The crowds swelled to see the amazing array of talent, which was Grand Final material and of such a high standard that points for the finalists were judged only by half point. There were only five places for the Grand Final and this was to prove a very tight decision. 480 people crammed into the Broncos to see who would be chosen.
Barbara Gaygan’s version of the Madame Butterfly song “One Fine Day” scored her a place in the final.
First time entrant, Dawn Moore captivated the crowd with her dazzling performance of “Cry Me A River”.
Joy Darmody had her tassels in overdrive as she presented “You’ve Got To Have a Gimmick”from the musical Gypsy .
Jim Ryan brought out the big guns when he nailed “New York, New York”
The Get Rhythm Dance Team was in fantastic formation as they kicked off their entry to the final with an aquatic medley titled “Symphony of The Seas”.

For the first time ever there was a tie for People’s Choice. Senior Superstar favourite Barbara Tyrrell performed the theme from Love Story made it through as did Jim Hodgson who sung “Try a Tenderness”. These two crowd favourites will go through to the Grand Final.
