I do musical theatre, so I am used to being on stage.
I'm normally in the chorus with my other cast members,
but being on my own, it's something that I've always wanted to do
and this has actually been an opportunity for me to do that,
and it has been amazing.
She's sensational.
She's one of those singers, if you heard her singing,
you'd say that's that Bernadette.
There's something unique about her voice.
I was very happy to get 84 on my first song and I did
the sing-off and got the highest score of the night in the end.
This is so weird.
CHEERING
# Oh, yeah. #
99.
Paulus! What? You're the only one.
I can't believe that no-one's got 100 yet,
and I'm the one closest to that.
So I want to get that 100 now.
I need to. One seat away.
Here comes the next finalist, Bernadette.
If she can score more than 21, Britt will be out of the competition.
It's not everyone that can wear raspberry.
It feels so amazing to be back again in the final.
I can't believe I got here.
I got 99 in my sing-off.
I'm just hoping I can get you all up on your feet again.
That was directed at you. Yeah, I know.
# Never meant to cause you any sorrow
# Never meant to cause you any pain
# I only wanted one time to see you laughing
# I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
# Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
# It's how we'll reach out for something new
# That means you to
# Yeah
# You say you won a leader
# But you can't seem to make up your mind
# I think you better close it
# And let me guide you to the purple rain
# Purple rain, purple rain... # Geri's up!
# Purple rain, purple rain
# I only want to see you, baby, in the purple rain. #
CHEERING
She gave me goose bumps.
96. Amazing.
Bernadette, you got 96. You take the top spot!
Wow, that was incredible. I'm feeling very emotional, actually.
I'm shaking.
I'll shuffle down here.
Jordan.
First of all, thank you.
The second you started singing, this hush fell over the room,
and to have that power, I hope you understand it and I hope you hold it
and whatever happens today, take that with you. You were incredible.
I really will. Thank you so much.
Are you all right? I don't know.
That really connected with you. Hold me. I'll hold you.
Thank you very much.
Geri.
You just gave a masterclass in All Together Now. OK.
You've got an amazing voice. You picked an amazing song.
But you did the hardest thing - you connected us.
We were in the moment with you. Well done.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Paulus, again, you didn't stand up.
AUDIENCE BOO What has Bernadette got to do?
It's not you, it's me, Bernadette.
Oh, OK. Thank you. Are you tired? No, I'm not tired, I'm picky.
OK, so it started tremendously well.
But the longer it went on,
the more the riffs took over from the storytelling.
You wanted to know why the rain is purple? You wanted an ending.
You wanted closure on the song, that's what you wanted.
If that could be unpacked, that would be great. OK, fair enough.
Bernadette, what do you think? Did you think there were too many riffs?
No, I get that feedback. Yeah, I understand that. Fair enough.
Thank you, Bernadette. Thank you.
Well, 96 people loved it,
which means you take the top spot. Well done.
Wow, thank you.
