    Next up is my Male/Female duet with a beautiful cover at the ready, it's Laura White & Vince Kidd!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFe46GXdeys

    Laura White
    If I should die before I wake
    It's 'cause you took my breath away
    Losing you is like living in a world with no air

    Vince Kidd
    I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
    My heart won't move, it's incomplete
    Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

    Laura White
    But how do you expect me
    to live alone with just me
    'Cause my world revolves around you
    It's so hard for me to breathe

    Both
    Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
    Can't live, can't breathe with no air
    It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
    It's no air, no air
    Got me out here in the water so deep
    Tell me how you gonna be without me
    If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
    It's no air, no air

    Vince Kidd
    I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
    Right off the ground to float to you
    There's no gravity to hold me down for real

    Laura White
    But somehow I'm still alive inside
    You took my breath, but I survived
    I don't know how, but I don't even care
    So how do you expect me
    to live alone with just me
    'Cause my world revolves around you
    Both
    It's so hard for me to breathe

    Both
    Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
    Can't live, can't breathe with no air
    It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
    It's no air, no air
    Got me out here in the water so deep
    Tell me how you gonna be without me
    If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
    It's no air, no air

    No air, air
    No air, air
    No air, air
    No air, air

    Both
    Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
    Can't live, can't breathe with no air
    It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
    It's no air, no air
    Got me out here in the water so deep
    Tell me how you gonna be without me
    If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
    It's no air, no air

    No air, air
    No air, air
    No air, air
    No air

    Laura White
    Got me out here in the water so deep
    Vince Kidd
    Tell me how you gonna be without me
    Laura White
    If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
    Both
    It's no air, no air

    Both
    No air, No air

    Oh what a beautiful duet from you both. This was another choice I had right off the bat and you both took it with your best moments. Laura, this was absolutely brilliant from you and with me on board, I have what you need to go far and I'm sure the viewers will definitely support you. Vince, you also have a huge support and tonight, you were also fantastic and when you both sung together, it was like something special.

    So difficult for me right now, but I have decided that the 3rd act to join my Top 5 is...
    Laura White!

    I'm sorry Vince, but I'm sure we'll see you again soon.

    My next battle is between Nikita and Jenny and they're singing Warwick Avenue

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqqwdBC0CSs

    I've decided to take a risk by both contestants singing the whole thing together with them only singing the chorus separate.

    What a brilliant battle that was, a soft battle but with so much going on with the voices. I can see that both of you have worked very hard in learning your harmonies when singing together, this is another one that I cannot call. So it's down to your mentor, really.

    Nikita and Jenny

    To be honest, I don't really remember either of these girls so I can't really comment on who I would prefer. Sorry :o

    My third battle is going to be 2008's Overs goddess Ruth Lorenzo against the beautiful voice of Joelle Moses singing Edge of Glory by Lady GaGa

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RdQpVwGNGg
    Joelle:
    There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
    Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
    And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight (Tonight)
    I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
    Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
    Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight

    [Bridge:]
    Ruth:
    It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
    I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
    Where we can both fall far in love

    [Chorus:]
    Both:
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
    Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    [Joelle]: I'm on the edge, the edge, [Ruth]:the edge, the edge, [Both]: the edge, the edge, the edge,
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    I'm on the edge with you.

    Ruth:
    Another shot before we kiss the other side
    Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
    I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
    (Alright! Alright!)
    Put on your shades, 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
    Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
    It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
    (Alright! Alright!)

    Joelle:
    [Bridge:]
    It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
    I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
    Where we can both fall far in love

    [Chorus:]
    Both:
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
    Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    [Joelle]: I'm on the edge, the edge, [Ruth]:the edge, the edge, [Both]: the edge, the edge, the edge,
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    I'm on the edge with you.

    Joelle: I'm on the edge with you
    Ruth: I'm on the edge with you
    (You, you, you...)

    [Solo saxophone]

    [Chorus:]
    Both:
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
    Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    [Joelle]: I'm on the edge, the edge, [Ruth]:the edge, the edge, [Both]: the edge, the edge, the edge,
    I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
    [Ruth]: I'm on the edge with you.

    Now THAT is what I call a battle! This was incredible and it made me feel so much alive all through that battle. You both were incredible and you have just made it very hard for your mentor choose. For me, I think Joelle should be given a chance to see how far she can go. :)

    Ruth & Joelle

    Girls, you SMASHED THAT! Your vocals came together and collided so much it felt like a huge explosion of rock and power! Unfortunately, I do have to choose one of you to go through to the next round and I have made that decision. The act I am taking through is...
    Ruth Lorenzo: I have so many more ideas for Ruth that I want to show off and hopefully take her further than 5th place in Back to Basics. I love to mentor her and I want to give her another chance!

    Unfortunately this means that Joelle will be going home, however I think she is amazing and this was a very difficult choice for me. I just don't think her vocals are quite at the standard that Ruth's are at[/b]

    My penultimate battle for my team is Danyl Johnson vs Cassius Henry. It is going to be interesting to see what the other judges think of this performance of Rock DJ!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BVi2HB9HAY
    Cassius:
    Me with the floorshow
    Kickin' with your torso
    Boys getting high
    And the girls even more so
    Wave your hands if your not with the man
    Can I kick it?
    (Yes you can)

    Danyl:
    I got
    (Funk)
    You got
    (Soul)
    We got everybody
    I've got the gift
    Gonna stick it in the goal
    It's time to move your body

    Cassius:
    Babylon back in business
    Can I get a witness?
    Every girl, every man

    Danyl:
    Houston, do you hear me?
    Ground control, can you feel me?
    Need permission to land

    Both:
    I don't wanna rock, DJ
    But your making me feel so nice
    When's it gonna stop, DJ?
    Cos you're keepin' me up all night

    Danyl:
    Singin' in the classes
    Music for your masses
    Give no head
    No backstage passes
    Have a proper giggle
    I'll be quite polite
    But when I rock the mic
    I rock the mic
    (Right)

    Cassius:
    You got no love, then you're with the wrong man
    It's time to move your body
    If you can't get a girl
    But your best friend can
    It's time to move your body

    Danyl:
    I don't wanna be sleazy
    Baby just tease me
    Got no family planned

    Cassius:
    Houston, do you hear me?
    Ground control, can you feel me?
    Need permission to land

    Danyl:
    I don't wanna rock DJ
    But you're making me feel so nice
    When's it gonna stop, DJ?
    Cos you're keeping me up all night

    Cassius:
    I don't wanna rock, DJ
    But you're making me feel so nice
    When's it gonna stop, DJ?
    Cos your keeping me up all night

    Danyl:
    Pimpin' aint easy
    Most of them fleece me
    Every night

    Cassius:
    Pimpin' ain't easy
    But if you're sellin' it
    It's alright

    Come on

    Both:
    I don't wanna rock, DJ
    But you're making me feel so nice
    When's it gonna stop, DJ?
    Cos you're keeping me up all night

    Danyl:
    I don't wanna rock, DJ
    Cassius:
    But you're making me feel so nice
    Danyl:
    When's it gonna stop, DJ?
    Cassius:
    Cos you're keeping me up all night

    Ahhh, I don't blame you for giving Ruth another chance, putting my host-impartialness aside, I felt that she was robbed of going further.

    What another risk to take I'm seeing tonight. That was absolute excitement and I can see that the ladies were screaming your names. Half of them want Danyl and half of them want Cassius to go through. Between you both, I felt that Danyl was the strongest, but I will say good luck to both of you.

    I really do want to see her try and do better this time round. I think she'll give me a good chance of reaching the Semi-Final at least :)

    Danyl & Cassius

    Again another strong battle, but I'm going with the guy who I think performed better in that performance after rewatching it and I have decided to take through...
    Danyl Johnson

    The Voice acts were off to a great start but now the X Factor acts are fighting back. This is a close competition right now.

    Probably me. :p

    Now for this 4th battle of mine, we have an unique battle ready for you, it's Carolynne Poole and Matt & Sueleen! :cool:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f771tzdzFLc

    Matt
    You know I'd fall apart without you
    I don't know how you do what you do
    'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
    Makes sense when I'm with you

    Sueleen
    Like everything that's green, girl, I need you
    But it's more than one and one makes two
    Put aside the math and the logic of it
    You gotta know you're wanted too

    Matt & Sueleen
    'Cause I wanna wrap you up
    Wanna kiss your lips
    I wanna make you feel wanted
    And I wanna call you mine
    Wanna hold your hand forever
    And never let you forget it
    Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

    Carolynne Poole
    Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah
    And you get that all the time, I know you do
    But your beauty's deeper than the make-up
    And I wanna show you what I see tonight...

    Both
    When I wrap you up
    When I kiss your lips.
    I I wanna make you feel wanted
    And I wanna call you mine
    Wanna hold your hand forever
    And never let you forget it
    'Cause, baby, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

    Carolynne Poole
    As good as you make me feel
    I wanna make you feel better

    Sueleen
    Better than your fairy tales
    Better than your best dreams
    You're more than everything I need
    You're all I ever wanted

    Matt
    All I ever wanted

    Both
    And I just wanna wrap you up
    Wanna kiss your lips
    I wanna make you feel wanted
    And I wanna call you mine
    Wanna hold your hand forever
    And never let you forget it
    Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

    Carolynne Poole
    Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

    Matt & Sueleen
    You'll always be wanted

    What a battle of the Country artists tonight. The beginning was a brilliant set-up for the chorus which was outstanding from you both. Matt & Sueleen, everyone knows you and what you can do together and Carolynne, you have a big following wherever you go. You both are 100% excellent and I have big ideas in mind for you, but I can only choose between one of you and this is actually really really hard! :(

    But the 4th act I'm taking with me top the Top 5 is...

    Matt & Sueleen!

    And I'm really, really sorry to let Carolynne go, but it was very tough to choose between them both. :(
