Stephen said he would be taking a risk with you, and I think the risk paid off! Of course there were some flaws like your tone not fitting the song perfectly, but hey, there were a lot of good things about this performance too. It was very theatrical and fun, something that's typically you. You had me swinging in my chair throughout the entire performance, I really liked it Kitty! Well done and I hope the public agree with me.

Kitty

Oh, Kitty girl. This is exactly what I call a performance. The soulful and jazzy element you added to the song was amazing. You made that song so different to the original by Eric, and it seemed as though the song could have been written for you. The start of the song was amazing because it was all about the strong powerful vocals, then came the second half where you had full control over the party which happened on the stage. That was a strong and commanding performance. I hope everyone grows to love and support a raw talent like yours Kitty. And if I am allowed I want to continue to show your talent and make sure you are never considered as a joke act anywhere again.

Kitty, that was a lot better than I expected it to be. It was a great cover to use, the vocals were great.

An amazing performance and great comments for Kitty's the Overs are on fire tonight!

Back to the 2012 class once again and with a cover of Germany's entry from this year, it's District 3!

What a great performance lads! Your vocals were spot on and you always give one hundred percent in each performance. We took a risk this week and hopefully it will pay off! We didn't go typical boy band do boy band, so great job.

District 3
For some reason I was expecting to hate this song choice, but I actually really liked it. Naruto really understands you as a group, it was very easy to imagine you singing this song in this version. Your vocals were on point, and there's really not much else to say about this performance. Well done guys, you shouldn't worry about being in the bottom three tonight.

District 3

Hmmmmm, guys I am sorta on the fence about this performance. Vocally there was nothing I could really fault, but the style of the song was a weird choice from your mentor. This is not the style of song I would expect from a group like you guys. I know it was a hard theme to find the perfect song choice for you guys with the theme, but I am sure you guys will definitely be back for the next show.

District3

I'll be honest, I didn't like it. The vocals weren't on the same level of the other contestants tonight.

01-12-2012
So it's mixed comments overall for District 3, can they make it to next week?

We're halfway through tonight now and time for the '10 class, with a cover of Sweden's entry from this year, it's Cher Lloyd!

I was really nervous for you tonight Cher, but I think you really pulled it off. It was beautiful, and I hope the other judges agree with me.

Cher Lloyd
I didn't really get this song choice Cher. I can imagine that it was very difficult for your mentor to find a good song for you, but I don't think he got it quite right with this one. I couldn't really relate this version of this specific song to your voice very well, and although I think I see what Ryan was trying to do here it didn't really work for me. If the public agree with me, you could be in serious danger tonight, but I hope they take the difficulty of the theme into account as you are actually an amazing act that definitely deserves to be in the next live show.

Cher

Cher when your mentor said he was taking a risk with you I have to be honest and say I was secretly hoping for more from you. You have the potential to be great but I felt a little disappointed by the song choice. The performance was very sweet which for me isn’t really Cher style. I was wanting to see if your mentor would have taken a bigger risk with a song like Teenage-Life or something like that lol .

Cher Lloyd
I thought this was a good performance Cher. It wasnt as good as I was expecting. The only problem I had was with the arrangement. I hoped you had a tempo or a bass with it, as it was quite slow at times. I'm not too sure on whether it worked or not, i am afraid.

01-12-2012
I'm relieved that the link is working for you judges, because it's not working on my end.
Anyways, it's mixed comments overall for Cher, could she be in trouble?

Now for the 2011 class again and with a different arrangement of UK's entry from 2009, it's Jade Richards!

Jade Richards
That was quite a nice performance from you Jade, your mentor knows what songs to pick for you. However, I would like you to make more use of your husky tone in future performances, as I thought that this performance was lacking that spark you bring to the table when you sing. It was a nice vocal though, but how long will 'nice vocals' take you in this competition?

Jade

Oh Jade that was an absolute beauty of a performance, but that moonlight serenade mix of this song was just perfect for you. It allows that beautiful soulful voice of yours to shine like the brightest star in the night sky. Jade, this was a risky song choice as the original version is such a huge power ballads and I know you were fearful of fulfilling the power element of the song, but with the addition of the acoustic guitar it meant that you didn’t have to shout or belt your way through the song. Jade all I can say is that, I hope the public love what I am doing with you in this show and will continue to support you and guide you through to the next show.

Jade Richards
You have awesome vocals no doubt and that song proved that further. I didn't think it was your best performance or of the night, but i thought it was a solid effort for a difficult theme for your genre.

I'm sorry, Jade, I don't get what your mentor was trying to do when they gave you that song.

01-12-2012
So it's good comments overall for Jade, but will that be enough for tonight?

Now for the last 2012 class performance, with Hungary's entry from 2011, it's Carolynne Poole!

Carolynne Poole
The vocals were quite good Carolynne, but that was about the only thing I liked about this song choice. First of all, the arrangement was (although it was already slowed down a little) too upbeat for you in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should only be singing downbeat songs, I'm just saying that performing 'cheesy' upbeat pop songs isn't really your thing. However, the theme is the main cause of that problem, so overall I think you did the best you could considering this week's restrictions.

Carolynne

I am sort of on the fence about this performance tonight Carolynne. I absolutely loved the beginning of the song (literally the first few seconds) , but when the song properly kicked in it just felt as though you were trying to be something else rather than yourself tonight. I just felt the club style of song was a bit weird for you, I really hope the public will disagree with me and vote you through but I would love you to go back to your roots and sing something with a country twang to it.

Wow!!! That was an amazing performance Carolynne! It was superbly sung and you sung for your life. You didn't go predictable and it was stunning! I hope you get the votes as you deserve them!

It was quite hard to find a country song, but I promise that she will go back to her normal style. It was just the theme, that was in the way.
