Nevertheless,Carl Riseley took the stage looking very dapper in an undone bow tie as he swung into"Me And Mrs. Jones".
"A lot of ladies really got off on that lyric," Mark told him, apparently deeply in touch with his feminine side. "I was expecting you to exceed expectations. For me you just met expectations."
Dicko disagreed. "I was really concerned when I heard you were doing a ballad," he said. "I disagree with him [Mark]. I thought it was fantastic."
Cooed Marcia, "I thought it was very romantic".
Despite his earlier comment Kyle was also impressed. "I thought you were perfectly placed. There's nothing bad I can say about that."

Marty Simpson – in a suit shirt and jacket! – performed his big band version of the Dave Matthews Band's "American Baby".
"This is you very much a fish-out-of-water," Dicko said. "It was basically uncomfortable to watch – through and through you were strangely engaging. I don't know why but I loved it."
Reasoned Marcia, "At least you're trying."
Added a scowling Kyle, "To me that was ridiculous. You should never have been asked to do anything like that."

Matt Corby takes on "How Sweet It Is", while displaying his new quaffed hairdo.
"Now see, that's what I'm talking ‘bout!" Marcia cheered.
Fashion police officer Kyle admitted he was worried about the new do – "What has he done to his hair?" – but was happy about the performance. "You're a superstar, I love you."
Said Mark, "The hair is kind of like a Hasidic Elvis", adding: "You're showing your versatility, you're showing you are having fun."
"What a difference a week makes," Dicko said, referring to Matt's tepid mood last week. "To see you step out here and show real star quality was fantastic."

Wham! Bam! Natalie Gauci performed "Orange Colored Sky" – but her dress was all Kyle was interested in.
"I actually think that song suits you," he said, "but you have clotherexia. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Outfit: disgusting."
"I'm digging you so much," offered Mark, while Dicko announced, "that was showbiz, that was naughty, that was sexy!"
"It's just so good to see a female fronting a big band," pipped Marcia.

For his second song, Carl sang Harry Connick Jr's "Just Kiss Me" and the band joined in with amusing shouted responses.
"You've given us some great Idol moments," Dicko told him.
"I really liked it," said Marcia, "and the audience really loved it too."
Said Kyle, "I think the band let you down with the pathetic acting, but they're not here to act, they're here to blow. And blow they did."

Marty returned to the stage with The Doors' classic "Light My Fire".
"To say you haven't really entered into the spirit of Big Band is an understatement," Dicko fired, unhappy with Marty's song choices and calling the performance "laboured and largely pointless".
Kyle was more sympathetic. "That's you to me," he said. "You've created a new genre. You dragged Big Band to rehab."
Mark less so. "It's like trying to light a fire with a wet match."

Matt next took on "Beyond The Sea".
Kyle was worried about him. Again. "You looked a little disappointed at the end," he suggested, but told him; "You're a chameleon and you morph into whatever you need to be."
"I didn't think this would be your night," said Dicko. "But you delivered two great songs."

Natalie stunned the audience with Ella Fitzgerald's "How High The Moon".
"I couldn't understand a word of it," Kyle said, referring to Nat's scatting. "But I loved every minute of it."
Mark was blown away. "There's only one girl left in the competition," he said. "This girl is worth keeping in the competition all the way to the Opera House. Touchdown!"
Dicko proclaimed, "I've always been fond of you, but tonight I think you revealed a major star."
Added Marcia, "The best thing about that performance is it was totally fearless. Well done Darlin'!"

But as for who will make the top three – and it could be any of our brilliant performers – that's up to you. So get calling!
