Hi, Rusty!

Sorry, I was rather slow on the uptake there!
Yes, I think it is having a London postcode that puts the prices up.

Boy, can she sing!

Hi, Rusty!
All finished for now!
And I misinformed you........the public had to vote for four (out of eight) of the contestants, not two, as I said previously.
So all in all, with the judges' four choices included, there will be eight singers in next week's Semi Finals.
It should be good.
Yes, I agree with you; Linda Ronstadt is a great singer.
I am still a Katie Melua fan most of all though!
