One Week to go until the finals of the first seven week competition of Michigan Idol.

Judge Steve Armstrong said, "Wow the performances went through the roof tonight. Kate's performance blew it out of the water, It can't get any better then that." Armstrong continued, "The hairs on my arms were standing up."

The Judges will pick finalists that will qualify for a chance to win the grand prize and a spot to perform on the big stage at the Labadie Pig Gig 2009 in Bay City's Vet's Park later this summer.

According to host Doug Dore, "This coming Thursday will be the last week with the monitors. After that, they are on there own," Dore added.
