The Idol journey has come to an end for Sophie Paterson.
The folk singer gave a solid performance of “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” but it wasn’t enough to keep her out of the bottom three. She was in good company though, with Teale Jakubenko and Mark Spano by her side. But ultimately luck wasn’t on Sophie’s side. I’m not exactly sure why she failed to connect with the public, but her frequent appearances in the bottom three lead me to believe that’s why her number came up tonight.
It’s a real shame. Sophie captivated me from the start, and I’ll miss her performances. I would have loved to see what she could bring to next week’s Rolling Stones theme. If Channel Ten can get Mick and the boys to fly in to be guest mentors I’ll be really impressed.
