ITV & Andrew Lloyd Webber's Search For A SUPERSTAR: Recap, Episode 10

Well, we had a weekend off to recover from the losses of Jeff and Jon. We're down to the final five, with a winner to be selected on Wednesday. 

And they began this week's performances with a group sing of 'We Are Young' - not exactly rock opera, but some awkward vocal leaps. Andrew Lloyd Webber reassured us that the viewing audience have picked the right quintet, but then took the opportunity to remind us once more that we are casting a role rather than simply a singer.

We were treated to a special guest appearance from Gary Barlow, Lloyd Webber's new best friend, who performed with the final five amidst a cacophony of screams.

After spending her formative years reading books and ending up with a Masters degree in English literature from King's College London, it was inevitable that Carrie should be a journalist. Her pure and simple delight in the art-form of musical theatre led to the Guardian asking her to be their West End Girl. Since then, she's picked up a PhD, and also written for many other UK publications, including the Times and the Independent. She has many eclectic loves, including sport, karaoke, reality television, MMORPGs, three-volume Victorian novels, the British seaside, embroidery and Veronica Mars.
