I didn't particularly like Rikki on the X Factor if I'm honest, but this song does suit him well I think. It's a bit boring for my liking but it fits his vocals and I think some would like it.

Rikki Loney:

Good way to kick off the show Rikki. I always thought you were under rated on the actual show and if this is a small glimpse of the potential that your mentor can reach then I think we can expect bigger things from you.

Well when you open the first live show,it has to be like proper exciting and it can be hit or miss. This was both because yes it definitely fitted your voice but it just fell a bit boring.I know your not really an upbeat guy but it could of been a bit better so I have mixed opinions on this.

Cher is another act I remember quite well and while she has moved more away from her rap stuff of late, I know she could still pull it off. Cheryl was of course her mentor on the X Factor and they remind me of each other, so I decided to choose a Cheryl song that suited Cher best. Crazy Stupid Love has a small rap from Tinie Tempah on it to show a bit of the old Cher whilst keeping her newfound more poppy sound of music. She would be great at performing this song on stage too as she has that attitude and swagger to carry it off.

So on the show you were compared to Cheryl but Cheryl dosen"t resemble you I dont think. It dosen"t really suit you.It suited you a small bit but it didn"t really so I was a bit dissapointed with this Cher. I really like you Cher so if you make it next week I hope you improve.

Cher Lloyd:

Okay so this is a unique situation for this show, because essentially for this show we are only in competition with ourselves. So I have not necessarily used the best songs for my own acts when im not competing with everyone else. I understand holding back a little bit but having said that I found this rather uninspiring. I wanted to see you show a sign things to come and what risks you could potentially take and I don't think you showed that here.

I remember Jamie has a powerful rock artist and this song suits him to the core. It's a catchy song despite the fact I'm not the biggest fan of rock and I think Jamie would destroy this in a good way. Excellent choice.

Jamie Archer:

Truth be told out of all the four artists I was placed with you are much more up my street. I love your controlled rock style and I wanted something that could highlight that. I loved the progression of the song without it being a typical overly shouty number. I am so looking forward to what we have to come from you Jamie

This was on point for you Jamie and a superb song choice.Jamie you have such a powerful voice and this suited perfect well done.

I'd forgotten what 4Sure sounded like so had a little listen to them and I can see their harmonies working well on the chorus. This song does get a bit boring in places for me but 4Sure do have good soulful voices in a similar way to Labrinth so it's a good match.

4Sure:

An interesting choice, I remember being a fan of 4sure they had a litte sense of a Motown Vibe to them. There is a terrific amount of potential with them and im very keen to see where you can take them. This song was a little reserved in places like I was waiting for an "oomph" moment...I don't think it quite got there but not an awful choice.

It was a decent start to show their potential and I hope they get the chance to stay next week so we can see how far you can take them.

Well done 4Sure that was great.I wanted to give you an upbeat song to show off some fun and this really shows what you can bring.Im so impressed.Well done!

Lloyd wasn't the best singer on the X Factor but he obviously appealed to the female viewers because of his looks. I'm not too sure this song fits his vocals to be honest, Hozier is a bit more of a powerful singer and I think Lloyd would be too weak to sing this unfortunately.

Well first of all this is a total rule breaker. This dosen"t fit the theme as Hozier is Irish.Then also this didn"t suit you one bit so I wasn"t impressed with that Lloyd.

Lloyd Daniels:

I like what you tried to do here. Lloyd wasn't the greatest performer in the show and you have tried to take a risk in pushing him into a new more powerful style. Im not entirely sure that it actually suited him, but it shows that you are looking to take him to a place where he can be credible and that is commendable.

Lucie was the hardest act to pick a song for as she's the only one of these four girls whose voice I can't remember. So I looked back at some of her performances and then searched for artists that have a similar sound to her. Tiffany Page cropped up and while she's potentially more 'rocky' than Lucie, I think her song On Your Head was a great fit and I'm sure Lucie would do it justice.

Hmm...this was mixed for me Lucie. Very different choice. Rockier than usual.But I guess it was okay overall so I guess well done...

Lucie Jones:

Interesting, it was a powerful number. Very in your face in comparison to what I was expecting for a Lucie performance and I didn't hate it. Obviously its a hard knock life if your eliminated over Jedward (If I remember correctly). Again though it showed you had a real of risk taking and wanted to go down your own route with someone who is normally a softly spoken singer.

There is room to grow but well done.

I liked Jay on the X Factor; he was quite a versatile singer in that he could perform slower and faster songs. As I listen to this I can picture Jay singing it - it actually sounds like him! His softer vocals would really suit this song and I like it.

Jay James:

Jay you were my only act that doesn't have a huge powerful voice and to be honest I was glad you brought a bit of versatility to the team. I wanted to show a bit of your softer tone with this but the song was still upbeat and catchy and I enjoyed it. I hope people vote for you and keep you here.

I really loved that Jay. It was really laid back and really chirpy (but in a good way).That was one of my favourite performances of the night and I wasn"t expecting much so well done.Im really impressed.

Journey South weren't my favorites on the X Factor but this song is the type they would sing I reckon. It's a good fit but whether I would actually enjoy the performance I'm not too sure. This matches their style though so thumbs up for that.
