All about Me: Circle of Fear becomes Ring of fire

Fame Academy certainly hotted up for Colin last night as he sang his old favourite - The Johnny Cash classic Ring of fire.

The performance was absolutely amazing. Colin has trouble getting to the lower noted but when he dos, his lower range is gorgeous. There is real improvement on his voice and the attention to technique was really evident. All this breathe and support stuff that Griffin has always dismissed really does work you know.

It was a bit manic here as we were trying to watch the show and listen to the match on Radio Derby at the same time. I hate having divided loyalties but unfortunately I don't have the power to pick up the phone and help Derby win like I have the power to pick up the phone and vote to save Murray.

I was so chuffed when he finished that it didn't matter what the judges said because I (and anyone out there watching) knew he had nailed it well and truly. I wished that I could have been able to record it as I want to listen again and again.

The results show was only half an hour to wait and luckily came at half time.
It was excruciating though. Of course there was more chance that Colin would be in the bottom as there was only 6 students left.
With Colin Tara and Angellica in the bottom 3 I was sure the judges would save Tara and the students would save Angellica and Colin would be on his way back to Radio 1.
I was right about Tara, the judges love her for some reason. So to the students. With 4 left the vote could go either way. Then as they step up to make their choice it ends up with 2 votes each.
Then it was back to the public vote and luckily Colin has more supporters than Angellica so it was finally Bye Bye to the CBBC presenter who made even my cats feel ill with her caterwauling.

So Colin is back along with Tricia, Shaun, Ray and Tara to fight another day.
Last night was lovely too as after the show they had a visit from Jamie Cullum and they just jammed around the piano...It was like going back to the days of Griffin and Fox.
