Week Seven
...Haydun was voted off by the UK phone-in leaving Michelle, Peter and Tony.
With three contestants left the shows rules were changed slightly. The show in New York was the penultimate and it was decided to cancel the planned UK weekly phone vote to choose the second finalist, going to a straight knock out, using the local audience vote to eliminate their least popular. This meant that at the end of the show only two finalists remained, they will battle it out in a live TV special next week.
...so after a storming performance by each contestant it was Peter Cox who lost out.
Michelle, Peter and Tony Hadley performed for the local New York crowd. Surprisingly, it was Peter who gained the fewest votes. He had been a consistent favourite throughout the course of the show, winning the local US vote a total of three times. Bookmakers had given him impressive odds on winning before the outcome of the New York show.
However it was nerves on the night that meant he forgot several lines whilst performing Norah Jones' 'Don't Know Why', this was his downfall.
