A Star is Born!
13 Dec 08
When Alexandra sang Joe Cocker’s You Are So Beautiful earlier in the series Simon and the rest of the judges ran out of superlatives to describe her performance.
And now tonight the pressure was really on for the north London gal to produce the goods again.
Looking demure and controlled she took to the stage and started to sing the song that she has sung many times before… but this time it mattered like never before.
No act in the final three can command the stage so emphatically as Alexandra when she is on top form, and as she worked her way through the early verses to the crashing crescendo, a wave of excitement swept through the studio as she hit her final note.
The fans that had gathered to support her in north London screamed their appreciation and the studio audience congratulated her with a rousing standing ovation.
“You look like a superstar,” shouted Louis over the noise of the crowd: “You were fantastic!”
Dannii loved Alexandra’s performance: “You really picked up on the passion in that song,” she said: “You took my breath away!”
Simon delivered the best response of the night announcing to the room: “I’m going to predict tonight a star has been born! I felt something really special from you!”
With tears in her eyes Cheryl thanked the public for keeping Alex in the competition for so long, before looking at her girl and saying: “Thank you Alexandra, you have made this the most special night of my life.”
After three amazing performances has Alexandra done enough to secure your vote?
