Mixed comments for Princes & Rogues, have they done enough to secure a place for themselves in the third live show of the second series of The X Factor: Mix It Up?
It's time for the final performance of tonight's performance show. Showing everyone that she's got the power, it's the flawless Nicola Marie with Loreen's We Got The Power! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDBy9l8IyrI
I love you. I love that performance. I love that song. I basically loved everything about it. Zak hit the nail on the head tonight with all of his acts, but none moreso than you. It was sensational, I can't really add much else more.
Again it was a fantastic performance Nicola as to put it simply you’ve turned me into a fan of you. As Zak knows I am not a fan of you but with these song choices he is really turning me around and turning me into a proper fan of you. The song demonstrated your power, fantastic vocals and even a bit of your crazy side and I think that Zak is basically right now the perfect mentor for you and is basically destroying the competition with you tonight! Bravo Nicola and Zak!
Nicola Marie: Oh Nicola, hello! This was good, it was interesting and fun and quirky! Vocally I think it could have had more power. That said, you always strike me as someone who would be perfect for Eurovision and this felt like a very Eurovision performance, in a good way of course! With that in mind, I think it was a strong effort from you and you definitely gave it all you've got. Good job Nicola, you did impress me tonight and I'm confident that you can keep on pulling out the big guns in this competition! Good luck!
Nicola Marie.
This song choice is probably my favourite that I have chosen in a long time - usually I suck at this at this whole song selection thing - as NEXFG clearly shows. I think and hope you are going to be a frontrunner tonight Nicola, and rather deserved indeed. I said I would find a song with a similar tone to that of last week's but just generally a much better song and I think I've been able to do that. The vocals were incredibly suited to you and the song itself is brilliant - what more can we ask for? Very well done, Nicola.
What a way to close the show folks! Some amazing comments for Nicola Marie there, well done to her and her mentor Zak for showing such an amazing amount of greatness.
That's it everyone, the top ten have done all they possibly could to impress you, the DS public and the judges of Mix It Up! Now it's once again time for you to have your say. It's a single elimination, so while the end result lies in the hands of the judges, it is you who decide which 2 acts will have to sing again in the final showdown later tonight.
Good Question - Ghosts by Arlissa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhHpfI9CDIs Note: Kristina will do the rapping/singing rapping whilst Joelle will do the main singing. Joelle will also sing over the rapping every now and again as it is done in the song as well.
Sarah Watson - Skeletons by Nina Nesbitt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AH_mujZq84 Note: please imagine Sarah's quirky tone but obviously without Nina's Scottish twang.
To vote, please rank all the acts that have performed tonight from 10 to 1, assigning 10 points to your favorite act, all the way down to just 1 point for your least favorite act. Mentors can vote as well, and they CAN vote for their own acts as well. After you've listed and ranked the acts, PM the list to me (just click on my forum name and click send private message, it's as easy as that.).
The lines will remain open until 21:30, with the results taking place at the slightly later time of 21:35 right here on this thread. That gives you just under an hour to get your votes in, so make use of that time and start voting!
As always, feel free to discuss any aspects of the show with me and the judges here on this thread.
