Hello. Rachael Hawnt, take one.
I don't want to tell you how old I am.
# If I could turn back time... #
I sing at weddings, I sing at birthday parties, all sorts.
OK, what do we want now? Yeah... I want a big old ballad.
..I want something soulful. Do you want a ballad? Yeah.
I got into music quite young.
I've, you know, really walked the boards.
Many years of doing pubs, getting changed in the toilets,
singing in front of the dart board.
Sometimes it's maybe just 10 or 12 people.
Ah! Rachael, you're up next, do you want to come through?
My voice is like my hair.
It's big!
I'd love the 100 to stand up.
I'll give it my best shot and we'll see what they think.
Fingers crossed they like it.
Wow. That is some hair!
Oh, and the...
Wow. K.
Massive hair.
Hiya, my name is Rachael,
I'm from Portsmouth and I'm chuffed to be here.
Chuffed? I've not heard chuffed for years.
She looks like Cher.
Ah! Something tells me she's going to be a diva.
If she beats 62, Georgia is out the competition.
# This is the end... #
Ooh, wow.
# So hold your breath and count to ten
# We'll feel the earth move and then
# You'll hear my heart burst
# Again
# Let the sky fall... #
Ooh, hello.
# When it crumbles... # Wow!
# We will stand tall
# And face it all together
# At skyfall... #
Oh! Ah!
# Of your loving arms
# Keeping me from harm
# Put your hand... # Only a few up, though.
# In my hand and we'll stand
# Let the sky fall
# When it crumbles... #
I'm liking it.
# We will stand tall
# And face it all together
# Let the sky fall
# When it crumbles
# We can stand tall... #
Oh, a few more are getting up now.
It's getting close. # And face it all together
# At sky fall
# Oh-oh-oh
# Oh-oh-oh, ooh
# Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you!
# Do you believe in life after love? #
Oh! Oh, my! # I can feel something
# Inside me say
# I really don't think you're strong enough... #
Wow, Rachael! That was amazing. 66!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You took second place with that performance. I'm up here.
Oh, my God! Hello, love! You was chuffed before.
How are you feeling now? I was chuffed, and now I'm even bigger chuffed!
Double chuffed! Yeah!
You're double chuffed, ain't you, Rachael? LAUGHTER
Portia, you enjoyed that? I really enjoyed it.
Your hair looks amazing.
And I was thinking, "I hope the voice lives up to the hair."
And, you know, when your voice opened up,
it was round, it was rich,
and I would love to hear a little bit more.
Thank you very much, Portia. Thank you.
Harmesh, you are a performing arts teacher.
I am indeed, yes. And you stood up and enjoyed that.
Yeah. Rachael, you smashed that, you did.
I absolutely loved the fact that you didn't copy Adele's performance.
You made it your own... You couldn't do it as good.
..in terms of phrasing, musicality, vocal tone.
Just awesome. Absolutely loved it. Well done.
Thank you so much.
