Marcus: You were probably the easiest to pick a song for tonight because as I've said before, you're SO versatile and you can sing near enough anything. That song, surprisingly to me as well as the other judges, suited your voice very, very well and that was easily one of my favourite performances of the night!

It is not a secret Metric are one of my favourite bands of all time. But honestly, I didn't really feel this song choice for you a whole lot. There are soo many amazing Metric song choices, which I believe would've suited you a whole lot more. But, with what you did have, you did a great job with it. And if you survive this week, just up it a bit please.

Hollie: I loved that, Hollie! You're definitely an under-appreciated talent and I think that if you're given the right songs you could really shine! Your voice has a really nice edge to it that I think suits these kind of songs perfectly, so I hope you grow as an artist and continue to impress!

That indie route has been taken so many times that I definitely plan on mixing it up a bit with you and take you down a very differen route to perhaps what is expected!! This song jumped out as being a fun, up-tempo hit which really steers you down the direction that I want to take with you and I love how you sound singing these types of songs. You have a brilliant voice and I hope you are safe after that performance because that was great!

Hollie: I absolutely loved your audition of "Creep" for the RL show, so I for one am really excited to see you in this competition. I think that Metric is the perfect genre to give your voice, and this performance was a real winner. I think, like Marcus, that this wasn't you at your best. Never the less, you did impress Well done, Hollie, and a great vocal tonight.
Pretty good comments there Hollie. Last of Jag02010's Groups now and singing Contact High by Adventure in Helsinki are a group who we haven't actually seen on screen! It's V-Box!

(I don't know the member names, but the two leads - blonde girl and that guy who sings - split the lead vocals, they harmonize the synth solo along with the synths)

V–Box: Guys, you know, you have the biggest challenge of everyone in this competition: you're the act that people will know the LEAST. I have to say, I wasn't very keen on the song choice. I think it was a bit...weird and everything just seemed a bit disjointed to me. I'm just a little disappointed because I think that this theme should have been great for you.
V Box
So hi V Box, another DS game virgin, if I am correct. Honestly, this performance fell a little short, of what I expected from you. I do think the fact that you were so unknown, just drew me into you alot. But this just didn't hit it completly. But honestly, I think I put the bar well too high, because, although not as good as would've liked. I did like it alot.

V-Box: Guys and girl, that was such a fun performance! I think you are a very versatile act, and while this isn't necessarily the direction I plan to take you on, I think it was the best performance given the circumstances, theme, and options we had available to us. I think that you gell really well together and I hope that the public sees the same potential that I see in you and keeps you in for the long run. I really think we have a lot more to grow, but I am excited to have you on the team here to impress. Well done!
V-Box
You guys are like the new kids on the block! This was a poor performance, if I am going to be brutally honest! I didn't really ~feel~ it and because of your lack of status I just can't see you developing much of a fanbase! I hope that you can recover and show us what you are made of because hopefully there will be some much stronger songs from you!

Mixed comments there for V Box. Last of the Boys and Tyjet now, who is delivering the penultimate performance of the night?
Ok, it's time for my final boy of the night! Singing an absolute CLASSIC, it's Daniel Fox!

Daniel
So, looking through the song list, I really couldn't wait to hear this song. I was actually so excited, becuase I honestly think it suits you quite a lot really. But, the quality in this show, has seriously been so high. A lot higher than I would've expected. I really want to vote this high, but just it didn't come near some performances so far. But, I still loved it, so wont be down bottom

Daniel: Daniel... to say I am confused right now is a vast understatement. I really don't know what inspired that song choice! It seems so out of your comfort zone and so out of the direction that you should be going in. You have such an operatic tone and a large range that giving you a Disney song seems really out of place to me. I can't really find any positives about that, because quite honestly, I think that song was just really not good for you at all. I'm sorry, and I really wanted to like you, but I think you could be in some serious trouble tonight.
Daniel Fox
Oh, Daniel.
This is such a Nicolo moment from What DS Wanted earlier in the year!! So much potential wasted, if I am going to be honest. I think it's pretty obvious that David appears to be turning you in to a novelty act and that is really unfortunate because you are SO much better than that!! I hope that, if you get through tonight, he will turn you away from this novelty idea because I think you could be a contender given the right song choices.

Daniel: I'm sure this is going to get some VERY mixed reviews, but honestly, it doesn't matter because this song suited you brilliantly. Yes, you have an operatic tone, but I don't want to give you operatic songs non stop because that would be incredibly boring. However, I don't want to turn you into a novelty act and, should you stay tonight, people will get a better idea of the direction I'm taking you (& hopefully start to like it!) next show.
Not so great comments Daniel but I enjoyed it! Let's hope the public did too. Time to round off a night of great performaces, who is closing the show for you DylanPartyon and the Girls?
OK, so closing the show, it is the wonderful Holly with Pharoes by SBTRTK and Roses Gabor - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=menq51AQDIc
I am officially back now 
Holly
Holly, that was really fun! I don't think that song really expressed your vocals very well (well, at least until the end), but what it lacked in vocal challenge was an overwhelming abundance of pleasant tone and charisma. I liked this song for you. I think it was a great first step in the competition, an I think that overall, you closed off a phenomenal evening. Good luck to you, and well done.

That is how you close a show. That was just faboulous Holly. I think this show, allowed you to be fun and fast, yet show of your vocals, and also keep that kinda inocience you have when you perform usually. I just adored this so much, and I hope everyone did aswell

Holly: I loved this, weirdly! On paper I was expecting to seriously dislike it, but it was actually very good. Fantastic way to close the show, well done!
Holly Repton
I'm quite disappointed that I didn't like this, actually. I really loved Holly's audition and am hoping she's here for the long haul but I don't think tonights song was very good. Sorry, Dylan. I can see what you were trying to do, but for me it just wasn't working. It wasn't very you, in my opinion. You have such a beautiful jazzy tone it'd be a shame to lose you tonight.
