Favourite Rachel IDA Moment:
Rachel's Biography - What ALW didn't see was in her biography.
Not having been there it is hard to tell all the elements in the performances. Her warmth and personality definitely came out in the 9 minute bio.

Favourite Non Rachel IDA Moments:
All the biographies, they added character to the performers, I loved them.
Jessie's final judging, John came clean, a bit.
