That was wonderful vocally - so full of passion and I liked it when you held those long notes. The singing was amazing. HOWEVER, this type of song was quite predictable and I would have preferred you to have taken a risk and done something that nobody would have expected. Also it did seem a bit cruise ship so try your best to make it seem more current.
You and Union J are in completely different genres of music. In one way I don't feel the song and the version suited your vocals but I am tempted to look past that because otherwise your performance was incredible. Wonderful singing, vocally it was great.
Max I quite liked it. It was emotional with nice vocals, but it was a bit...hmmmmmm for me, as it wasn`t that interesting. Nowhere near the best or worst but good job!!!
George's Comment
Max: I'm slightly obsessed with this performance. It was emotive and moving so well done
Jacka's Comment
Max Vickers
Max, that was fantastic! Great cover and a great performance from you. I was really interested the full song and completely connected with you. I really believed what you were singing too, which was great! Well done Mr Vickers!
Max Vickers
When I was picking the acts to represent series 8 and be on my team I was struck by just how much emotion you put into the lyrics when you sing. That performance was no exception and you sung the hell out of that song. The vocals were amazing and you put so much depth into your singing. I hope that the public feel the same way and get behind you in the voting tonight. Well Done on a fantastic first performance!
That was lovely. Vocally that was great - I loved the range you showed straight off from the start and I really felt those lyrics. However, the song didn't really go anywhere else, it was at the same level throughout. There needs to be more interesting things vocally. Otherwise I liked it. Well done.
Katie Waissel
I think as a whole that worked as a song choice, however my only concern is that I just don't think you have the power or strength in your voice to carry off some of those vocals. The one thing that I did like is that you have a very distinctive tone to your voice and its one that I think could do well. I'm not going to say it was an excellent first performance and compared to some this evening I think yours was probably middle of the pack
When I saw the title I thought oh no here we go......but I really liked it. It suits you, and the vocals were really nice. You are controversial, and I didn`t like you on the show but I hope that doesn`t affect you!!!
George's Comment
Katie: I really liked this. It suited your voice and your vocals really pulled it off
Jacka's Comment
Katie Waissel
Katie, you were actually really good tonight! That showed us just why you deserved to be picked for the show back in 2010 and why you deserve a place in the show now! Great vocals which are severely discarded by people but remember, this girl can SING!
I actually like you the most out of the '10 group as you have such a chirpy and bubbly personality. However I don't feel that song suited your more breathy, raspy vocals which are capable of singing classic rock songs like 'Help'. I want something a bit more edgy with you. It was too clean (if you know what I meant for me) and also this song has been done to death by loads of people on the XF - Adam, Jahmene, Lucy have all done it...
That was not very good Rachel. I just felt you were screaming and not singing. I understand you are a loud singer, but that doesn`t mean that`s all you can do. If you are here next week a bit less predictable please!!!
George's Comment
Rachel: Your voice was powerful, strong and I am so glad I picked you on my team. Your performance was full of emotion and passion
Jacka's Comment
Rachel Hylton
Wow Rachel, that was fantastic! A Christina cover done to such a high standard and when that beat picked up you really showed off your voice in a great way. Your mentor should be really proud because that was great!
Rachel Hylton
Similarly with the whole JLS thing, I kind of feel the same with this performance as well. I think Rachel has got a great voice but in these types of games I don't want to see another reality tv performance of how another act would interpret/ sing a song. On one hand Rachel would've sung the song well as she has got great power, but I just want something that is a bit more original - even a cover version would've been better.
I really thought you were great on the main show...you and Ruth deserved to get so much further - so unfair.:mad:
Anyway rant over, the song really suited those soulful vocals. I really felt the song...you just brought it all to us. It was mesmerizing! I just want to sit in a concert and listen to your vocal all day. That voice is incredible - your mentor did a great job. Really good song choice!
And again the judges are divided...this is becoming quite funny.:D
Predictable - YES!!! Do I llike it? - YES!!! Even though it was predictable I really liked it. The vocals were great and I loved Charlie`s voice the most. It was a nice close to the show, and I want a lot more from you!!!
George's Comment
MK1: I love this song. You guys are cool and representation for today's music and unlike most chart toppers you can actually sing.
Jacka's Comment
MK1
And that is how to close a show! Well done guys, that song’s so suited to the two of you as you both get a chance to show off your vocals and abilities. Great job and you’re obviously going to be back next week.
MK1
I thought that was a good song choice for you and one which abled to show off the different sides of MK1 as an act. I think you'll be an interesting act going forward in this competition and its going to be interesting to see how you are adapted to the various themes which will be thrown at us. Overall a good first performance from you guys well done to you and your mentor.
It's my funky urban duo! I love you guys. You are so original. You are a breath of fresh air over this competition full of pop, rock and soul acts - there's hardly any hip hop! If anything, you keep the dynamic of this group of contestants interesting. I've got some great songs lined up for you too! If you want to see these gems people then make sure to keep them in - I've got some really good songs! And that was such a good performance - well done guys. You did great!
I'm so happy people enjoyed that performance! Yay other judges.:cool:
So we close with great comments for MK1, can they go far on yet another game?
So ladies and gentleman, that is your lot! All of our 16 acts have performed and guess what?
It's time for you viewers to have YOUR say because the lines are now OPEN!
Here is a reminder of all of tonight's performances:
Jesy
I can see you stalking like a predator, I've been here before
Temptation calls like Adam to the apple but I will not be caught'
Leigh-Anne
Cause I can read those velvet eyes and all I see is lies
No more poison killing my emotion
All
I will not be frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop, stop praying 'cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Perri
Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope, all I've got's the floor
Yeah, you can try but I've found the antidote, music is the cure
So you can try to paralyze but I know best this time
All
No more poison killing my emotion
I will not be frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop stop praying 'cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Jesy
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Jade
And when the music fades away I know I'll be okay
Contagious rhythms in my brain, let it play
Perri
No more poison killing my emotion
I will not be frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop, stop praying 'cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen, dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
All
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Move while you're watching me, dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy oh, uh, oh, uh, oh
Nathan:
I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
All:
What didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all.
Glenn:
Love will scar your make-up lip sticks to me
So now I maybe lean back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to.
Scott:
But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Marc:
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me.
Should I, should I?
All:
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love
Scott:
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I got no plans for the weekend
So should we speak then
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.
Glenn:
There may be other people like us
Who see the flicker of the clipper when they light up
Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before
And you don't hold me anymore.
Nathan:
On cold days cold plays out like the band's name
I know I can't heal things with a hand shake
You know I can't change as I began saying
You cut me wide open like landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make.
All:
Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.
So folks if you wish to vote, inbox me your rankings of 16-1 (16-best 1-worst), judges can vote and also vote for their own acts. (I've already got George's and Jacka's votes.)
The lines will close at 8:05pm where tonight and this is the moment the judges have dreaded...here comes the twist!
*TWIST*
Tonight...it's going to be a QUADRUPLE ELIMINATION...yes folks, you heard me...FOUR acts are leaving the competition tonight for good after just one performance. So you REALLY have to vote if you want to save your favorites.
In the meantime, feel free to discuss about tonight's show here!

That was wonderful vocally - so full of passion and I liked it when you held those long notes. The singing was amazing. HOWEVER, this type of song was quite predictable and I would have preferred you to have taken a risk and done something that nobody would have expected. Also it did seem a bit cruise ship so try your best to make it seem more current.
...and you shall reply Soppyfan? :cool:
JLS
You and Union J are in completely different genres of music. In one way I don't feel the song and the version suited your vocals but I am tempted to look past that because otherwise your performance was incredible. Wonderful singing, vocally it was great.
So the panel gets divided with JLS's performance, which side will the public choose?
Round the block one more time with the 2011 class and he's looking for disclosure, it's Max Vickers!
