With nine performance shows already passed, Digicel Rising Stars' Season 7 is almost over! But before we find out who our next Digicel Rising Star will be, let's recap the season's 10 most memorable performances so far.

10. Latoya starts off our countdown with her performance of Lisa Fischer's How Can I Ease the Pain, on the very first performance night. Latoya, a finalist on the previous season where she was quickly cut down by judge Anthony 'Killer' Miller, warned him that this year he better "watch out!" And that's all he could do, as she rocked her song and rocked the stage, even busting a Michael Jackson move, sparking the crowd and further putting the audience on her side. Miller's response to the vivacious star-in-the-making was simply: "That was a great song and easily the most accomplished performance I have seen all evening." Judge Nadine Sutherland agreed with him, adding, "To handle that tune deh, yuh haffi bad! And I really like your image."

9. In the first studio performance, Toni Blair lit up the stage with her vivacity in her upbeat yet soulful rendition of Alicia Keys' Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart. She was the first contestant of the night, and the season, to get positive feedback from Anthony, who said: "She seized the moment, she brought some energy to it, some oomph, and that's a good thing!" Nadine, agreeing with Anthony, added: "I think you're going to do very well in this competition." And Clyde asked, "Are you an American? Cause you really brought some fireworks on the 4th of July!"

8. Phylea's Lady Gaga medley was little short of show- stopping. Bringing the appropriate theatrics to the stage on Medley Night, she did more than justice to Lady Gaga's Poker Face, Bad Romance and Paparazzi. And though her voice slightly wavered in the end, it did not stop her from getting a standing ovation from the audience and positive comments right around from the judges.

7. By the third studio live show, Dalton had already proven that he had what it takes to go far in this competition. After performing Hoobastank's soft rock ballad The Reasons, it was obvious that this 16-year-old from Clarendon stole the show two Sundays in a row. Nadine called it "maturity beyond his years", saying, "That was incredible!" Miller, also obviously impressed said, "Basically people want to be entertained he chose a soft rock song... he brought something to the platform that a lot of people didn't bring!"

6. On Then and Now Night, Camaley's 'Now' performance of Demarco's True Friends had the audience railing and singing along at the top of their voices, to the point where the judges said that they could barely hear her, and she later admitted back stage that she couldn't hear herself! While Nadine felt strongly that she rocked her performance, saying, "I have to give you Kudos, you are competing, you get inside of yourself no matter what you are singing, you bring out the drama, I mean this is not a song where you stand there and look beautiful, this is a rude-boy song, and I got it!" It was guest judge Cecile who really saw with her as a fellow entertainer, exclaiming, "I was really surprised, I was really entertained, I feel like I wanted to say 'Weh mi real friend dem deh, big up all a mi real friend...' and speaking from a stage show performance, she chose the right song that even if she had a wrong note we couldn't hear it, and that's what stage shows are about!"

5. Medley Night was a hit in terms of memorable performances, as our number-five on the list, Nekorah's Reggae Medley, revved up the crowd and got people on their feet and moving. even Lady Rennae joined her on stage to do the 'knee bubble'! Her trio of Tarrus Riley's Far Away, Cecile's Waiting and Maka Diamond's Hug Up Yuh Pillow was an impressive combination that got better and better with each song. The judges were equally as impressed as the audience, with Nadine saying laughingly, "I liked it, I like all the ways the songs showed you off, you came out with a lot of spark, your voice sounds big and full and rich, like the great singer you are. The first two songs were good, but trust me, Nekorah, Hug up Yuh Pillow and tink bout me!" Miller, keeping it simple, still ever so slyly said with a smile: "Nekorah, you were a very naughty girl tonight! I think that was very good."

4. Camaley makes the Top 10 again, this time with her performance of Etana's Free on Reggae Night. At the time, this was thought to be the best performance of the season, as not only did she reach deep within herself and show her true emotions, she really helped the audience and the judges to connect with the song from where she sat on her wooden stool. The audience's applause and loud whooping were enough to tell how much they appreciated her truly moving performance, but the judges took it a step further. Nadine complimented her with a genuine smile, full of emotion, saying, "It's the best that I've heard you vocally... I tell you I feel it right here in my heart." And Miller, being his usual honest self, said, "I think that is the best stand-up performance... It must have had some special resonance with you for some reason. It's a grown-up's song and finally we're hearing grown-up material."

3. On Gospel Night, the most moving and memorable night of the season, the ever impressive, Mr So Substantial, Jermaine Michaels, not only pulled off the popular Glacia Robinson hit, Hold My Hand, but he gave such an awe-inspiring, goose bump-inducing performance that his standing ovation from the audience nearly tore the roof off the Courtleigh auditorium! All three judges agreed that he has real star quality, and gets increasingly better every week, with Clyde stating, "That was pretty convincing... that was strong. It shows Nadine's Wild Card is no Joker!" while Miller, who had a broad smile on his face, was careful not to shower him with praise when he said, "I though he did pretty well."

2. Camaley has again earned another position within the top ten performances, this time with her Ska Night performance of Millie Small's My Boy Lollipop. Her bubbly, girly performance of one of the most well known Ska songs - sitting centre stage while still fully interacting with a male dancer - twirling her hair, playfully kicking her feet and smiling coyly. This put the audience in a frenzy, as they stood up and sang along, whooping loudly and applauding throughout her performance. Obviously impressed, guest judge Tanya Stephens commended her, saying, "I really enjoyed it, that was on point, I think Millie Small would have been very honoured, and even though you didn't get up off the chair, the interaction between you and the young man made up for it." Judge Clyde McKenzie agreed with her, noting Camaley's playfulness and vivacity. But it was Miller who gave her the most insight, saying, "Funny thing, people who weren't movement-challenged tonight messed up... You know your Ska... I mean Television-land was really entertained by that."

1. And Nekorah took the show and the season so far with her Gospel Night performance of Midnight Cry. As she powerfully belted out this hymn-book staple, the audience stomped, clapped and sang along with her, and somewhere in the audience a tambourine could be heard! At the end of her performance the audience was on their feet still clapping her on and shouting "Hallelujah" and "Amen"'. Even the judges were impressed and moved, with Lady Rennae looking tearful. And while Miller who was clearly in love with the performance, stated that the previous week she was a cougar and that week, Mahalia Jackson, and Nadine revealed that she had prophesied to herself that Nekorah would blow the roof off with the right song. Clyde was a bit more detailed: "To come and make a delivery like that... You're full of the spirit, Fabulous!"
