Excellent praise for Faye tonight, but it's your votes that decide if she's here next week.

Over to Riley and the Over 25s now. This act received high praise for her performance of 'Phoenix' last week and is hoping to replicate that again tonight. It's Janet Grogan!

Jan, I loved it. It was harder choosing a song for you this week than it was last week - but I loved this. Edgy and current, and it totally suited you - amazing

I don't think this song choice was for you. The song didn't really move so you weren't able to show off your vocal range like last week

Janet

Janet, although this did suit your voice, I don't think it was the smartest move. don't really want you to head into this 'poppy' direction, and I don't think this song rally showed off your singing skills.

Not quite the feedback Janet was hoping for, but it's all down to the public vote.

Next up it's the boys and their mentor Danyal. This act managed a 2nd place finish last week and has been working hard to try and stay put at the top this week. It's Christian Burrows!

Christian, this wasn't a great choice. I didn't like it as much as last week and I don't want you heading down a boring, generic Eurovision route. I'm sorry but I didn't really like it.

Christian

Firstly, Christian, can I just say I love this song! Secondly, that was awesome!!!! It totally suited you, and you blew the house down! Best performance by far

That was great Christian. Everything was superb. Performance of the night

Mixed comments for Christian, one saying it's best but another not liking it at all; but it's down to you the public whether he's here next week!

Now over to the groups and their mentor Maris. This act narrowly avoided the bottom three last week and is seeking to make an impression this week to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's 5 After Midnight!

Oops, should be okay now.

Um, boys. I have mixed feelings about this.. I can imagine you singing this but I feel this wasn't for you. Vocals were off and I couldn't enjoy it. Sorry

danyal_ahmed

02-12-2016

Hmm I'm not sure about this I think a poor song choice which wasn't mature enough to let you show off your vocals

5 After Midnight

Guys, I didn't really like this one, sorry

It was far too cheesy, safe and predictable, and I don't really see the point of using a Darren Espanto cover when it's very similar to the original Jackson 5 song. It's the same sort of thing you do every week, I want to see you switch it up a little bit more.

Not good comments for 5 After Midnight, but it's down to your votes whether they will be safe from the bottom two or not.

Now back to the Over 25s and their mentor Riley. This act also narrowly avoided the bottom three and is hoping to start rising up the voting this week. It's Relley C!

Rells! I loved that, way better than last week and I hope that was enough to save you as you really deserve it. You have worked so hard with this and I hope the public take note of that and can get behind you tonight

Relley

Relley, it was better than last week. But it was still a bit safe and precictable, to be perfectly honest. The song didn't really go anywhere- it stayed all in the same place- and because of that it didn't show off your vocal range. It was all a bit cliché, but at least it's an improvement.

danyal_ahmed

02-12-2016

A lot better than last week but this was a bit cliche. I'd love to see you singing power ballads

SoapAddict101

02-12-2016

Better comments for Relley compared to last week, but some saying it's a cliché. Will it be enough to see her through?

Now back to the Maris and the groups. This act topped the public vote last week and received great comments from the judges. Will they continue their success? It's Four of Diamonds!

Honestly, not as good as last week. Last week you slayed, this week not so great. I can't see you topping the vote this week and I am really disappointed this week girls as I know you are capable of so much more

danyal_ahmed

02-12-2016

Girls I think that was way too predictable and weak. You could be in trouble

4 0f Diamonds

Girls, I liked this, I love how you all did seperate parts and the harmonies were great! It was a tad generic, it doesn't really make you stand out from the crowd, but seeing as you topped the vote last week, you're clearly doing something right

Well done!

Btw soap will there be a twist tonight

SoapAddict101

02-12-2016

Mixed comments for Four of Diamonds, but it's up to you the public whether it will be enough for them to get safely through.

Over to the boys again and their mentor Danyal now. This act polled well in the votes last week and is hoping to continue to improve, it's Niall Sexton!

I couldn't possibly say if there will be at the moment.
