The
13 contestants in this year's Fame Academy have been confirmed
after the final heat of auditions live on 大象传媒 One on Wednesday
6th.
The
last six performances included 19 year old Alex Parks from
Mount Hawke in Cornwall, who gave a really personal rendition
of "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.
Alex
was the last person to sing on the live programme, which only
made it more nerve-wracking as she had to listen to the confidence
crushing remarks from the judges and had to contend with tonsillitis.
Despite
being ill, headmaster, Richard Park dragged his flue ridden
carcass out of his sick bed and into the studio to dish up
more soul destroying comments. Every other performance had
been very heavily criticised by him and a few times he had
to be stopped by presenter Patrick Keilty!
But
Alex's nerves were not necessary as she received the most
compliments from the judges. Academy vocal coach David Grant
said "Alex has more mystery than anyone I've seen performing
in these qualifying heats, because I want to know, as an artist-what
does she think? I think she's fantastic!"
 What
a great version of Christina Aguilera's hit. I think that
was tremendous. |

And
even more astounding was the praise offered by Richard Park:
