The second battle on Team Jack will be the soulful tones of Paige Richardson battling against the rock voice of Adam Isaac! My boys will be battling it out on Cee Lo Green's Forget You!
Adam & Paige, that was a very interesting battle...a great combination of voices between you both. I do believe though that overall, Paige Richardson was the better act in this battle.
Apologies for my late comment...was making a last minute change on one of my songs.
Kye Sones
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
Both
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Jay Norton
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)
Both
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
Kye Sones
Leave my door open just a crack
(Jay: Please take me away from here) Jay Norton
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Kye Please take me away from here) Kye Sones
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Jay: Please take me away from here) Jay Norton
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Kye: Ha-ha)
Kye Sones
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell) Jay Norton
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)
Both

Guys, I would like to say a big thank you for being understanding when I made a last-minute change because I wasn't happy with my original choice for you both, however you both sung it to the best of your abilities! Kye, you have the strength and potential to be a top contender and with me on board you're going to get better support than Gary gave you on the real show. Jay, you were also amazing with that song but I do agree that you were outdone by Kye a few times.
Another hard choice, but the second act I'm taking to my Top 5 is...
Kye Sones!
Sorry Jay, but I wish you big success in the future.
Anyway, so my first battle is between Jahmene and Tyler, singing Back to Black by Amy Winehouse, good luck boys!
Jahmene
He left no time to regret
Kept his d*ck wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Tyler
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
Both
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....
I go back to us
Jahmene
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
Both
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Tyler
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to
Both
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Jahmene
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
Woah! What a battle of the soul voices right there! Jahmene, you are sensational with ballads but when you get an upbeat song, you are on another level. Tyler, you haven't had much chance to shine so this was your big chance tonight and it did seems that you were able to stay on top form along with Jahmene. This is one tough choice your mentor has to make...I cannot call this.
I am so proud of you both, in training you battled through it whatever the weather. You tackled the song brilliantly. Jahmene your voice is sensational whilst Tyler you send a shiver up my spine. It's going to be hard to choose but I'll see what the others think first.
(I did have all the lyrics on a word document that hasn't saved but it was going that the contestants sang 3 lines then the next one sang 3 with them both singing the chorus)
Well first of all, I like to commend the bravery from your mentor choosing this song which takes me right back to the 80's. This was certainly one energetic battle and it wasn't clear as to who came out on top. However I think that Gamu just about edged it for me and should go through.
Comments
Adam singing as Tyler (male vocalist)
Paige singing as Drew (female vocalist)
Apologies for my late comment...was making a last minute change on one of my songs.
I thought it was me next
Next up is another all-male pairing and they're taking a risk with a mid-tempo song, it's Kye Sones & Jay Norton!

My next one will come in a couple of mins
And well done Tyler
Next up it's Gamu VS. Hannah
