Well I have never ate lion and I have no desire to do so!

Anyways, girls, I was imagining the staging in relation to the theme like a jungle theme and using my mind, I can see where your mentor was coming from. I disagree with Roxie slightly, it was a great song and this was a full-on fantastic performance with attack and attitude which I haven't seen from you girls yet, so this was a real treat. I love you girls and I always love seeing what you can do each week.

Fifth Harmony

Girls as you know I love, love, love you and I am a harmonizer. I loved that performance aswell. It suited you very well, and it had the pop/RnB which is what you are. For next week though I would like something similar to what you are releasing. Something like Miss Movin On, and then I will love you even more than I already do. Good job tonight girls!!

Fifth Harmony

It feels like so long ago since I picked this song for you girls! Anyway, I think this once again suits you really well, it kind of synchronizes both the R&B and pop sides of you and it's definitely a song I can imagine you performing and doing a really good job at, and it's similar to the type of music you would release. Well done girls!

Sorry for the delay, there's just so much going on at this exact moment.

Overall pretty good comments for the girls, although Roxie wasn't too keen on the song choice. Do Fifth Harmony have your support tonight?

Next up, it's the girl who survived the bottom 2 not once but twice in a row. She's got a new mentor now, so perhaps that will help her soar to the top. Please give it up for Karoline singing Sugar by Ladytron!

First of all, Ladytron...LOVE!

Anyways, Karoline, you've been a bottom two survivor twice, so this was make or break for you this week and I have to say...that was incredible! The song was so cool and captivating in many parts. Roxie has you mentored so damm well and I feel that this was what was missing from you. I loved it, girl, best performance to date!

Karoline

Karoline tonight you really had to bring it back after 2 weeks in the bottom 2, but unfortunately you didn`t. It sounded nothing like you, and it didn`t suit you at all. Sorry Kaz, but I have to be truthful, and I don`t think there is any way you will survive this week, which is a great shame!!!

I think the others are a bit busy with other games.

Karoline

You've been in the bottom two for two weeks in a row now Karoline, it does feel that you're not connecting with the voter and have hit a brick wall in this competition, and I have to say that sadly, I really didn't like this performance. I can kind of see it working for you in points but as a whole I just really don't see it working, it's very different to what you usually perform and I don't think it suits you very well. Not my favourite performance from you, sorry

Karoline

So Kevin was doing really well giving Karoline darker material to sing. And on the actual show Karoline was doing dance/electric stuff. So I thought to merge the two concepts together and find a song which emulates darkness and was at the same time fairly electric = Ladytron. Ladytron suits you so well girl. The higher pitches sound exactly like you. Not to mention the song is just wonderful. Kevin did so well with you and you were one of my favourites back then – I hope the public loved you as much as I did.

Hi sorry Rick I'm here now.

Oh dear, it seems Karoline has managed to polarize the judging panel, I'm not sure if that was what her mentor hoped to achieve with this performance.

It's time for the penultimate performance of tonight's show. Singing Crystalised by The XX, it's the fabulous Alien Beat Club ladies and gents!

Hi Roxie, are you able to post your own comments from now on too?

Alien Beat Club

This was kind of a risky song choice for you as it's definitely a really indie song and I worry that it won't connect with everyone. However, I really hope it does as I think it really suits you well and is the type of song you should be singing. I hope you get through this week as I love picking songs for you and you definitely deserve it!

Oh my god guys that was AMAZINGGGGGGG. At the start of the competition I thought you were going to be out in the first few weeks, but how wrong I was. That really was great, and it suited you and your voices so well. Really guys, that is the best of the night for me. So impressed by that, and I don`t think you should be worried at all guys!!!

ABC...easy as 123...sorry, I had to get that joke out of the way.

Guys, I could see what your mentor was trying to do, but for me, this song did not work for you and it was certainly out of place compared to your previous performance where they have been quirky and fun. This was slightly dull and I found myself so let down by it all. I have a bad feeling you're gonna be in trouble tonight.

Alien Beats Club:

Wooooo! The XX – a favourite of mine (any clues as to whom I’m going to be mentoring next on NTA??!). Great song – really suits your indie pop style. The only thing is that again it doesn’t really sound like you? I suppose it is very difficult to find songs like these for mixed groups like this one – so I don’t mind so much about that. I just don’t know if the XX particularly suited the range you guys have – I mean they are very niche. Still I liked it.

And just as Niall predicted, the song didn't connect with everyone on the judging panel. We have to look beyond that though, as it's a better question how many members of the DS public the song did connect with.

And so, the show draws to an end. Closing the show tonight, it's the stunning Anna Wilson singing Miss Montreal's I Am Hunter!

Anna Wilson

I really liked this performance Anna! It definitely had that more of an edgy vibe that I wanted to see, but at the same time I think it really suited you and let you embrace your true inner rock chick. I think your mentor is doing a really great job with you Anna, another great performance and great end to the show!

ANNA THAT WAS JUST AMAZING. IT SUITED YOU SOOOOO WELL. Your vocals were just great, and it suited your voice and your style so well. It was standout, and you have proven to everyone why you should be here still. So happy you got to close the show, and I really hope the public vote you into the final 6 because I really don`t want to lose you at this stage. You have so much more to give!!

Anna, like my boy, you're the last remaining act in the category, but it's easy to see why. The song was a great performance, it had a touch of rock that I love and you owned that stage. My only concern is that after all of these performances, will the public still be able to back you to the next show? I can only hope that they will. For now, a great way to close the show. Nicely done.

I listened to that Radioactive performance and it was just so explosively wonderful. This was quite nice too. It’s a great song. Does it match your vocal? I thought it did quite nicely. I would have liked to hear the higher range you have too because that’s really nice. I did think it was too soft for someone who rocked out Radioactive but I really did enjoy Penguin – great stuff.

Sorry about being late (emotional in XF vs The Voice).

And we close the show with good comments for Anna, will she and her mentor Pingu hang on for another week?

Summary post should be up in 5.

That's it then ladies and gentlemen. All 8 remaining acts have sung and now it's up to you to vote for them. I can't stress enough that tonight is a really important night. Not one but two acts will be leaving us tonight, so make sure your favourites aren't among the two whose journey will end tonight!

Here's a reminder of all the acts that performed tonight:

Spoiler

To vote, please rank all the acts that have performed tonight from 8 all the way down to to 1, assigning 8 points to your favourite act, down to just 1 point for your least favorite act. Mentors can vote as well, and they are also allowed (and encouraged) to vote for their own acts. Just send me your rankings in a PM and I will add them to the scoreboard.

The lines will remain open until 21:00, with the results taking place at 21:05 on this thread. That gives you about 1 hour and 20 minutes to vote, so please make use of that time and vote to save your favourites!

As always, feel free to discuss the show on this thread with me and the judges.
