After an opening week packed with outstanding talent Australian X Factor could be forgiven for being unable to keep up the pace into it's second week. Monday night's show seemed to confirm it with several 'good' performances but nothing that blew us away. However, last night's episode definitely put to rest any fears that we'd seen all that the competition had to offer us.
The first act to elicit that "they've got something" response was boy band Fourtunate.
Having reached bootcamp last year the past 12 months clearly hasn't been wasted, as shown by a YouTube channel packed full of treats like this a capella Marvin Gaye & Jay Sean mashup:
The second act to show they had hod something special to offer was singing a song that has suffered terribly at the hands of auditionees in the past, Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You".
Somehow 17 year old Sarah Main managed to do the impossible, not only managing to perform the song without invoking a "nails on a chalkboard" reaction when aiming for the infamous high note, but also reminding us that despite all the botched renditions we've heard over the years, the original is actually a great song.
