Just as I was getting to know her a lil better (hey we shared a box of 'Wheatables' last weekend and she told me loads about everything), she had to go :(
I haven't watched tonight's show so I don't know how she did, but I did hear from Justin that the girls weren't 100% tonight. I later heard from Ann Hussein that everyone was SPOT ON during rehearsals, and she thought 'OMG its gonna be an amazing show', and it was such a pity that they didn't do as well during the Live show - nerves I guess. Never underestimate the debilitating power of nerves.
Imo, Amira has been improving week on week. Her vocals were shaky at the beginning, but after last week's MJ performance, I thought she would have it in the bag this week. Plus, I heard her rehearsing tonight's song over the weekend (although not quick enough to whip my phone into vid mode to capture it!), it was full-on phwoar!
Sigh, am gonna miss that lil cilipadi - she was so random. Dazed one minute - opinionated the next.
Here's Amira's exit song and exit interview for IDOL TV. I shall call my vid 'The B-roll' from now on - you know, like the extra side profile camera MTV shows always have - just so editors have another perspective when they put the show together :).
After singing the song, she came off stage and was smiley, but there were tears in her eyes. :( But by the time she reached the green room for her exit interview - she was bac to the strong and positive Amira!
Thanks Amira for sharing with us your Idol journey, keep at it babe! The Idol family will always be behind you :)
Don't forget to catch Amira's radio interview tomorrow morning, 9am on Idol's Official Radio Station, 987FM with Dan & Young.
Next post - what the Top 8 will be singing next week on Mambo Mania ....
xoxo, s.
