Hilary Duff and Demi Lovato are both great choices. Both gorgeous women who have nice voices. 
[GAME] DS's Next Top Artist: Series #8
3 of 71
We are back here with Lucas in Tokyo as he racks his brain deciding who would be most fitting of joining him on his X Factor journey! Lisa Stansfield, Tegan & Sara, Sam Smith and Delphic await their fate
~Run (Leona Lewis) plays in the background as Tegan & Sara and Lisa Stansfield are both shown sitting nervously, shaking.~
Lucas ~to Lisa~ : You have performed incredibly in your quest to be one of the artists representing myself in this edition of NTA, there would be no doubt in my mind that you would be one of the better vocalists of the entire series.
Lucas ~to T & S~ : You are everything I desire in an artist, quirky, entertaining and not afraid to branch out in different styles and that would help me along the way if you were going to represent me in the competition.
Lucas ~to Lisa~ : However the world knows that I'm the type of mentor who doesn't just care for vocals but the whole dynamic package and I worry that your won't be current enough or memorable enough to stand out against other acts in the series, I am sorry Lisa but I can't take you any further in my X Factor journey. ~hugs~
~Lisa walks out and exclaims that she wishes she did some dubstep in her career which meant that Lucas could have seen more potential in me and took me through to the NTA live stages, they hug and Lisa is never to be seen again apart from on twitter begging for a non existent wildcard spot~
Lucas ~to T & S~ : I do have some concerns though I panic that the public are going to not take to lesbian twins very well, I worry they may think you are too out there, but as every mentor in this contest knows, I adore taking risks, i used a cover of independent woman for Elbow ffs!!. Girls I am sorry but you are going to have to go home.... and pack your bags, you are joining me in the NTA live shows. ~screams and hugs and oh my gods~
~ LIGHT UP LIGHT UP AS IF YOU HAAAAVE A CHOICE ~
Alex : Before the break we saw Lucas choose Tegan & Sara as his first artist of NTA8. Sam Smith and Delphic are anxiously awaiting their fate which will be revealed.
~ What About Now (Westlife) plays in the background as the two artists take to the sofa, one act more nervous than the other knowing their mentor absolutely despises everything they stand for~
Lucas ~to Sam Smith~ : Bitch, you're gone xo
Lucas ~to Delphic~ : Boys, I absolutely adore your style, you know that I have championed you throughout the auditions and Bootcamp, but can you maintain the standard I am after, you are all from Stockport, will that detract from the public voting for you with you (and your mentor being so common, we could end up like Jeremy Kyle one week) but I have come to decision, pack your stuff boys, you are leaving Stockport for a bit and joining me on my quest for NTA glory!
~ WHAT ABOUT NOW, WHAT ABOUT TODAYYYY ~

Sorry Jack, it was just going to be another generic 'not heard of them' response which I felt was getting boring, so please forgive me.
We now head over to MEDIALOVER who is in a secret location ready to reveal their debut NTA decisions!
MediaLover, please post if you are able to.
MediaLover, please post if you are able to.
Thank you, now:
My first act is one I have loved for a few years now. Their vocal talent fails to disappoint me every time I hear them. It's Michael Buble!
My next act is one of my favourite British bands, whose songs always have a special meaning. Yes, it's Coldplay!

We next head to Antarctica where PINGU is waiting with his acts. Unfortunately his wireless has frozen and therefore I will be posting on his behalf:
My first act is the fabulous Agnes Obel. I picked Agnes as I am a big fan of hers as the moment. She has this beautiful, quirky unique voice which is quite dark and haunting. Her songs have so much emotion and are really different and all have a clear message. She is my riskier act of the competition as I don't know how she will go down with you lovely people. However, I'm really excited to get her music out there.
My 2nd act is the gorgeous Daughter. I have loved Daughter for a while as she has some really beautiful songs that are emotional but still really interesting and dynamic. Out of both of my acts, they are definitely the act that I think will get me much further in this game than I have the past 2 series which I've appeared. Also, Sydnee Carter did a beautiful version of one of their songs in OZ. <3

We now head over to PAUL who has decided to shake up the competition:
Following flawless Irish Bands such as Snow Patrol,The Script and Kodaline in this competition,I present to you another amazing Irish band who are one of the biggest bands in the country but are yet to make a stamp on the UK Industry,it's.............
The Coronas
Okay so after seeing the decision to get rid of Indie and Mainstream themes,I dreaded the thought of having loads of dull indie acts so I decided to bring some fun into the competition.She's one of the biggest artists in the world,may be a bit marmite but has some fantastic catchy country and pop songs. Please give it up for..........
Taylor Swift!!

Michael Buble and Coldplay are another couple of decent choices. Not groundbreaking for me, but I like some of their songs nonetheless.
We now move on to SATANEL
Pixie Lott.
I chose Pixie before I knew she was on Strictly, but how ideal. I’ve suddenly become a huge fan of Pixie, she has such a beautiful voice and her songs are really great, which I will show you throughout this process. I imagine a lot of you will be familiar with her anyway, since she’s an act people have actually heard of. Oh, and she’s gorgeous, so that’s always a plus.
Yolanda Adams.
Ah, my beautiful week one exit. I don’t need a long introduction here: she’s black, she’s sassy and she screams. For all you indie-folk out there, run and hide because you can’t handle the vocal talent that is Yolanda Adams.

Hilary, Demi and Taylor! All amazing goddesses! 
Edit: Oh and yay for Pixie as well, amazing choice, Zak.

Taylor Swift is a good pick. Liked some of the old country songs but she's really come into her own since she went more poppy. I'm sure I will like her even more after this.
Pixie Lott is just damn right gorgeous. Perfect figure, great voice and loads of hits. A sure-fire Top 5 act for me each week I'm sure.

My first act is Kacey Musgraves and idc if you don't like country music, y'all need to give her a chance because she's unique and not a ~typical~ country artist. I hope she becomes living proof that country musicians don't always flop in these games. She's also insanely HOT.
My other act is Cheryl who is basically too flawless to even warrant an intro. I don't really know how she hasn't been chosen yet because her music is awesome and she is the Queen of XFactor.

Our penultimate mentor is UNCLEKEVO aka Kevin:
My first act comes to us from down under, they've been used a few times in DS forum games before but they are relatively unknown to a good deal of DS members. They originally formed 13 years ago but it wasn't until ten years ago, when Connie Smith, the vocalist from the band 'Primary' joined the band that they really took shape. With Connie's amazing bluesy tone and Angus McDonald's production prowess, Sneaky Sound System have produced some fantastic dance tracks over the years. I just love their music, it's proof that dance music isn't all generic and throwaway as their stuff is seriously outstanding. I hope to be able to introduce them to anyone who isn't familiar with them and to pick a good range of music for those who have heard them before.
So I have really struggled to decide on the second act. I swapped acts out regularly before I chose my final artist but I have made a decision. Joining Sneaky Sound System are a fantastic Irish duo with amazing vocals...no it's not Jedward, it's Hudson Taylor! No wait, no, I change my mind, I can't take Hudson Taylor through. This is so tough, I don't know what to do!!!!!(Louis Walsh confused face). Okay, okay, I feel like I would be better off choosing someone with more material, I'm going to swap Hudson Taylor out for Rebecca Ferguson!
*hears boos from audience*
I really don't know what to do, there are so many talented acts! And then there's Cold War Kids!
*Kevin has a sing-off between Hudson Taylor, Rebecca Ferguson and Cold War Kids*
*Hudson Taylor have no more material. The audience boo and Kevin shakes his head in disapproval*
