MYRTLE POINT — Another week, another new person is in the spotlight at Bay Area Teen Idol.

Destyni Fuller took the top score for the first time ever with her performance of Bonnie Tyler’s “It’s a Heartache” at the Coos County Fair.

In the three weeks that elite scorers have been announced, there’s been a different lineup in the top three each time, and no one’s taken the No. 1 spot twice.

Joining Fuller in the top three were Thaddeus Miller and Star Moralez.

Miller, 13, of Bandon, placed second with “Can’t Buy Me Love” and was named the people’s choice winner from last week, when he also got the leading score.

Moralez, who performed the Tina Turner version of “Proud Mary,” is the only contestant who has been in the top three every time.

As last year’s runner-up, Moralez, 16, of Myrtle Point, went into the competition a heavy favorite, but an abundance of talented newcomers — including Miller, Marissa Cato, Ally Putas and Emma Wampler — are making it a much closer contest.

Fuller, who was good enough to reach the finals last year, has shown significant improvement. In addition to improving the consistency of her pitch, the 14-year-old also has begun to vary her expression — something judges recommended last week.

“I love it when the kids come back with the notes you gave them,” said head judge Kim Handsaker.

Judges eliminated two contestants: Sabrina Hines-Sharp, 16, of Coos Bay, and Kara Shore, 15, of North Bend. Both had trouble with pitch. Shore had not previously been in the bottom three but seemed to have trouble hearing her music on the sound system at the fair.

Barbara Boots and Edward Martin also judged this week. The competition returns to the Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay next week, when the 11 remaining contestants begin performing two songs each and incorporating costumes into their performances. The themes will be the 1980s and big band/swing.
