The second semi-final for Senior Superstar saw a packed audience of over 400 people crammed into Souths Acacia Sports Club to see who would be the five finalists to earn a place in the Grand Final.
13 acts kept the audience captivated with a range of acts including singing, bush poetry and dancing.
The first finalist was Michael Burke. Michael sung a song from Scotland written in the 1700′s called “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose”.
Zenaida Thornton sung the hit “When You’re Good to Mama” from the musical Chicago complete with feather and a belting voice.
Another act that chose a musical song was Max Johnson. Dressed in an amazing coat Max had the audience singing along to his rendition of “Any Dream Will Do” from Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat.
Linda Lee had the crowd rocking with her high-energy performance of “Rockabilly Rebel”.
The final judges choice was Bill Healy. Bill appeared as a dapper auctioneer at the Coorparoo heat. However, he changed appearance altogether with his performance of the Johnny Cash hit “Boy Called Sue”.
The People’s Choice went to Herbet Shapcott and Sonya Graham. Herb proved that at 83 you’re never too old to rock and roll as he and Sonya danced their way into the audience’s hearts.
We look forward to seeing these fantastic acts at the Senior Superstar Grand Final on Saturday 21 August.
