Mixed comments from the judges for Stacy tonight. If you want her in the Final make sure you vote for her once the lines are open!

Moving onto our second theme of Get Me To The Final now, and we're going back to the Wildcards and the Quirk from the UK - it's Kitty Brucknell!

*Standing Ovation*

Another stunning vocal and performance from you this evening. You always put so much emotion into the lyrics of the song and this performance was no exception. You are an amazing vocalist and I think the final would be lacking if you weren't there. Not only are you representing the Wild Cards in this competition (and doing Team Quirky proud), but you're also the only UK act standing and as such it needs to be represented in the final round. You have been amazing throughout the competition, shown us so many different sides to you as a performer and people need to continue to support you. If you've liked any of Kitty's performances and want to see her in the final round then please vote for her as no one is safe tonight. Well Done as I said you've done yourself proud tonight and whatever happens you've delivered two different and amazing performances!

Kitty...you have JUST booked your place in the final and your mentor may well have just won the competition from my hands...for the second Series in a row, lol. I was actually waiting to see if your mentor would give you a Florence & The Machine song and it's a cover of what may well be my favorite song from the band. That was absolutely sublime, the chorus moments were out of this world and you were performing like you were a top-class star. Kitty, you have been an early contender and tonight was one of your strongest nights of the Series and I expect you to make the final.

David, high-five mate.

Amazing comments for Kitty! But that doesn't mean she's safe, so make sure you vote for her once the lines are open!

Back to OZ now and the last of the Girls. It's Christina Parie with a song she believes will get her into the final!

You're back with your second performance and on the whole I think it's been a good night for you, I do think that your first performance was a lot better than this one. My thoughts for this is because you're a vocalist with an edge and bite to you and I think that song felt a bit restrictive on the sort of voice you have. It also felt as though it lacked a bit of pinch considering this is a 'Get Me to the Final' song choice. You sung it well and I would be amazed if you're not in the final. I think you have done enough tonight with your first song to secure yourself a place there. Good luck with the results later tonight.

It's nice Tom is giving such constructive critiques

Christina girl, Tom said he wanted you to sing a pop-rock song and this is what we were able to give. Babe, you were singing your heart out, you had fun on stage and you gave everything you could in each section of that song. I will confess, we've had a few bumpy shows but for me and you we have always stuck it out and I thought that this was a strong way to come back and punch your ticket for the final. I really hope the public will vote for you because nobody is safe tonight...and I am so proud of you, girl.

Good comments for Christina's second song but remember that no-one is safe and if you want your favourite in the final you must vote when lines are open!

Going back to the Over 25s now and showing why he wants to be in next week's Final it's Mitchell Callaway!

I think you've had a fairly good night tonight, once again though I think I preferred you first song to this song choice. I found this second song to be a little on the dull side, but you did sing the song well and managed to emote the lyrics very well. You're an odd one for me in this competition and along with Declan probably the biggest shocks that have made it this far. I do think you will make the final and whilst you possibly haven't always been the most consistent, Tom has been good at giving you songs that suit your country roots even in the face of criticisms. Good luck tonight in the voting

*standing ovation and cheering with audience*
Mitchell, you gave us emotion, you gave us power, and I loved it, I really hope we have sealed the deal tonight and you make it through to the final because you deserve it, I loved it, I loved you, so proud! VOTE FOR MITCHELL!
Soppyfan
14-04-2013
Mitchell, I have been very surprised and quite amazed with your stunning progress from show 1 to right now. Between your two songs, I preferred your first performance a lot more because I wasn't totally keen on this song choice and I felt that it lacked that sort of "kick" that you gave with your earlier song. But I feel that whatever happens tonight, you can walk away from this competition and feel mighty proud of yourself. Good luck with the voting and well done on holding your own out there.

Generally good response to Mitchell's second song and remember to vote if you want to see him in next week's Final!

Our penultimate act of the night is from the Wildcards and he's ready to put up a fight to get into the Final - it's Declan Sykes!

Declan Sykes

*Standing Ovation*

I've said it before on another show that the support that you have received over the course of this series has completely amazed me and also given me some confidence in some of my song choices and the performance style. I was 50/50 as to whether or not to pick you for this competition, however I am so glad that I did as you have been simply brilliant from the first live show to this 2nd semi final performance. Last week you took a knock by being in the bottom 2, however tonight you came out fighting and have shown just why you still deserve to be in this competition. The vocals on the second song were great, you have a brilliant, unique style and one that would be missed if you didn't make it to next week's finals. You've represented the Wild Cards and Team Quirky to the max and have been my biggest surprise over the series. As I said in your first performance whatever happens tonight with the results, you've done yourself proud, however if anyone has thought Declan performed well and wants to see him make it to the final then please vote for him (rank him highly ). Either way though you've done a great job tonight.

You know what, it's time he got one from me...

*Standing Ovation*

Declan, it has taken me nearly 8 weeks but finally, you have completely won me over, mate! Placebo is definitely the kind of artist you should look up to for inspiration and ideas on how to make you a top performer. That was a damm terrific song choice by your mentor and for me, you have certainly done well to get this far and this has been a great night for you and what else can I say apart from, your best performance of the Series. Terrific job tonight, Declan.

STEVE GAVE A STANDING OVATION WOOOO!
Great comments for Declan's performance tonight and if you want to see him in the Final make sure you VOTE when the lines open shortly!

To the last act of the night now and a woman who's been amazing the whole competition, make way for the Queen of the USA - it's Stacy Francis!

Stacy Francis
It feels a little odd that for both your performances tonight we've been given reality TV performances of other acts, in a way it feels it knocks away at the originality of you as an act. I think unlike the others this performance was better than you're first and enabled you to get the amazing power of your voice across. However overall for me you are probably the weakest of the final 5 and the least consistent over the last 7 weeks. I've found a lot of your performances quite frustrating in that they sound fairly dated in comparison to the others acts. You clearly have your fans and have got this far with only one bottom 2 performance, however for me I think it would be a bit of a disappointment if you made it into the finals over some of the other acts that are still in the competition. I don't want to be that harsh, but i've got to give my opinon as I see it and that is currently how I feel. Good luck in tonights result and whatever happens you've done well to get this far

*When she hits big notes I go “ooooo baby!” then standing ovation jumping up and down*
OH MY GOD!!! *stands back up and screams* I had goose bumps all through that, you had me on the edge of my seat, the vocals were just OH MY GOD! *shakes head in amazement* WOW, just wow! VOTE FOR STACYY!!!!

14-04-2013
Stacy, I felt that your second song was a little better than your first one even though it was a choice that showed the song being on a real live show but I have to say though for a semi-finalist, these vocals were just not strong enough tonight whereas Mitchell was able to do better than you. I'm sorry to say but I'm afraid that you have had a very bad night and it was one of your weakest nights of the whole Series. Two acts are going tonight and I feel that you are certainly in big trouble.
