The Estrelles and Princes & Rogues

That was absolutely brilliant you two, girls your harmonies shone in particular on the first track as you felt so tight and I loved the idea of Gemma taking lead and the other girls harmonizing in support of her. Similarly, guys you did a fantastic job, I liked the contrast between the first song which was a bit more fun and carefree and the much more romantic influenced second track which felt much more like a love song, I also liked how the group harmonies during the chorus were so tight that it felt like you were one really large group, overall two amazing performances and I certainly hope that you aren't going anywhere in this competition for a while.

The Estrelles and Princes & Rogues

First up tonight and what a brilliant duet. Estrelles, I've been a big fan of you girls and once again delivered in style. Princes & Rouges, you also did a great job with the song you had. The third performance of you both together was fantastic, it's only the start but I think the others have got a very challenging night to try and beat those performances.

That was absolutely electric you two, particularly on the first song you could have cut the tension with a knife, there was so much chemistry between you as performers. Again, I loved the slight contast between the two performances, the second was absolutely great as it had that romantic feel to it and I thought that your harmonies came across great in it but I also loved how the first song was slightly more theatrical and there was a more expressionist feel to the performances, I think you both have great individuality and thankfully me and Jess were both able to find songs that showed that, well done, you did absolutely brilliantly!

Well guys, I have to say, you make a very impressive duet together, more than I thought. Your first song had quite a storytelling performance and the way you sung that song was very clever. Your second song however was like a proper duet love song and I like that song a lot. I think you're both gonna go very far in the competition, so well done to you both, great job.

Hannah and James

Wow, you were fantastic, again a big contrast between both performances, one of them (Roslyn) was much more intimate and private and there was a distinct chemistry between you, I loved how your voices merged together beautifully but obviously, in the performance that Bazz arranged, it was much more upbeat which was great to see, it showed that you are both versatile performers as you can go from a very intimate, mellow setting to a much more upbeat and uptempo setting with ease. Guys, tonight is going to be so hard but all I can say is good luck!

Hannah & James

I think this is gonna be a tough night for the public, because this was quite a good duet I saw there. Your first song was fantastic, I know the song so well and I've seen it covered by many acts who take part in these games, but I must say, this was one of the better duet covers I've seen for a while. Your second song had quite a good set of emotion and it was different to what you normally do as soloists, but I will suggest that you keep what you're doing, cause your mentors are doing a very good with you two.

Nathalie and Elesha

These were great girls, there was so much attitude in both of those performances which naturally comes with diva style songs and I have to confess that I was nervous about not making you two appear to be very one-dimensional and predictable but both songs allowed you to show different styles and really displayed that as well as being powerful vocalists, you're also great at holding your voices back and showing the more vulnerable side of your vocal talents, really well done girls, both of these performances were great!

Elesha & Nathalie

Woah girls, you are two great divas! The first one had a lot of soul and smoothness, it got me grooving slowly and i like it when I get that vibe. Loved that one! Your second one had a nice combo of slow Jazz and some good moments within the performance. It was almost as good as what I've seen so far, but I wish you both the best of luck tonight.

Ethan and Stacey:

Hi guys, these performances were both okay but I don't know, they felt just okay. I think they were both quite generic and I would have liked a more genre specific song choice, maybe one more styled towards Stacey with an Ethan-esque cover and then one more Ethan styled with a Stacey-esque cover, for example the first one had a very deep female vocalist which didn't suit Stacey particularly well. I don't want to be overly critical as I understand it was hard for everyone to match acts vocally but I feel like although the second song was better, I just wasn't blown away. Good luck all the same Stacey and Ethan!

Stacey & Ethan

Hey there you two. I know your mentor chose both of these songs, but I believe he did a great job with both of these choices, cause you both used your voices really well. I'm not a Glee fan at all, but I did enjoy that version of the song you both did, so that was good. Your second song however was a lot better and I loved the dancing you had going there. I think your mentor should be proud of you both tonight, well done Ethan & Stacey.
