Fame Academy - Audley is first out


Audley Anderson, 31, is out of Fame Academy tonight (Saturday 9 August) after only three days in the Academy.


Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty introduced sizzling performances from all 13 students live on 大象传媒 ONE before inviting viewers to vote for their favourites.


The viewers' vote saved ten students leaving Louise, Audley and Gary with their fate undecided.


Panellists Robin Gibb, Richard Park (Head Teacher) and Carrie & David Grant (vocal coaches) voted to save Louise Griffiths, 26, from Herts, who sang Touch Me In The Morning.


The final choice was left to the students and in a nervous live vote Gary Phelan, 21, from Newcastle, retained his Academy place after singing Summer In The City.


Audley, from Surrey, who tonight sang My Girl, qualified in a live heat on Wednesday 30 July thanks to the vote from his peers, but tonight he lost his Academy place by just three votes.


Afterwards, Audley said: "I definitely got on with Peter and Barry. I was close to James - although I drove him nuts singing My Girl all the time. Alex is a little cutie.


"Louise is surprisingly beautiful in personality as well as looks.


"Carolynne is stunning all the time, even in the morning. All the girls are beautiful - although I'd have to stay away from Louise or Jenson will run me over!


"When they start writing together that's when I predict romance - when they start opening up together and letting people in to their inner sense.


"Paris could be seen as arrogant but he's just got a wealth of confidence. If you're with him you just think there isn't a thing you can't do. He trains his voice so hard - you can just imagine bar-bells in his throat.


"Nobody irritated me, but I had a very similar personality to Barry. Paris beat my left arm in an arm wrestle - so I'd have to come back from that.


"I got on really well with Paris, he helped me vocally. He pushed me to improve...I would have to say Paris will win - his vocal control is beyond belief. We had great singing sessions.


"I felt the pressure today. I wasn't the Audley I wanted to be. I could see the disappointment in Carrie and David's faces and I wanted the earth to swallow me up.


"Carrie and David want us to excel. You have to unlearn what you have learnt in your life and not to sing the song the way you've sung it in the clubs for years. I knew what I had to do.


"I crumbled in rehearsals, all the stuff Carrie had taught me was there but then there were the cameras and everything else - I just crumbled. You just don't realise what's involved. I would have got it, with a little longer in the Academy.


"The future looks bright, I'm very excited. I'm going to miss the guys like crazy and I'm disappointed because I could have had a better performance, but now I just want to make David and Carrie proud of me. They are both honest and want the best for all of us. I want them to look back and say we knew he was a star.


"I feel disappointed. The guys are brilliant - the whole experience is brilliant. I loved the food, it was amazing - I'm going to really miss it!"


The 12 surviving students return to the Academy and will all sing live again on 大象传媒 ONE on Wednesday 13 August at 8.00pm when another student has to leave.
