Wow...no Zoelah. I didn't hear any of the performances but i'm a little surprised because she does have some singing talent and she has a good voice. Must be that she's a little green on stage still.
I've said from jump that Kerwin Dubois will be doing big things with those two impressive tunes that he has and so if he performs well I see him contending for the groovy title but Shurwayne will have to be the favourite here. The Power Title going to back to Bunji.

I think Shurwayne in the Groovy and Blaxx in the Power. But I think Nadia could surprise people. I know a lot of people think Bunji will win again, but he must lose points for singing a remake.

No way. I've never seen her in a live performance but just from what I saw of her when she was featured on jump tv about a week ago...the girl has poise for days and she not at all shy in front a camera or audience...she performed two songs for the lil studio audience and you could tell she have no prob in front a live crowd. The only thing everybody commented on is that she should lose that lil midsection she have -a lil 10-15 lbs and she'd be on fire.
