1. Reading Top Song: the final
Last night’s highlight was the final of Top Song. This week the contestants sung a disco song and a slow ballad. Lil sang first. She was very nervous and her singing was really quiet. Then, when she was singing her second song, she suddenly forgot the words. But Lil is a determined woman and she started the song again. The judges loved it and said very positive things, but the audience seemed less enthusiastic. Simon was the next contestant. Simon was teaching when his students told him about Top Song, and he decided to enter! He was in the bottom three last week, but lots of viewers voted for him. Last night the situation was incredibly stressful and he didn’t sing well. But he thanked the judges and tried to smile. His students and friends cheered loudly. The final contestant was Erika. Erika complained last week because she thought the judges were really strict. She was feeling a bit lonely and wanted to visit her family, but the judges didn’t allow her to go. Her disco song wasn’t particularly good, but her slow ballad was fantastic. The judges didn’t seem sure, though!
