Hello and welcome to the Semi Final of NTA6 Mainstream!

This week the final 5 will be performing a song that is in someway Different to a standard album track, and a song that adheres to one of the previously used themes in this competition, in a retrospective theme!

Roxie and P!nk are up next, who have made a massive comeback after their Bottom 2 appearance in Week 2! But will they be able to carry this on and make the final?

Zak and Jennifer Hudson are next to perform, with this live version of an album track, something that has been somewhat of a rarity in Zak's mentoring of JHud

So that's finishes off our Different round, it's now time to take a trip back through the series as the final 5 perform songs of some of the themes that were previously used this series!

And Roxie and P!nk have taken the completely different approach, choosing Pain as their theme!

Heartbreaker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ElEJqc9vc
Note from Roxie:
Pink's most underrated song I feel, it's sad because people barely know this song and they should do...and it suits this theme so well because Pink goes absolutely wild with emotion in this.

The penultimate performance of tonight comes from Zak and Jennifer Hudson, who have chosen Recent and taken the retrospective theme a step further by having a song featuring a previously eliminated Mainstream NTA6 act!

Such a good night, I'm always worried the Different round is going to be a bit of a trainwreck, but it was beautiful <3

And finishing off the semi final we have Aliyah and Bastille, who have chosen Covers as their theme, with a song that's a mixture of two of my favourite things ever <3

Requiem for Blue Jeans

Note from Aliyah:
Cover of Requiem for a Dream merged with Lana Del Reys Blue Jeans.
