The judges had yet another costume change for night 2 of the battle rounds. Delta looked fierce in a navy sequined frock with severe shoulders, Joel had on a fine basketball singlet, Keith was perfect and Seal was almost wearing a shirt. I cannot believe the wardrobe people let him do 2 buttons up, for shame.
First up, team Keith. Stay at home Dad Cam Vs youth worker Taga -Cam was pretty cocky out of the blocks, he wrote Taga off as “weak”. Taga responded by being totally adorable. He smiled, pointed, clapped, wore a lovely pair of mustard slacks and charmed the crap out of everyone. The producers edited the package to look as though Cam had it in the bag, we all saw through that one. Taga had the goods and sang “If I could change the world” in such a joyful manner that Keith had no choice but to choose him.
Next Delta paired the Russian princess up against Jessica Rabbit aka Viktoria and Peta. These two were repeatedly called “intense” which I think was Delta’s code for cray cray. Viktoria, bless her, thought it poignant to point out how much older Peta was than her. Peta felt she WAS the song Delta had picked for them: Prince’s epic power ballad “Purple rain”. All’s I’m sayin’ is no one should be all up in Prince’s grill messing with his perfect song. Somewhere a small man of African/Caucasian descent and a penchant for Cuban heels is crying in a sexy, sexy room made of purple velvet. (Prince, I obviously am referring to Prince.) At one point when Viktoria was singing, Peta came up behind her and I thought … never mind, they gave what could only be described as an intensely intense performance. Both girls could sing, both looked smoking hot but in the end Delta went the girl most likely to wait for her in the car park after the show – Viktoria. (Smart Goodrem, smart.)
