It was a full house the second quarter final of the Wakefield Star Search at Westgate Common Club in Wakefield;
Jonathan Carroll opened up the show with a Lionel Richie song, ‘All Night Long’.
There were five contestants hoping for a place in the semi finals, the first was Batley girl Jade Helliwell. Jade looked good in a red dress over black leggings.A couple of hers songs were, ‘Left Outside Alone, Perfect and one of her own
compositions (in which she accompanied herself on guitar) called, ‘Would You’. I really enjoyed that one.
Next was two boy duo from Leeds, ‘Destination Unknown’; they appeared dressed as the
Blues Brothers and sang, ‘Someone To Love’, another of their songs was an up tempo version of the Everly Brothers, ‘All I Have To Do Is Dream’. Good spot guys. Closing the first half was soprano Leslie Carr from Middlestown looking lovely in a dress. I have always thought
that Leslie would be a success in musical theatre. Tonight she sang, ‘Tonight’
and a superb rendition of, ‘The Music Of The Night’. ‘Dance With My Father’ was Jonathan’s opening song in part two. He introduced Manchester girl Danielle Hobson, wow, what a voice. Danielle was wearing a short black and white dress adorned with
silver glitter and a black belt festooned with silver studs. Danielle sang, ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and ‘The Climb’ in her set.
The final act was Hull man Dean Moon
who was dressed in a smart suit; Dean has a strong voices and sang in his set,’
Mental As anything’ and ‘The Answer’.Dean has a wicked sense of humour in his
act, I liked the one about his grandmother, well you see..... no, wait until you see his act.
The judges decided to send Danielle Hobson, Destination Unknown and Jade Helliwell through to the semi finals...
