DS Next Top Artist Series 4: The Heats
Welcome to the heats of DS Next Top Artist! Here, 25 acts will complete for 20 spots in the first round of the show. As you've probably noticed, your host, the sexy cheekypeter, couldn't be here tonight so unfortunately you're stuck with me!
There will be 5 groups of 5 acts, each competing against each act in their own heat. They are singing two songs each, one from their back catalogue and one imagined song. I'm going to post the rounds in full, and then I'll follow up with the voting details. But first, here are the 25 acts we have competing and their mentors! HEAT 1 Hayley Williams (Tyjet) Malin Dahlström i.e. Niki & The Dove (Dylan) Alabama Shakes (Niall) Carrie Underwood (Stacey) Dillon (Amroussi) HEAT 2 Emili Sande (Soapdoctor) The Horrors (Gav) James Blake (Seth) Ani Difranco (Kevin) Fun (Justin) HEAT 3 One Night Only (Jordan) Kate Nash (Jess) Maccabees (Alib) Pernilla Rosendahl (Carly) Vampire weekend (Aliyah) HEAT 4 Boy (Louise) Jonsi (Luke) The Strange Familiar (Hannah) Earlyrise (Robbie) Lena (Ana) HEAT 5 Elliot Minor (Bexmil) Morgan Kibby (Sacred Diablo) Eisley (Alex) Charice (Naruto) Grace Potter (Zak) So, let's begin! |

and just as an aside, I will be submitting my vote to Pete (so he has proof of mine) in about 10 minutes so everything is fair and above board and I won't look at any of your votes until after then.

Just sent in my vote. Lots of very strong acts! Songs that stood out to me were James Blake's imagined and Eisley's original. Loved them... Oh, and Jonsi's original too. Loved that!

Just properly listened to everything, and woah, voting was so difficult! So much stuff I loved. My standouts are probably Malin Dahlstrom, Dillon, Boy, Lena & Vampire Weekend but in every heat there were 3 or 4 songs I loved! Also, very glad I'm not in heat 3, voting on that was near impossible!

![]() Thanks for all the votes so far everyone! Just a note about the results. I'll be revealing the finishing order of each heat, as well as percentages. And if it's okay with Pete, I'll also be revealing the rankings each act got in this form: Eg: Boy (3, 1, 3, 4, 5, 2) so I won't know anything more than you guys, except who actually voted what, which people can reveal if they so wish! Keep voting
