There were several genres covered by the singers on the night as each one had to perform two songs in the round. The crowd at the venue was very encouraging to all with some singing along with the performers while enjoying the atmosphere.  Semi Final 1 winners In the end, there was little between the four people who advanced  with each showing uniqueness and versatility.

Heidi kills it in Perth Just about the time that   questions such as ... wonder what happened to Killing Heidi? Wonder where they are now? Wonder if Jessie and Ella still have dreads? ... pop into your brain ... you happen to hear the buzz, the rumours, the possibility .. then, it's official ... The Reunion!! Killing Heidi roared into Perth's Astor Theatre  Friday night seeming to have never missed a beat and were so unlike a band that has been on a hiatus of sorts for ten years.
