TOP SONG: THE FINAL
Channel 5 Tuesday 8 p.m.
Last night’s highlight was the final of Top Song. This week the
final three contestants had to sing a disco song and a slow ballad.
Lil was very nervous and she forgot the words. But Lil is a
determined woman and she started the song again. The judges
loved it and said very positive things.
Simon was the next contestant. Simon was working as a teacher
when he saw the first series of Top Song. He was in the bottom
three last week, but the viewers voted for him. Last night he didn’t
sing very well.
The final contestant was Erika. Erika complained last week
because she thought the judges were really strict. She was feeling a
bit lonely and wanted to visit her family, but the judges didn’t
allow her to go. Her disco song was OK, but her slow ballad was
fantastic.
