SOUTHWOLD IDOL 2009

KINGS HEAD – SOUTHWOLD

 

Unfortunately there is no report from the heats for Southwold Idol but there is an extensive one for the final.

 

The Grand Final

 

11 out of the 12 acts that had qualified returned for the main event of Southwold Idol 2009 – The Grand Final

 

With a simply huge crowd on hand, the atmosphere was electric once again which is becoming common place at this venue.

 

With the public draw done, each act had to sing two songs back-to-back in a mini cabaret style set, with each act being marked on Presentation, Vocal Talent and Entertainment.

 

The songs and order of the acts were:

 

Heidi  

 

Black Velvet – Alana Miles

Somewhere Over The Rainbow – Eva Cassidy

 

Goldrush (4 piece female vocal harmony group)

 

Pokerface – Lady Gaga

Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley

 

Chrissy

 

Hallelujah – Alex Burke

Great Balls Of Fire – Jerry Lee Lewis

 

Jamie

 

Devil In Disguise – Elvis Presley

When You Believe – Leon Jackson

 

Double D (Dalton & Daryl)

 

Hound Dog – Elvis Presley

Reet Petite – Jackie Wilson

 

Claire/Stacey/Kylie

 

Ironic – Alanis Morrisette

Nancy

 

Your So Vain – Carly Simon

Son Of A Preacher Man – Dusty Springfield

 

Tom

 

Acquiescence – Oasis

Wonderwall – Oasis

 

Rhiane

I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

 

Mick

 

Suspicious Minds – Elvis Presley

Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond

 

Elaine

 

White Flag – Dido

Whats Up – 4 Non Blondes

 

The judges had a very hard job in deciding the top three as these top three will represent The Kings Head at Anglian Idol 2009 later this year. It took the judges a good 20 odd minutes to make a decision but eventually they returned with their verdict.

 

The top three were:

 

3rd – Elaine

2nd – Goldrush

1st – Nancy

 

Well done to the top three and they will represent the Kings Head at Anglian Idol 2009. Also an extended well done to all competitors from the heats and the final for taking part in this competition.

 

Big thank-you to the judges – Tracy, Cathy, John, Jane & Liz for doing the judges and doing a very hard job on the night.

 

Also a big thank-you to Jack and Trish for hosting another successful Southwold Idol 2009 competition.
