Good evening ladies and gentlemen of DS forums. Last time our top 16 took to the stage for the first time in order to show us what they had and to try to win the viewers over as fans. We had a very hotly contested night with every act giving 100% into the performance to try to win a place whammy of e in tonights show. But unfortunately for Steve he had a double whammy of finding 2 of acts int eh bottom 2 and had the unfortunate sting of loosing Atle from the competition.
Tonight each of the judges was given the task of finding songs that related to a DECK OF CARDS. Some may have found this theme harder than others but its time f or them to come out and fight for a place on the next show. So lets welcome our judges and their teams

Mark I do really like you but I think that this song wasn’t the best for you overall. I mean you have this nice soulful voice, reggae style and guitar with you, which I am happy about being back this week, but the vocals and style of this song as a whole felt more country rather than acoustic soul with some reggae injected in there. I mean Corey Gray and John Mayer are two artists I really like a lot but when it came to combining the both of them and you it just didn’t work well for me which is disappointing from my point of view. Next week try and comeback with a soulful yet slightly reggae style as I think that’s what you’re best at doing plus I think your mentor can pull that off.
Up next tonight we welcome the wonderful Ida

Oh Ida, nothing compares 2 u! After last week’s criticism from Barry about wanting to see you perform a song with a beat I decided it would be my mission to find you a song that would have a nice beat to it as it progressed. At the start it’s so soft and allows you to really show off how much emotion you can put into a song and then as the song builds it shows off the power you have with your voice as well which is exactly what I wanted you to demonstrate this week. The quirkiness in your voice was just perfect for this song Ida and I think that after last week’s performance we have definitely taken it up a notch and I hope that we can seriously continue to do this as the competition goes on as you’re simply amazing Ida! Fantabulous! ENCORE!!
Up next we have Matt & Sueleen

I quite enjoyed this guys! Matt your vocals out of everyone in this competition really are my favourite at the moment and I like how your mentor is taking you down this quirky folk rock route at the moment. Personally I thought last week overall was the better performance in terms of your vocals but this performance was still good for you. I think the only piece of criticism I can give you at this moment in time is that I would love to hear more from Sueleen as so far she seems to be fading more into the background rather than being in the foreground with Matt. Either way you guys are still sailing through to next week as it was still a very good performance.
Up next to the stage we have the beautiful Hope Murphy

I honestly don’t know what to say as Hope this really wasn’t suited to you in the slightest, if anything it was more suited to Emma’s Imagination rather than you (I even planned this song for her). I mean your sing off performance showed off your soulful side and the type of singer your really are but then you have this which is a reminder of how you ended up in the sing off in the first place. I mean its more indie pop rather than soul which is what you need to be singing in this show! Plus I am very confident that this is a RULEBREAKER as it doesn’t really have anything to do with a deck of cards at all. Unfortunately I think you’re in trouble tonight Hope.

Again like last week I love you to pieces but I wasn’t really impressed with this performance. I mean there was no real richness in the singers voice and it felt better suited to Danielle rather than you if I am honest. I think the style of this performance was quite suited to you but I think your mentor needs to give you a really good song soon to show off your rich tone and urban edge as right now it’s exactly what you need to make an impact on me and the public as right now you’re one of those contestants who’s just here and isn’t really making a mark on the competition as an artist or as a contestant.
