I have to say I'm a little unsure about that performance in places it felt vocally a bit frantic and all over the place. At other times the music kind of swamped the vocals and at other points it came across as a tad shouty. It a lot more energy and life than the first performance and Paramore is a band that would suit the type of artist you are, but I think overall this hasn't been one of your strongest nights. Last week you were one of the front runners and this week it feels as though your kind of middle of the pack which I always think is a dangerous place to be. I'm sure you'll be safe as you seem pretty popular with the voters, but overall I am little disappointed tonight.
Paramore are now considered club songs? Well I am going to immediately say no to that as they’re not in any way shape or form club songs or would actually be played in clubs so I have no idea what your mentor was thinking. Listen this was quite predictable as Paramore are one of the more popular bands that are suited for you and it was better than your first performance but was still very predictable. Your mentor needs to look into more artists like this instead of youtube cover artists like the first performance.
Definitely a better performance than the first one. The song choices suited you way more (suited you a bit too much if im honest). But I liked that you went back to your roots, which is what ive been begging for. A little less predictable song choice for the future would be good
Now this is where you are the best and no one can touch you when you take on upbeat songs like this and your voice is very flexible! Choosing a Paramore song was such a great idea from me, you rocked the stage and came back so much stronger and now, believe me when I say that you need to be back here. I still have so much more for you to give, so save my rock girl, please!
Okay that was a bit of a surprise as I was expecting you to pretty much flop with this theme but this was ironically your strongest performance of the series. The singers tone in this was weirdly just perfect for you and although this theme was just like impossible for you your mentor has weirdly managed to get you to give your best performance which was actually really impressive. Bravo to your mentor on this one is all I can say.
I've been praising you a lot so far and that's cause you were impressing me but that performance Stacy, I thought it was wrong. I didn't believe it, It lacked that soul that makes you unique from anyone else in the competition and overall it just sounded a bit too shallow for you. You have been quite consistent for me, and I wish you good luck in the voting tonight
Stacy, I see what your mentor was trying to do when finding a club song for you. I'm sorry to tell you but I was not convinced by the song choice, the version I was listening to wasn't going well for me and I felt that the performance was a huge let down. I have been a big fan of you since the start, but I think you have had a very bad night and I think you could be in big trouble tonight.
Stacy Francis
Again, this song was actually used in the first series for one of the acts, however that aside I think that you did a relatively good job. Your first performance I would say was stronger than this one, but it was good to see you sing something uptempo and contrast the first performance. Before the show I would've said you were the one in the most danger of getting eliminated from the competition, however two fairly good performances and I would be surprised now if you were in danger. Tom has done a good job tonight and his late song changes have probably helped quite a bit.
Declan Sykes
Whilst I personally wouldn't class this as a 'Club' Song per say it was accepted due to it being upbeat. Also I think I have drunkenly danced to it in a club before at some point, but I wouldn't really class it in the genre - but as I said it was accepted. That aside this performance was all about having fun on stage and you sure did that! It completely contrasted your first performance and bought you more into your comfort zone and we could see what you love to do and thats to perform! It was fun, energetic and I thought you did a fantastic job up there tonight. I think overall you've had one of the strongest nights here and I hope that translates in the results later tonight. Well Done!
Ummmmm this was interesting Declan. I mean I get the whole Indie/hipster club scene your mentor was going with this one as these guys have been played in a few clubs I’ve been in so I get the whole club idea (somewhat). I honestly have to say though this was just really weird and not in the good Declan way. The song is quirky but it just didn’t really suit your vocals or the whole style of you. Your first performance was the second best but this was just wasn’t right as was really weak for you unfortunately.
Well, I haven't heard this song for years, so this was a surprise for me. Declan, However I felt that this was not one of your best tonight. The song choice and the performance lacked of the spark that I normally see in you. You've had great songs before, but this was not right for you. It hasn't been a bad night for you but you have done better before.
Drew
Last series with Fifth Harmony we had a slight debate over whether Nicole Scherzinger was a dancefloor classic. Not that I want to re-open the debate but I would say the same about Demi Lavato - even if this is uptempo the theme really should have been called Uptempo as all bar 2 songs here are real 'Club Hits' in the way it was explained it our brief. Anyway getting back to the performance I thought it was definitely good to see you singing something uptempo and a change from the norm however I wasn't completely sold on it. There is something that really just isn't clicking for you over the last couple of shows. I saved you against Reece because the sing off song was better, however I think I'm regretting my decision now as I don't think the song really suited you.
The day Demi Lovato is played in any club is the day that the club scene dies. Again Drew this wasn’t suited for you in the slightest and had no quirkiness whatsoever. Your mentor has been saying constantly how your club classics song was meant to be amazing and this wasn’t amazing if anything is was as far from amazing as possible. If anything it was probably more suited to Christina than you and if I am honest, if you survive tonight it will be the definition of a miracle.
OH YEAH DREW! We have been waiting for 6 weeks but finally, we got to use this song and sing the night away...I mean, listen to this audience right now! You nailed that song and you gave it 110% in every movement in your body...this is how we do it with parties, Drew. In the words of Nicole, you were doing two things on that stage girl, LI-VING!
Mitchell Callaway
No No No...! And did I mention No! I know that this theme is so far removed from what you're used to but it all just kind of fell apart really didn't it? I was curling my feet at points of that song and it just really wasn't you. Both performances tonight have been a bit of a letdown; usually in the Overs Stacy is slightly in your shadow, however tonight she has completely overtaken you. I really think you could be in danger after that performance... I know you tried to do something different and risks are commendable when they work, but this one didn't and it was just wrong.
This is the definition of a club classic as this was played in clubs a lot during the time it was released and again I applaud your mentor for doing it even though this is a theme that again is not suited to you. I mean again this theme is really not suited to you but for some reason this interesting country cover was interestingly suited to you which I really didn’t expect when I saw the song. Tonight you’ve probably been the most impressive Mitchell and I still think you’ll be sailing through this week.
Mitchell doing an MJ song? Wow, your mentor never ceases to surprise me! It was definitely not predictable, but it was a shock in my eyes...and not a good one I'm afraid. The song choice and the rendition of it was not that good for me and I felt that it was weaker than your first song. Tonight, I feel very disappointed in you and like Stacy, I think you could very well be in big trouble tonight.
So that’s all of our six acts performed both of their songs.
Line are now open! To vote, PM me a list of the acts ranked from 6 (your favourite) to 1 (your least favourite)! Voting closes at 9pm so get them in quick as you can!
Another quick notice before we go to Pingu’s interviews. If you remember a few weeks back we had an appearance of Mystery Judge who was cruel, unnecessarily rule and downright honest. Well, he’s back tonight to give the judges some advice for the Semi Finals next week.
If you hadn’t guessed already
JACKEL1234
Was Mystery Judge. So judges, you better have paid close attention to what he said tonight as you’ll have some new ideas of what to do with your acts hopefully. Be nice to him now you know who that scumbag is
Okay Pingu, take it away with the Interviews. Back soon for the results show!
