Despite one of her better performances this week, when she sang Michael Jackson’s Earth Song, it was curtains for Umhlanga’s Jess Yallup as she was voted off Idols on Sunday night.
The bottom three this week were Jess and Pieter West, who were both in the bottom three for the third time, and blonde beauty Adeline Mocke (second time in the bottom three).
Most radio listeners around the country seemed to think Jess would be safe this week, only Darren “Whackhead” Simpson’s listeners on 94.7 Highveld Stereo correctly predicted she would lose out.
Jess has gathered plenty support in this series (her second attempt to win the competition) and has been particularly active on social networking forums, her official group on Facebook picking up 2 433 members at last count.
