This is the moment that Adam realised he'd made it into the semi-final which I'm adding now as requested and for completeness. He seemed a little impatient when strung along for suspense by Simon. He appeared quite confident but relieved when told he'd made it through and as always, worked the room and looked fabulous.

Hollywood Week - Believe
Going into Hollywood week, I remembered that Adam was one of the handful of contestants I was interested in seeing from the previous audition. He was singing Cher's 'Believe' and again, I thought 'Oh no!' because I really dislike that song with its synthesised vocals and thought it was a pretty gay song choice. Again, I was shocked by how well he sang when he nailed quality notes and was emotive and moving. When he hit the first high note 'love', I felt a tingle, it was beautiful. Still I wasn't sure if the song suited his style and his timing lagged ever so slightly.
Group Stage - Some Kind of Wonderful
I had to wait through a lot of rubbish performances and bitching between contestants before getting to see a little of Adam's performance. I looked forward to seeing him sing and I wasn't disappointed. This was the performance that first revealed to me his incredible vocal capabilities and range. Again, he surprised me by how soulful he sounded and the song really worked for his voice even though I felt there was a slight contradiction between how he looked and the choice of song. You just don't expect a goth rocker to be able to sing like that!
