Rachel Hylton
There's no denying that you have an amazing voice, an extremely interesting tone to your voice and bags of power and stage presence. However that song was just too panda pop for me; you're a person who's been through a lot and whilst I can see the sentiment of the song it just really didn't work for me. The song just doesn't suit what sort of an act you are; some with some grit and its a shame that your mentor has gone down this route to showcase you. Not awful, but nowhere near brilliant. Good luck in the voting tonight.
Oooh, not the best comments for Rachel, could she be in trouble tonight?
Once again over to the "12 class and with an unique song at the ready, it's MK1! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug6qVbIgbjk
Note: This was one of the nominees to represent Lithuania in 2012.
Sim, Charlie…jaw dropping. That rap was so full of emotion Sim, I really enjoyed it. It was really difficult finding a song to suit you for this theme but I felt happy (and relieved) when I found this for you because it suits your vocals really well and not only but the performance was incredible! I really enjoyed Charlie’s part too. It showed that Charlie can hold notes too! And Sim’s rap was full of emotion, perfect combination. I want MK1 here next week, guys please vote if you enjoyed their performance.
MK1
MK1 does Eurovision and rock Eurovision! I was interested to see what you would do and I think Roxie has managed to pull the perfect song out of the bag for you. I liked Charlie's haunting vocals in this song and thought rap was good too; you bring something different to the competition and at the moment its good. I can't help but feel you may be a one trick pony act but I'm sure Roxie will prove your not in future shows. Well Done tonight though great performance
I don’t know about this performance. To be honest, today’s standard has been really high (surprised myself – considering the theme) and I don’t know if that was enough. I like the original song so much and I love Bonnie T, but I don’t like that version. Bonnie T sings with such beautiful emotion and I didn’t feel it from that. There was some nice range there and I liked the tone of your voice. I think it was a nice song and a nice performance, but just fell short of the goal post.
Aiden Grimshaw
I was unsure as to how you as an act was going to react with a theme like Eurovision and I can appreciate that picking a song for you this week was probably fairly difficult. I have to comment on what we seen and whilst it wasn't as bad as some of the performances in the first live show I don't think it was one of the best performances that we've seen. As an act I'm excited by you, however I don't think with the songs you've been given thus far has really been over to show just what and who you are as an act. I hope you're safe tonight as I believe you have more to give so good luck with the voting.

Cascada is an incredible group. I love them ever since ‘Everytime We Touch’ and their style of eurodance. So it was a nice song and I really like how much work your mentor is putting into you. The performance was definitely much better than last week. But, I would have liked to have heard some other female voices in there. What I love about you girls so much is that each of you has a different voice, a different style and I understand that the theme was really restrictive for you but please give us more performances which take advantage of your special qualities because I want you girls to do well.
little Mix
Another great peformance from you girls and I appreciate what Roxie's has said with regards individual qualities and I wil ltry if the next theme allows for something a little different. Based on that performance though I thought the vocals were great. the performance was amazing and your girls sung that song brilliant. Keep LM in - vote for them!
So the four girls pull off doing what they do best once more but will that be enough?
Time for the final performance now and it's from our sing-off survivor.
Closing the show with Romania's entry from 2005, it's Melanie Masson! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGY20O4Z7nM
What an incredible performance Mel! You took an immensely difficult song and gave it your all. Isn’t that what we love about her, that powerhouse voice? I didn’t want any song which didn’t take full advantage of that voice box and this song does. The build up and then that chorus – it was all so explosive! And ‘Let Me Try’ is such a suitable set of lyrics for you. You want to be given a chance to do well. That chorus and then the key change! It was incredible! So full of that Melanie Masson rock spirit and feisty attitude. I love you Mel and I hope the public do too. Also this is what Eurovision symbolizes perfectly – going absolutely mad and giving it everything you’ve got!
Melanie Masson
Melanie, I thought the chorus' were amazing, however the lead in vocal was a little bit on the low side for you. Some of th enotes held were really great, however it was also mixed with some strange and bizarre moments. I enjoyed the majority of the song but I tihnk you are yet to deliver a performance which is sustained a briliant all the way through.
Our mystery judge has commented at last, so I'm gonna post this now before I do anything else.
Mystery Judge's Comments
JLS
Boys this has actually gave me hope for tonight. It was perfect for you and I really enjoyed it. Could have done with some harmonies but overall a good job!!!
Max Vickers
Max that was certainly differnet and I think it worked quite nice for you. Wasn`t as good as last week but you should get through tonight!!!
Ella Henderson
Ella now that was just beautiful.. Absolutely stunning vocals and I love how it built up and you did those amazing high notes. You are one of my favourites!!
Johnny Robinson
OMG Johnny you are the suprise of the competition for me so far. That was amazing, fun, upbeat, mad and just plain glorious. I am loving you in the competition so far. Keep it up!!!
The Reason
I quite liked it boys. No actually I am lying. I thought your voices were really boring and you looked like you didn`t enjoy it. I am really sorry but I really hated it boys!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam Burridge
Adam I liked it and even though I want less boring things for you I thought that it was far too fast and you were struggling to keep up with the music. Your vocals were nice but that is all I can say!!
Melanie McAbe
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Melanie I just can`t get enough of you. That was just beautifully performed and your vocals were stunning. You have impressed me so much in this competition and I can`t wait to see more from you!!!
Rachel Hylton
Now Rachel that is so much better than last week. You didn`t just scream your way through the song, and you just sang beautifully. Thank you so much for improving on last week and I hope to see more improvement!!!
MK1
WOAH!!!! I absolutely loved it MK1. It was a lot better than last week but I don`t know if you will be safe because it has been so good tonight!!!
Aiden Grimshaw
Noooooooooooo what happened to that wonderful Aiden?????? It was really not like you and those vocals were terrible!! I am so gutted about this Aiden, as I know you can do so much better!!!
Little Mix
Girls you have done it again. That was so much fun and energy and those vocals were so powerful and strong between you all. The only thing I want for next week is some more harmonies and show off Leigh-anne`s rapping!!!
Melanie Masson
Melanie not my favourite performance as the vocals were not that good but it was better than some and suited you quite well. Yeah, nice close to the show!!!

So viewers, inbox me your rankings of 12-1 if you want to save your favorites. Judges can vote as well and I'm sure they know the rest. The lines will close 8:15pm where we will have a guest performance and I'm gonna be very nice and say that ONE act will be leaving the competition for good, so don't let that be your favorite. Feel free to talk about tonight's here in the meantime.
Hi everyone - thanks David and Mystery Judge for your comments about Ella and MK1 - I'm glad you enjoyed it. And MK1 are definitely not 1 trick ponies. They did a fun, uptempo version of Where is the Love the first week and then a more rocky, serious performance this week. But I'll try and do more cool stuff with them.
Adam is trying hard - with these songs it's hard to find something to suit him, so give him a chance.
And Mel gave it her all today! That passion was amazing! Who cares if it was a bit mad - Eurovision is meant to be bonkers. She stayed true to the theme.
Also slightly contrary to what I said The Reason I genuinely enjoyed a lot today. They were great. JLS were also amazing. I also really liked Melanie McC...and Johnny was crazy - but I loved it! Great night guys. Also about the Aiden thing - yeah I have no idea how I got confused...:D
Hi guys, sorry I wasn't here. If you saw my post from earlier the power went off in half my house including the WiFi. It's coming back now but I've no time to write any comments but overall I think Johnny was really a stand out performer tonight alongside my own The Reason. I never watch Eurovision as I cannot stand it so I had no clue about songs or whatever and it proved to be much harder of a theme than I thought. I appreciate I'll likely lose Aiden tonight, but I can promise a huge improvement next time around and I hope and pray The Reason stay in too
