Nadia Turner
Song: You Don't Have To Say You Love Me   (Dusty Springfield  ) 1966

So far in this contest Nadia Turner has made some wonderful song choices. She reckons that Dusty's 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' fits her like a glove, and as usual, she's right!

This lady really knows how to perform. Last week we saw her funk it up in her funky dress, tonight she delivers Dusty with elegance and poise. She enthralls both audience and the camera alike, and all it takes is a turn of the head, an outstretched arm, a look of pleasure or of pain. In Randy-speak 'she works it out'!

When Nadia sang 'My Love' during the semifinals, Randy told her "...you know that you probably don't have the absolute best voice."

Hey Randy, maybe she doesn't know that, because tonight she sings her socks off so well... well she's not even wearing socks!

Okay, what I mean is it's a fantastic performance.  Even the judges agree!

Panel-Bites:

Nadia:  I'm going to be singing Dusty Springfield's 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me'. When I heard it, I knew the song was me... it fits me like a glove and if I'm gonna slow it down this week, that's the one to do it to.

Nadia sings...

Randy Jackson:  So listen... I got to give you... I got to give you props, man. The show finally started tonight guys! (big cheers drown Randy's voice) Nadia started the show off!

Paula Abdul:  I'm a fan. I'm excited. I'm excited for you, because you're in it to win and you're playing the game and I'm so proud of you Nadia. Way to go!

Simon Cowell:  Nadia, in a competition full of hamburgers, you are a steak!

Paula Abdul:  Oh that's perfect!

Ryan Seacrest:  Nadia, you're so elegant this evening! So, if you liked it you've got to vote.
