Popstars: The Rivals on 30th November
Six girls were singing for survival on the Saturday show - Nadine, Kimberley, Nicola, Sarah, Cheryl and Javine. One would be voted off later in the evening - and the surviving five will form the girl band managed by Louis Walsh. The Sun had reported that the band would be called Girls Allowed. First up was Sarah with Holding Out For a Hero. Pete said: "She gave it 140%. 100% was good enough for me. Brilliant singing." Geri said: "I'd definitely put you in the band." Louis said: "I think she's fantastic but what people at home don't know is that she was sick today." Nadine's song was I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Geri said: "It's a bit ironic that she picked that song because she doesn't like dancing very much." Louis said: "You know I like her. I think she's fantastic." Pete admitted he was not as good a dancer as Nadine and added: "She shone throughout the competition." Kimberley sang Chain Reaction. Louis said: "I thought she did a fantastic performance. Well done Kimberley." Geri said:"I think that Kimberley has taken a huge about of rap this week in the press. They got it wrong. They said she was a diva." Louis added: "We've got no divas in the band." Nicola was up next with I'm So Excited. Pete said: "That's song's a really difficult song. She walked it." Geri said: "If we saw the beginning of the series we'd see how far Nicola has progressed. But I think you're dressing too old for 17." Louis said: "I think she's getting better and better all the time and I like it when she smiles. I'm glad she got a second chance." Javine sang I'm Every Woman. Afterwards she said she was nervous. Geri said: "A bit of nerves is good. It gives you that little bit of juice." Louis said:" I think she's a great performer and she has to make the band." Pete said: "There's nothing I can say. It's a wonder you ever got nervous." The last girl to sing was Cheryl with Right Here Waiting. Davina asked her why she shook her head - her head had only moved slightly at the end of her performance. The judges all then implied that Cheryl gave a weak performance by not commenting on it. Louis said: "Cheryl said to me you have to have a Geordie in the band. I want this Geordie in the band and I want all the Geordies to vote for her because that's the only way she's going to get in." Geri said: "I think she's gorgeous, very photogenic and so emotional." Pete said: "I think this is one of the nicest kids in the competition and I felt for her tonight." After the break, Davina said that the first member of the band was Cheryl. You have never seen anyone so emotional. Davina said: "Something tells me you weren't expecting to be announced first." The next girl in was Nicola. Third was Nadine. Fourth was Kimberley. That left Sarah and Javine. Louis said: "I was surprised that Cheryl got through." Geri said: "These two girls gave the strongest performance this evening." Pete said: "A hell of a way to finish the series." After a break Davina announced that the fifth member of the band was Sarah. Javine was left out. The super-cool Javine showed almost no emotion before she sang I'm Every Woman again. Davina then said the band would be called Girls Aloud - not Girls Allowed. |
