin in the final seconds of his performance. Despite walking into the auditions hoping to end up on Team Madden, Ollie is won over by Jessie J. She's a persuasive little minx that one.
Aviida, 38 & 28 :: Married duo Aviida contains a familiar face - wife Paula competed in Season One, getting knocked out at the Battle round against eventual winner Karise Eden. They perform a cracking version of Adele's One And Only, getting Delta and the Mad Bros to turn their chairs. As convincing as Benji's stuttering pitch was (seriously, I felt bad for the poor guy), husband Clay lives by the creed "happy wife, happy life" and they choose Delta.
Scott Newnham, 26 :: HELLO TOPKNOT. I don't know why it was that this hairdo transitioned from weird to weirdly attractive...but I'm kind of on board with it... Anyway, ahem. Scott is a "male revue performer" (read: stripper). He pulls off Red by Daniel Merriweather, but alas, no clothes. Ricky, Delta and the Mad Bros battle it out to be his coach, each coach standing up, yelling over the top of the others and slowly inching towards the stage, but in the end, Ricky's passion persuades Stripper Scott.
"Male revue, hey?"
Lyndall Wennekes, 19 :: Dance & acrobatics teacher Lyndall impressed Delta and the Mad Bros with Kelly Clarkson's Beautiful Disaster. This results in a bit of a heated stoush between Delta and the boys, as they try to convince Lyndall that she would be better off with them, rather than competing with all the "big voices" that flock to Team Delta. Delta furiously denies this claim, but it doesn't matter, since Lyndall chooses her anyway. This then leads to more bickering between the brothers, as a fuming Joel believes that Benji blew their chance. Time out boys!
Amber Nichols, 32 :: Pregnant mother of one Amber is chasing her dreams, to show her babies that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. I love her already! She performs London Grammar's Strong, impressing all of our coaches and becoming the first contestant tonight to turn all four chairs. All the coaches pitch hard for Amber, but in the biggest surprise tonight, she choose the Maddens, meaning they FINALLY have an artist on the board.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, KID
Almaryse Burton, 40 :: Kids party DJ Almaryse pulled out karaoke classic Groove Is In The Heart by Dee-Lite. She might smash it out on SingStar but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make anyone turn their chairs. I like her individuality though. Nice neck ruff.
Glenn Philp, 38 :: Firefighter and father of four Glenn belted out pub classic Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry, albeit in too low a key. At least his kids looked happy afterwards - it kills me when kiddies cry because Mummy or Daddy didn't make it through.
THE TL;DR VERSION...
Good singers, hot stripper, brothers bicker, and plenty of bump 'n' grind. Bring on Episode 3!
