    For me you have been by far the biggest surprise of the competition and I think you did another good performance there. You always put so much depth and warmth into you lyrics and I think that comes across to the audience. One thing, like with a lot of the acts (even my own) it would be good to see something more up tempo and change the pace for you; again the themes haven't lent themselves to a differing pool of songs, but next week I want something to break away from the pace you're currently in. I think you could be a big contender and are a definite dark horse of the competition. Well done tonight.

    Mitchell, I've enjoyed your progress and improvement so far but tonight, I don't know what has happened but that was one of your worst performances to date. That was definitely not the right song for you...I believe that you are in big trouble tonight. Sorry to say.

    I do think that the pitch as too low for you but I thought that was a great choice by your mentor. You really connected with the song and that worked hand in hand with the lyric content of the song and boy, if tomorrow never comes, you know that you ended on a great performance tonight! Well Done

    Mitchell I do admit I love a good country act but I have to say that I think your mentor needs to take a look at some lesser known country acts like Drew Dawson for example as I am getting tired of it being a guessing game of which famous country artist you’re going to be performing a song from this week. The performance was decent though but didn’t show off your vocal ability that well and I think that’s what you need to work on next week by choosing a song that really shows off your vocal ability.

    The last act and the last of the groups now. These girls want to climb, hopefully not out of the competition, it’s Lakoda Rayne!

    Girls you`re my last remainig group and you did me proud. You closed the show amazingly and your vocals and harmonies were just beautiful. From the start to the end you impressed me. I have to be honest and say that at the start I thought you were going to do the worst of my groups, but you have in fact done the best. I`m in love with you girls. Cari, Hayley, Paige and Dani you have to be through to next week. Vote Lakoda Rayne!!

    I feel a bit sorry for you girls as it's definitely not your fault that you were up there sing another ballad, which is all you have done since the start and we are three weeks in. Please make no mistake of singing another one next show regardless of the theme. I was okay with the vocals but I would've loved you to harmonise when it came to the chorus, rather than sing in unison.. you are a group after all

    I really don't want to be harsh on you as a group and you're the last one's standing, however I just really wasn't feeling that as a song choice at all. It has karaoke written all over it and is a song which has been used to death on the real show and in shows in general. Your vocals were good but I just felt that it wasn't a very inspired choice of song for you and considering you are the last group standing I wanted something to wow me and for you to finally make a mark on this competition. I'm actually worried for you this week; we could well have no groups by next week at this rate; if you are safe then I hope we get a song which shows you off better, which is less karaoke and that you can put your stamp on.

    Well girls, I have to say that firstly I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus's songs, but I like the fact that your mentor went for a cover that was more suited for you. I liked the arrangement and the harmonies, but it was bit of a karaoke and I know that you can do so much more and I wish you the best of luck with the voting tonight. Good performance to close the show, girls.

    *face desk* this could’ve been chosen by anyone it is just so predictable. The Climb is probably the most famous country song in the world for this generation and choosing a song like it really does make me wonder why your mentor chose it at all. You’re in serious trouble tonight I believe and if you’re here next week, like with Mitchell I think you need to look at more unknown country musicians and not ones which are really famous and could’ve been chosen but pretty much anyone. So all I can say is best of luck to you.

    Only the usual five will be voting. But of course there'd be a vote cast in your favour if Reece ends up in the Final Showdown

    I know my Girls weren't at their best but Tom's Overs were the most disappointing tonight. :(

    A message from MYSTERY JUDGE:
    Just thought I'd say that the judge I thought was head and heels above the rest was Yohinnchild as his song choices were the best out of everyone's and I only had very small pieces of advice I needed to give him in all honesty.

    Also don't post vote for this person posts as after while people just get annoyed by them :p

    So sorry guys! Only just got back from my aunties! Didn't get a connection their either!!
    Here are my comments

    Janet Devlin
    Janet, once again, you delivered! A great start to the show tonight. Not my favourite performance of yours but beautiful. I would like to see you try an upbeat song, some may think that would go horribly wrong but if you were given the correct song, I think it would work

    Declan Sykes
    Declan, a good song choice tonight, I enjoyed it. A ballad? I am not so sure, HOWEVER! I enjoyed myself, I am starting to change my mind about you, you are growing on me! Good job tonight

    Stacy Francis
    Stacy, stacy stacy stacy! Beautiful! Amazing! Powerful! Did I say beautiful? I loved it! You are a firecracker and for me you are up there with the mariahs, the adeles and the whitneys! Amazing, just amazing

    Kitty Brucknell
    Kitty, when you began to sing that song I know it was going to take us on a journey, and you did! You did not sing that, nor did you perform it, you told it, like it was a story. Beautiful!

    Christina Parie
    Christina, you are really the one to beat, for me anyway, you are on fire baby! Amazing performance again! You are one hot tamale baby! A great rendition of that song. Keep it up!

    Rachel Crow
    Yes yes yes! Rachel, that was heaps better than last week! Loved it!

    Reece Mastin
    I love that song! Love the script, infact I went to see them last week! They were incredible, anyway, I digress. A fantastic performance, you did that song justice! Your pop rocky tone worked really well and you kind of manipulated your tone, I loved it! YES

    Drew
    WELCOME BACK DREW!!! I personally think you never left but the viewers disagreed, this week, you came back all guns blazing and you bloody nailed it! It was nothing short of beautiful! That has been my word of the night hasn’t it! Amazing, perfect! Well done!

    Mitchell Callaway
    Mitchell, my little country star! A fantastic performance, I loved it as per! You are so different to the rest of the contestants in the competition, and I hope/think that works to your advantage, amazing performance! Well done mate

    Lakoda Rayne
    Girls, bottom 2 last week, but for me, something again, just did not click, the only harmonies seemed to be in the chorus, and the verses seemed to be very one artist with backup singers. Sorry girls, I HOPE you are safe though!

    Tom, I wish I could take back what I said about your Overs because you have just cheered me right up. :D

    I know that Stacy & Mitchell can do better and they have done before.
