While defending Dami’s performance of Bridge over Troubled Water, Dannii fought back tears, following the death of her grandmother,

“I had the roughest week ever, that was for my parents and my grandfather that song tonight. I’ve had the toughest time. You’ve been my absolute angel. And for anyone else out there who ever had a tough time, that is the song,” she said.

“It’s not about singing like a rock song, it’s not about being ridiculous, and I love that. But this is about the purity of Dami in what she’s grown up listening to with her family and her classical music background.

“This was the first week Dami was just being Dami.”

News Corp reports her grandmother reportedly died after a battle with cancer.

Minogue was absent for the show’s closing segment but host Luke Jacobz extended sympathies to her family.

  1. Somebody had to draw the line under Dami’s endless standing ovations and exemplary comments. There was only ever one way to go – downwards. ‘Bridge over troubled water’ is a moving and building composition; to do it justice in 2 minutes is tough. It ended without much of a vocal climax so i’m with Foo on it being just a little held in.

  2. @Beckala. i also thought Danni’s comment “It’s not about being ridiculous, which i love” while eyeballing Redfoo was a bit of a jab seeings ridiculous is his word atm.

  3. Really felt for Danni last night. I know Redfoo did say that Dami was great last night, but how anyone could find any fault whatsoever in her performance is beyond me.

  4. I think that last night, the gloves were off for Red Foo and Nat. Some of their comments seemed a little too much – Nat’s bitterness started after both her groups performed (badly!!) – it felt like she knew her groups would both be in the bottom so she started slagging off other contestants. Red Foo’s comments about Dami seemed a little unreasonable as well.
