Elliot Canavan Doyle

After starting with a really upbeat and jumpy song I decided to slow it down and give you a song that showed off your voice a vocal ability and I think you absolutely nailed the song again! It suits your tone, your style and just everything. Brilliant second performance again

The was a much stronger vocal performance from you. The time did not suit you at some parts but I guess that's because Alex's voice is more mature than yours. But I liked it Elliot, you stripped it down and showed off your voice..(long overdue).. that was nice to hear from you

Elliot Canavan Doyle

That's the Elliot we all know and love again! I absolutely adored that performance, if you told me that you made this record I would have believed you at any rate, as it's a good fit. My only criticism would be that the singer's tone was too mature for you, which is a slight letdown. But don't let that get YOU down, as I'm sure you'll be here next week as you are an amazing performer. Well done!

Great comments for Elliot once again, will he make the final?

Over to the wildcards and ready to earn her place in the final, it's Viktoria Bolonina!

Viktoria Bolonia

This was a nice choice again Viktoria and definately suits your style and that sexiness I love about you. The only problem is that the tone of the singer and yours don't really match that well. But I still quite enjoyed it.

Viktoria Bolonina

All that jazz, you were once again amazing girl! I thought it was time to show off your lower, more jazzy register again as it worked wonders last show. This was absolute class! It was quirky, funny and just plain awesome, just like you. I adored every single second of that, and I really want to see you here next week!

Kuda_Kunaka

I'm not too sure about the sing choice at this stage of the competition.. the tone did not really suit you, but I somehow enjoyed it and I finally felt the sexiness that Jack often talks about.
I think you are in danger though, good luck

Mixed comments for Viktoria, has she done enough to make the final?

Now for the last remaining Over again and with a cover of a famous song, it's Jaz Ellington!

Jaz Ellington

Okay jaz this was decent but again it didn't really blow me away. The singers tone doesn't match yours that well, his voice is rough in areas when he tries and holds long notes whilst with you that doesn't happen. I can see what your mentor was thinking in showing off your vocals but again you haven't had a performance where we can go WOW he nailed it. We've really only had it was okay or decent. If you're here next week we need you to just blow us away as I have constantly said

*STANDING OVATION*

That one was for your fans! Absolutely incredible Jaz! I hope you get the votes tonight as you have claimed your place in this competition. You deserve to be in that final as you did that song justice tonight. Emotional, Soulfull, Fantastic performance. That performance nearly drew me to tears.. you blew me away. Great job!!

Jaz Ellington

I wasn't sure about that Jaz, the singer's tone didn't seem to fit yours at all, which is always a bit of a letdown (I love how the word "tone" appears in almost every comment tonight). I still sort of enjoyed the emotion you showed us during that performance, so props to you for that. However, this performance was a bit too bland for me at times, and I absolutely agree with Jack that you needed a WOW performance tonight. As you didn't have one of those, I think you might be in trouble tonight, so best of luck in the voting.

Mixed comments again for Jaz, but the audience loved it, which side will they choose again?

The penultimate performance comes from the wildcards and ready to give it her all, it's Juliet Simms!

Juliet Simms

*standing ovation*

This has to be your best performance of the series and it was a heck of a night to show it! It suited everything and you put so much raw emotion into it and it just felt magical. Its one of the rare moments where I will give a standing ovation because it was the definition of perfect! Your mentor just... wow. Seriously the first comment on the video is "This actually nearly made me cry, and I have a heart of stone" they put it into word I couldn't. Juliet if you are not in the final next week it is an insult! Beautiful amazing! Just WOW!

*STANDING OVATION*

Juliet, it doesnt happen often, but I felt that! so much! You have really grown on me to become one of my favourites. You didnt have the best start, but you gained your feet throughout that performance. Amazing!

Juliet Simms

*standing ovation*

Who would've thought that YOU would be singing a slow song today? I like how this song showcased your incredible voice, as your voice is truly phenomenal beyond measurements. That performance nearly brought tears to my eyes, as you simply poured your heart into that performance and showed the public your emotions. Not many acts can pull off what you just pulled off, and you should be proud of that. It's been amazing mentoring you, and after what you just did here I'd be crushed if I didn't get the chance to mentor you for one more show. Absolutely amazing!

Soppyfan

25-10-2012

Wow! A standing ovation for Juliet, but she is not safe, she will need your votes!

Now it's time for the final performance of the night, a tough one to follow indeed but closing the show, it's Mackenzie Bourg!

You have definitely done better performances in the past.. the likes of Dearly Loved etc but I honestly didn't feel it tonight for some reason. That was a struggle for me. Good luck tonight, but if you get through, a ballad will do you rightly

Mackenzie Bourg

You did outstanding again Mackenzie! I am still trying to figure what Kuda means as you have performed ballads but acoustic ballads... awkward. This still keeps to your indie magic you've had from the start and gives the amazing ability of showing off you voice! Fantastic

EndOfSanity

25-10-2012

Mackenzie Bourg

Mackenzie, you never cease to amaze me as you just did it again. I've forgotten all about your minor slip-up earlier tonight as this was a much better song choice. I absolutely adore your voice and I simply love listening to anything you sing. (insert a boring but compulsory comment about the tone being slightly off here and another one about how it makes me enjoy the performance a little less). Good luck with the votes, as tonight you'll need them more than ever. Well done on this comeback though!

Soppyfan

25-10-2012

And we finish with much better comments for Mackenzie, we'll see if he makes the final.

So there we have it folks, our famous five have done all they can, let's hope a lot of viewers are on tonight, because the lines are now open!

It's business as usual, send me your rankings of 5-1, judges can vote as well and also rank their own acts, because they will need it since we are just one show away from the Final. Remember, there is no sing-off, it's your votes alone that will decide who which four will make the final, leaving one act that must face the agony of leaving the competition for good, the lines will close at 9:00pm so get your votes in as quick as possible! In the meantime, feel free to discuss about tonight's Semi-Final here.

I think it was a semifinal of highs and lows. Whereas some of the previous shows had no outstanding performances, this one sets the record for some letdowns and some amazing performances. I reckon three acts are in danger tonight (obviously all five are, but I feel that the aforementioned three are in more danger than the other two).

I reckon two acts are safe and three are in trouble, put money on mine leaving

Mackenzie isn't going anywhere, so you'd better put that money on mine leaving...
