Abi's Diary
Abi discovers a new found passion for dance.
Sunday 3rd September
Hmm... not the best comments on Saturday night! But I'm actually feeling ok about it! I was happy with my performance and luckily some people out in the big bad word were too! Yay! I'm in the semis!
Monday 4th September
I've been thinking about my Big Spender weekå that night I came onto that stage determined to forget about the panel and perform for you guys, the people who truly matter and I care about! It paid off and so this is what I have to do once more on Saturday and boy am I going to! I've been given the most wonderful song, one that encapsulates so much of what I'm feeling and one that allows me to dance with four strapping lads... bonus!
Tuesday 5th September
Ballet? Ballet?? Sorry what?! Help! There's a woman bending my legs in ways too difficult even for a plasticine woman! It's okay, I'll wake up soonå any second nowå now? Aargh, it's not a dream! Unfortunately I haven't had a ballet lesson in my life but I threw myself into it and by the end I'm proud to say I'd picked a lot of it up! I'm now definitely ready for Swan Lake - playing the part of the lake!
Thursday 7th September
More ballet! I'm definitely better than I was yesterday. I think I might take it up once this is all over!
I love my routine! There's a lift, I roll down men, it's passionate and beautiful and I love it!
Everything just feels right at the moment! It never ceases to amaze me how lucky and privileged I am to be here and I refuse to waste any of it. Everybody has dreams, everybody strives to follow them but few have the helping hand that we have had and for that I will be eternally grateful.
I have to go now, we're going to a Maria mystery tour in Wales. Why? I have no idea! Bring on another assault course!
Friday 8th September
Could my life get any better! Seriously! Let me just recap... I am in the final five with the most lovely girls, doing what I love most on a daily basis, my dream in reach and... I just snogged John Barrowman! We went to Wales to snog John Barrowman! Okay, okay we went for more than that but cor lummy, swoon, swoon, swoon!
Today was all about the chemistry between a leading lady and her leading manå I think I found it. I can't believe Saturday is only two days away! The longing to be in the final has now turned into a dull ache that no amount of pain killers can cure! I want this more than Juliet wanted Romeo and I am gonna give it everything I've got!
I couldn't have got here without the support of my wonderful friends and family and to them I say thank you for making me who I am, I'd be empty without you. I love you with all my heart and I always will!

Katie
Abi, I am so sorry you went out tonight, I thought you gave by far the best performance of the night. The song completely suited your voice - but unfortunately it wasn't a song that would have suited Maria's voice... but you are amazing and I will be in the front row when you're in your own role on the West End!
Melanie Rivera
Abi, it should have been Helena and not you. What are these people thinking?
Best of luck to you in the future.
Lucille
Abi, you were easily the most likeable and charismatic. You've got real star quality and you looked like you cared for Aoefa's feelings when you were out more than yourself. I'd love to have a sister like you.xx
Kris
i think Abi was great on sat night. i think she had the strongest voice and i think it was a shame that she was not saved. well done abi. we think you rock.
Carl
Abi! Can't believe you're out of the contest. You've become a megastar in Manchester gay village. We all love you and would love to meet you some day xx
Kevin
Abi, you may not be "Maria" anymore, but you're still brilliant and I really hope to see you in the west end in another show
Liz
You're out, I'm sorry. I thought you could do it, you have the best voice on the show!!!
Rosario Gibbons
