40 minutes to go... who will be going through to the Top 10? Going by our poll, Keshia Paulse, Steven Broad and Frank Andrews going through with Marcel with an outside chance. But will our poll be right? Everyone looks lovely but nervous. "Dr Evil", Mr Paul Ellis? Will that be his nickname? Frank is sure who'll go through but he doesn't reveal them yet. The judges make their picks and agree with the Idolblog poll! Hmm, maybe they stopped by here today! Who's in the Top 4? Steven, Keshia, Marcel, Frank Who's going home? Pip, Kevin, Katherine Ad break.. if Christine doesn't go through to the Top 4, she won't have improved from last year. Frank and Christine are the last two - both from Rotorua. Christine looks so nervous... yup, we were right, Frank is through to the Top 4! Who's going into the finals?
- Steven, the first South Islander!
- Keshia
Will Marcel or Frank join them? Frank goes through! Once again, the Idolblog polls have correctly predicted the show results!

It's not really rational to say Christine hadn't improved, just because she didn't get through.
I didn't mean by her voice/performance, I meant in her placing... sorry for the confusion.
I picked those three...although I must say it wasnt that hard!!
lol same here Bex, Marcel will be the wild card i reckon.
NO way! Thats exacerly what I said to mum, this morning!
*sulks.*
Yay!! My favourite three!!!
Oh gutted, just like I thought "if Steven makes it then Marcel won't....."
DAMN. Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.....
Congrats guys!
Steven needs a few outside votes... theres not that many people in Invercargill...
thats what everyone said about tim from dancing with the stars, look where he came . . . . .
i just voted for kevin 6 times...from work....i hope they dont see the bill!!
even though he didnt perform well last night, i know he has it in him to do it well next time...so fingers crossed!!
GO KEVIN!
*blondely* Does it start at 8?
Yup.
Oh.
You see, I never got to watch it last year coz it was during Guides so I never bothered learning what time it was.
But at least I get more time to rip mp3s.
My Top 3 are:
Keshia
Marcel
Frank
I thought Jackie was right about Pip, shes too young to do that song properly even though it was stuck in our heads all the way to and back from Wendys last night.
Keshia will get through!
