Sam and Nicole - Awful
I thought it was terrible. It's an absolutely huge song that needs to be belted out with a huge, huge powerful voice. Nicole did exactly this, however it was uncomfortable to watch as you could clearly see her straining to belt it out. Then you had Sam, who I'm sorry to say, doesn't have a big enough vouce for the song and it showed. Such a bad song choice and bad decision to have them sing together. It seems they're desperate to recreate the Beyonce and Alexandra moment which is just not going to happen.

Just to add, the performance was also all about Nicole. Was ridiculous.

Nicole obliterated Sam in that. I just find it funny how people here thought that Sam would sing circles around Nicole when it was actually the other way. Nicole is Queen.
And it did sound odd...I think someone messed up with the mics. It doesn't change the fact that Nicole stole the show tonight. The only reason to be watching really. |

Nicole is getting a lot of stick for it.
It was going well when Nicole was singing but when she screamed that horrendous note it was just....oh christ. Awful. Nicole ruined it. |

Since you're always bragging about what a professional singer you are. Nicole also seems to be getting a lot of love outside of this forum.

They won't replicate the Alexandra & Beyoncé moment, I think that was a one of the defining moments in the entire show's history.
They have come quite close with Matt and Rihanna and a couple of others but those were just decent duets and nothing on the level of Listen. Sam and Nicole didn't work because it was so mismatched. Nicole has outstanding vocals and she just commanded the song. Sam Bailey has near zero stage presence and it didn't help that her vocals could not match Nicole's. |

There was one note when it was sounding amazing and the Nicole like tried to go up further and it just went completely off, but then I was distracted by "YO EDWARD" or something. I have to say though, Nicole can SAAAANNGG!

I like Nicole, but I was disappointed in her last night. The celebrity duettist's role should be to showcase the contestant, not to showcase him-/herself. A more generous performer - like, surprisingly enough, Robbie Williams in past series - would dial it back and let the contestant shine. Also, Nicole sang louder, but not better, than Sam.

I love Nicole, but she didn't do Sam B's performance any good to be honest, considering she outsang Sam B. A duet is meant to be about singing with each other, not outsinging another. I personally do not like judges singing with acts anyway. |

I did think it was funny how you and a bunch of others were saying what a boring duet partner...Sam's going to outsing Nicole easily.
And then look what happens. ![]() But, the one thing that stood out was that she seemed almost desperate to prove she was better, and then went ridiculously out of tune on one big note, and it just fell apart. My favourite part of the song was actually the first 30 seconds when Sam was singing. Controlled and in tune. It was fantastic! |

The funny thing is, Nicole was actually holding back in that duet. Watch her opera stuff with Andrew Lloyd Webber to get the full scope of her voice. Her vocal range is seriously impressive.

The truth is Sam couldn't keep up with Nicole. |

Completely agree. But i still stick by my original thoughts, the arrangement should've gave sam a bit more of the bigger parts still wouldnt of out-sung nicole, just wouldve been nice since its her final.
