We have become so used to the flamboyant costumes that have become his trade mark on Saturday nights.<\/p>\n<p>Still it was a refreshing change, and as for his performance, well we are not quite sure what to make of it. On one hand the song was ideally suited to his voice and he did as much as he could do, but on the other hand it was a poor impersonation of the Darkness because there was little in the way of originality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUDGES COMMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Walsh:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0Gary has to like you because everybody here likes you and the public likes you.
