George isn't here but I have his comments and our mystery judge has commented on the performances too, no sign of Roxie yet.
We'll start with the 2010 class and opening the show with his last request (shouldn't that be first?), it's Aiden Grimshaw! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN6n-lJyv-A |

Aiden Grimshaw
Congratulations on kicking off the second series of Battle of the Seasons! As an act I really like you and think you have a fantastic tone to your voice; you always put so much emotion and passion into what you sing and I think that is what makes you great as an act. As a song choice I thought it was ok, however personally I would've liked to have seen something a little more edgy and something with a bit more grit in it. I have no doubt you will go far in this competition, so it will be good to see what Jack does with you in future shows. Well done on a good first performance. |

Aiden Grimshaw
Aiden, it wasn’t exactly a big risk or anything but I felt for the first show we just needed to show everybody what you are capable of and how great your voice is and that performance did just that. So great job, well done! |

Mystery Judge's Comment: George's CommentAiden Quite a nice start to the show. A bit boring but it was emotional and suited you really well. This is quite promising and in the future I want performances as good as that. Well done, I am looking forward to more of you in this game, and I think you will be an underdog in this competition!!! Aiden: I really like this song and I thought your performance was beautiful. You really bought out all your emotion and passion for the piece so a massive well done to you. |

So we begin with a great reception for Aiden, a great way to start the show.
Next up is the first of the 2008 class and she's got love on top (Oooh-errr), it's Alexandra Burke! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPaD513xWOY |

Alexandra Burke
Alex, that was a great performance! Like with Aiden, you went for something that wasn’t a big risk but definitely showed off your voice well. The only gripe I have is that it wasn’t quite in your tone so you should have a look into that for next time but apart from that good job! |

Alexandra Burke
Hmmm I'm in two minds about that performance on one hand it showed off your voice, on the other hand it was basically a karaoke performance of Beyonce. If you've got an act who has similar styles to Beyonce, you don't give her Beyonce to sing. It's like giving Union J a One Direction song. So overall it was an ok first performance but for future shows it may be better to try and think of something more original/ different than going for something which is going to draw comparisons to the original. |

Mystery Judge's Comment: George's CommentAlexandra Talk about predictable. Beyonce. Really? Alexandra dueted with her on the show and she is exactly like her. Really dissapointed with this and you are in trouble. If you are here next week...less predictable please!!! Alexandra: Alex, you rocked. Beyonce is definitely your style, and it may have come across as a predictable choice, but there is no denying that it was a great performance. |

So Alexandra has divided the panel, only the public will tell us which side they're on.
Now for the first of 2012 class and tonight, she is fallin' over with this song, it's Melanie Masson! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E2b4ytQcxM |

Melanie Masson
The first few seconds; absolutely wow and then I found it kind of peaked after the first verse and then I felt it went a slightly bit repetitive and you weren't able to show off your amazing voice again. It was a good first performance but feel with this theme being so open it would've been nice to get your vocals into something edgier, rockier and enabled you to basically show off the power of your voice. Well done, but hopefully you'll do something in that vein in the next show |

Melanie Masson
Melanie, that was great! Your voice really shone tonight without going for an obvious rock song. Melanie has won a competition recently, and when I mentored her on XF vs The Voice she ended up 14th going out in Week 1, so I’m interested to see how this goes. Good job! |

Mystery Judge's Comment: George's CommentMelanie Masson It was....ok Melanie. It didn`t sound like you but I could imagine you singing this and the vocals were really nice. I don`t know if you are safe but I hope you are because I can see good things from you in this competition!! Melanie: Oh My Gosh, that was amazing. I definitely wasn't expecting that on the first live show, honey it was great. |

So it turned out to pay off for Melanie, well done to her.
Next is the first of the 2011 class, they recently won Back To Basics Series 2 but are looking for another win! It's those four muffins, Little Mix! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McdqerXrwXE |

Little Mix
Girls, I’m not really sold on this one. It didn’t really show off your vocals too well, despite suiting you but there wasn’t much variation at all. I’d like to see you try and do something where the tone changes throughout and we can have a better sample of your voice. But in these games, Little Mix always seem to get better throughout so let’s see what happens later in the competition. |

Mystery Judge's Comment: George's CommentLittle Mix Now that is more like it girls. Loved it and those harmonies were brilliant. Really liked it and I love you girls. Definitely the best by far so far. For next week I would like to see a bit of Leigh`s rapping as that would be nice but great job tonight!!! Little Mix: I thought this was an average performance, nothing special. But a good attempt., but not up to the spectacular standard I was expecting |

Oooh, it's mixed comments for Little Mix, but they have defied odds before.
So now we'll wind back to 2008 and with a cover that is a mash-up of two songs, it's Eoghan Quigg! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ZyM0-_Jn0 |

Little Mix
A Great first performance from you girls and one that showed off your performance skills and showcased you individually as well. There is plenty of time to show an acts versatility throughout these competitions and as first performances it was strong and was something very much in your domain. Individually you have great voices; ogether you have amazing voices, I hope people ge behind you this eveni vote you through

Eoghan Quigg
I'm all for taking risks but aside from the rapping issues (as it was just uncomfortable to experience), I just don't think you have the vocal ability to pull off the highs of that song. I appreciate that your mentor was trying to do something a bit different with you, but I really don't think it worked and at times it was verging on a bit car crash territory for me. Good luck in the voting tonight. |

Mystery Judge's Comment: George's CommentEoghan Eoghan that was ok until the bits where it was a slow sort of rapping. I just didn`t think parts of the song suited you and I don`t think the mash up worked well for me. The vocals weren`t that great and overall I think it was a quite bad performance. Sorry, but it`s the truth!! Eoghan: Great performance man, but this is by far not the best. I have a lot of ideas for you, so I really hope you stick around for a while |

Eoghan Quigg
Eoghan, that is how you do it! That was really good for a Week 1 performance. I think you showed off your vocals perfectly, really impressive. Good use of the mash-up too, but it was a bit strange just in the link as the beat changed completely. Apart from that good job! |

So it's mostly mixed comments for Eoghan Quigg, can he turn it around next time or will he be in trouble?
Now for the 2012 class and she's singing about someone she used to know (break-ups, eh?), it's Ella Henderson! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_PPn91OgQ |
