The one and only Evelyne

10pm, Saturday, 19 January and Evelyne’s road to Vegas has come to an end. After she’d pleaded for Papa not to preach, she soon found herself in trouble deep. Act after act received the public vote and for a second week running, she faced the dreaded sing-off.

The show’s fatally flawed format meant that Eve knew she was heading home long before Britney came forward to show her support for Diana Ross. Forced to face the cameras one last time, our Madge vowed she’d return to the stage - it just won’t be this one. And nor should it be.

Evelyne out-performed and out sung many of her rival competitors but always had the smaller fan base. Her mum’s arrival in the UK to support her daughter saw them share the spotlight and she will be rightly proud of everything that Evelyne has achieved. But this was not Eve’s time. The One and Only was initial exposure for a talented singer, songwriter. It’s given her valuable experience working with two of the best vocal coaches around whilst providing an insight into the fickle workings of reality television.

Evelyne Brink will be back. She will take the positives from this experience, learn its lessons and the next time we see her on-stage or on our TVs, it’s likely to be the girl behind the Madonna mask. We’re proud of you Diva Eve. You’re a talented Madonna, you’re an even more talented you.
