Trivia

 * For Destiny's performance in the semi-final, one man from the choir was given a giant "key" to turn on Destiny's back several times to get her to stand up, as is common with other performances of "Les oiseaux dans la charmille".
 * Prior to the announcement for the finalists in the singers category, Destiny told the audience that she would eliminate herself. This decision came to the understanding of the other 14 contestants, conductor Faiza Naceri, host Sarah Bradley, the viewing public, spectators in the auditorium, the judges, and Destiny's family.
