What a shame….not! Angellica is a lovely girl, but a singer she is not.
Tonight BBC presenter Angellica Bell found herself in the bottom three acts for the THIRD time. After performing their song for a second time Ray Stubbs, Colin Murray and Angelica Bell faced the judges. Each judge chose a different contestant but Richard Parks vote carried and he saved Richard Parks. The students gave Angelica and Colin two votes each, so the decision went back to the public vote. Colin polled the highest and so he has remained in the Fame Academy and is one step closer to the final. Here’s hoping he has a better song tomorrow night!
