A fantastic way to kick off the first half of the show and the umplugged section in general. There was a great raw quality to that performance and one which allowed you to pour all your emotion into it. You got a bit of criticism last week about being directionless and being lost in this competition. I think that performance should silence the naysayers and put you back on the map in the competition. You're a unique act and finding song choices for you sometimes difficult dependent on the theme. For unplugged though we both knew which direction to take and you totally nailed it tonight. A fabulous performance and a brilliant way to start the quarter finals!

Now I absolutely adore Bat For Lashes as she is a brilliant artist but this song I feel is more suited to Sophie Habibis rather than you Kitty. It was an average performance because your vocals do have a lot more of an edge to them than this song but you’re also very quirky like Bat For Lashes so I do see where your mentor was going with this one but I think the execution with your vocals could’ve been done better than this. Overall an average performance but you’ve done better in previous weeks so you should have no problem going through.
Next up is a girl who wants to feel again...It`s Christina Parie!!

Last week you had one of your best shows and you gained immunity, this week we've got a completely different set of themes and this theme should enable you to showcase you vocals a lot more. For me I found the performance a little held back and little bit flat, it felt as though it stayed on one level throughout and whilst your vocals were good it never really built up to a wow moment for me. It was ok, but for a quarter final performance and after last week I was kind of expecting a lot more from.

Look your mentor seems to use cover artists on youtube and give them to you all the time a long with Drew and seems to think they work when to be honest they really do not. This singer is way to mature for you Christina and the song doesn’t work with you on any level as you really do have more of a rocker chick edge rather than this singer who has the voice of a generic pop voice which is no way similar to yours at all. Not a good performance Christina.
Next up is an over, and she wants to stay....It`s Stacy Francis!!

Emotionally this was a really good performance from you Stacy and really allowed you show off more of your powerful vocals than you have done in the past and just overall allows you to really give off a really good performance. Rihanna is an RnB artist whilst you’re a gospel artist so this was quite a surprise and the song worked well for you Stacy! Good performance although the vocals were too soulful at times.
Stacy in singing something from this century shocker! This song was actually used in the first series (IIRC), however I thought that was probably the best performance you've given on the show. I think last show you were bloody lucky not to go into the bottom 3 as the song choice for you was a little :eek:. However I like the fact that we got to hear the tone of your voice come across and the amount of emotion that you give over in the lyrics. I think Tom has done a good job with this song choice and its a big step in the right direction for you, so well done. My one criticism is that this song is so mainstream and commercial that it can easily be construed to be just a karaoke version instead of you putting your own spin on it.
Next up is a quirkie who is imagining dragons(Is he mad? :eek:)....It`s Declan Sykes!!
