This was soooooo much better than your first performance. Trixie Whitley is an amazing artist and suits you so well that it’s amazing and to put it simply, I reckon you’ve done amazing throughout this competition and I reckon you’re probably one of the only people I can say will be safe as anything tonight as (like we saw last week) have a following on this forum. Nicola you’re doing really well in this competition and considering I hated you at the start your mentor has done really well to convert me and simply bravo!
This was ok, Nicola, but I much preferred your first performance. This was just a bit underwhelming, and it harkened back to those mid-level performances from the pre-Loreen era. I'm just not sure this is the most favorable note to end on, but it wasn't bad by any stretch. My comments are getting shorter as the work day goes on, but I don't really have much to say other than that.
Kristina: Waking you telling you everything that i'm dreaming
I seem to be stuck
Never seem to know what i believe in
Brother always told me, stay out of trouble
Now i'm in too deep
Like living in a bubble
I can feel everything going in and out of conscience
Making me doubt myself
My dreams are all nonsense
Trying to figure me out
My handles and my feat
My brain is like a mansion
My heart is made out of concrete
Joelle: Snowballing tip of the iceberg
Can't hide Can't say a word
I guess this is the price I pay
For getting my wishes
I guess this is my way
This is my mission
How come i can't breathe out
Everything is over now
I breathe out ooh uh
Breathe out
Everything is over now
I breathe out
Kristina: Losing it going harder than ever
They don't understand me
They don't see what i'm made of
No one ever listens for real
What are they thinking
So i'm on my own
Breathing in
So what I'm saying
Troubling and worrying everyone around me
I never stop
I'm always busy
I had a chance
i took it without blinking
So you think my choices are strange
Listen
Joelle: I can hear myself complaining in the mirror
But there is someone in me screaming
Don't care what they're saying
Time has come to make a decision
Why are you always blocking my vision
How come i can't breathe out
Everything is over now
I breathe out ooh uh
Breathe out
Everything is over now
I breathe out (out)
Breathe out
Everything is over now
I breathe out (out)
Kristina: How come i can't breathe
How come i can't sleep
How come i can't see the trouble i'm in
How come i can't breathe
How come i can't sleep
How come i can't see the trouble i'm in
Joelle: It's growing in me
I can feel everything
The bruises i have are telling me it's real
Good Question.
Hello again, gitls. I thought this song choice was good! I think Faye is the perfect choice of artist for you (even though I don’t really like the song too much). However, it comes to a point where it doesn’t matter whether I like the song or not as long as it suits the act! I thought the vocals were very good and I thought it was a great way to end the show. Well done, I’m fairly certain you’ll be safe tonight.
I LOVE this song, have wanted you to do it for forever, and am VERY happy you finally did. This was another perfect performance, and I think that the battle has been won by you girls. I see the three main "rivalries" of the show being resolved tonight: Ethan over P+R, Danielle over Nicola, and you over Black Ivory. It will be interesting to see if anyone else agrees, but I think that you are safe and should go through. You can really do anything, and while anything could happen, I'd place a good amount of money on you being here next show.
Girls to put it simply this was an absolutely stunning performance and suited you girls down to the very core! Kristina your rapping in this song was simply stunning and the fact we tried to again incorporate a more singing style of rapping made this song even more magnificent with you doing that! Joelle your vocals in this performance has been the best you’ve been throughout the competition and I honestly can say with my hand on heart that this for me was the performance of the series! I absolutely adored it and I cannot praise you enough with this performance so all I can really say is bravo and I pray that you make it through after that amazing performance tonight!
And we indeed end the show on a high. What a great closing performance from these girls!
That was it folks! The performance part of the quarterfinal has ended, and what a high standard we have tonight. The final six have done all they could, and now it's up to you, the DS public, to decide which three acts will end up in the danger zone later tonight. It's a double elimination, so only one of the acts that lands there will make it through. Save your favourites by voting for them!
For those that want to vote, here's the obligatory recap of tonight's performances:
Good Question - U B The Bass by Luciana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIRLMXJ1UdU Note: Luciana has had one UK number 2. Joelle will take the chorus and few other areas singing like shown in the song whilst Kristina will do the rapping and will both sing together for the final chorus.
To vote, please rank all the acts that have performed tonight from 6 to 1, assigning 6 points to your favourite act, all the way down to just 1 point for your least favourite 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 21:25, with the results taking place at the slightly later time of 21:30 right here on this thread. That gives you a lot of time, easily over an hour to vote. However, that doesn't mean that you should all take your time and vote at 21:20. Well, what are you waiting for, start voting!
As always, feel free to discuss any aspects of the show with me and the judges right here on this thread!
It's SO close around the middle everyone, the bottom 3 changes with every vote. I can practically guarantee a shock at this point, it's that bad. :eek: Anyway, you have a little over an hour left to vote!
Just 30 minutes left to vote now, and it looks like both the top and the bottom place have been cemented. However, the other four acts (of which two are the ones that will have to sing again! :eek:) are constantly moving around the remaining places on the leaderboard.
omg I thought it was just a straight off eliminations lmao
No, only the act at the bottom of the scoreboard at the end of the voting window will go home without singing again. The other two-thirds of the bottom 3 will get to participate in the final sing-off of the series.

Hoping to close the show on a high, it's the ladies from Good Question singing Breathe Out by Faye!

Thanks, Soppyfan!
Haha!
But I am still a fan of Danielle.

You will no longer be able to vote from this point onward, so please don't bother.
Results in a bit.
