(Game): X Factor Our own Series

[Strictly Jake]

I'm surprised Cher wasn't in the bottom, who voted for her Nicky?

But I save Miss Frank for definite

[Strictly Jake]

By the way Nicky it's obvious you have become a big fan of Janet, Yey!!

I love that so many people are voting for her as I have always seen so much potential in her

Amelia Little Mix and Alexandra are popular too so I'm glad

I need to work more on Cher though as she is slipping under the radar

Comments

Little Mix - My girls! I think this was quite a brave choice for you and I hope the voters get behind you for taking a risk and trying something different!

Alexandra Burke - Alexandra, I love you but I felt this was a little weak, this is rock week you could have done something much edgier with the theme and gone for a real classic rock song to show your range.

Jack Walton - I like your voice and I think it fit the song well but I feel like I have heard it all before and done to a much higher standard, I think you could be in trouble this week but best of luck.

Sharon Murphy - Sharon that right up my street! I loved it and sang right along with you! Best of luck with the vote!

Amelia Lily - A great performance! I must confess to not being a fan of the song but the fact you sang it and had me smiling to to your credit. I think you will fly through to the next round.

Luke Friend - I felt like this was too country and nor enough rock. I found it quite dull.

Tyler Hudson - A brave choice yet again! I enjoyed this a lot and hope you pick up enough votes to continue.

Cher Lloyd - WOW! amazing vocals, I felt every word and you gave your best performance to date. I don't really think it fit the theme though.

Reggie & Bollie Boys! Boys! Boys! I love your energy and enthusiasm! I hope people vote to keep you around we have some great ideas to work on!

Janet Devlin - I enjoyed this, I thought you would struggle with the theme with such a delicate voice but you really pulled it out of the bag and made this into something memorable, well done!

Sarah Cassidy - I like your voice but I really don't think this was your week at all, the song was lifeless and about as rocky as a ball of wool. I hope you survive but please take more risks!

My votes this week go to:
Little Mix
Sharon Murphy
Cher Lloyd
Miss Frank
Reggie & Bollie

Miss Frank
Reggie & Bollie

well thank you for this feedback, Sarah's song is my favourite from the corrs, but if she survives i'll take some more risks, Tyler is my dark horse to victory, steadily going week by week, and finally Sharon did a great song

[Strictly Jake]

Little Mix- Wow! I think this song worked so well for you, we had lots of fun picking a song for this weeks theme, there were so many that suited you. But I think this showed your youthful pop side and I'm glad we went with this song. It was performed brilliantly. You know I love you girls and it was great working with you I really miss you girls. But keep it up I honestly think you may win this whole show

Reggie n Bollie- I'm unsure this week lads. I think the song was rather strange. It's your style of song obviously, but it's not the rock song I would have wanted you to do. I think this week you could have shown a new exciting side to you. Unfortunately I think it was too safe and I don't know if it's going to see you through. I don't mean to be so harsh but you really need to step it up from now on as your against some tough competition

Miss Frank- I love fleetwood Mac and I think you girls did a decent job. I would however like to see the modern edge to you come through, you girls have the potential to really stand out not only can you vocalise in harmony really well but you have the rap ability too, you have the potential to really deliver something mind blowing, I'm hoping you get a song to show this off next time. But you did a good job

Luke Friend- I liked your performance again, as I keep staying I think out of everyone your the most current you could compete in the music industry, your ready, your an artist. However as artists should always do you need to take a risk to show originality, at the moment your a decent cover artist, it's time to be unique

Jack Walton- My favourite performance of yours by a clear mile. I think you will be through this week. However I don't think you stand out enough. The competition will get tough from this moment on, make sure you aren't forgotten

Tyler Hudson- I really enjoy your performances I think you are so different to everyone else. Wasn't quite sure on the song choice for rock week but you have done enough to see you through

Sharon Murphy- Wow! That was perfect! Who knew that you were a rock diva! I loved it

Sarah Cassidy- This isn't a rock song. The corrs are not a rock band. I'm willing to overlook that though as I have always liked this song and I think you sang it beautifully, I really do prefer you doing ballads as at time you can come across as cheesy. I'm unsure if you have done enough to pick up votes as it was a little bit forgettable but I liked it

Alexandra- Girl I'm so so sorry. I didn't pick the right song for you. I'll hold my hands up and say this was entirely my fault. I struggled with you this week and on reflection we shouldn't have gone for a ballad. You might be in danger this week and I apologise for that. There wasn't anything wrong with your vocals though. Please if you have enjoyed Alexandra's performances so far, overlook this week and give her some votes

Cher- I know how nervous you have been this week as this was a little bit out of your comfort zone. You didn't need to worry though that was exceptional, for me that was the standout performance of the night

Amelia- I absolutely love working with you. Nearly every song suits you, your so easy to work with. I loved this performance I think it was one of your best. Your a star

Janet- aww Janet that reduced me to tears. It was beautiful. You meant every single word of that song. What a beautiful version. Your fast becoming the dark horse of the competition, like Luke I think you have that artist quality about you and I'm hoping with the songs im picking for you im showing people this quality

This week was a tricky theme. I thought it would be easy but I think I struggled to pick the right songs. However so think all my girls have it there best shot

I vote for

Little Mix
Sharon Murphy
Jack Walton

[Nicky91]

I vote for

Little Mix
Sharon Murphy
Jack Walton

I really fear for Sarah, i chose that song for her, because it's my personal favourite song, but let's hope for the best and that we can work on your feedback by giving her a more modern song

singing first for survival Tyler Hudson with the song The Climb by Miley Cyrus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6DtHQmhNQ0



Nicky's comment: i'm shocked Tyler that you are in the sing off, maybe i need to take more risks with you, and i hope i get the chance to take risks, because you've got an enormous talent

[Nicky91]

singing for survival Miss Frank with the song Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdwatop0Rsw


Nicky's comment: well i voted to save you last time, if you're eliminated girls, never stop singing, but i say honestly this was a good performance

[Nicky91]

here singing for our judges votes


it's Tyler Hudson and Miss Frank with Don't you want to stay by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u54_VC7myLY

[Nicky91]

i'll vote first


well Miss Frank, you are wonderful singers, and i voted for you the last time you were in the sing off


but I Vote for Tyler to stay in the competition, because he's a good singer, and quite unique for the UK, to have a country voice i guess

and i promise the next time i can choose songs for you Tyler, i'll take more risks

[Amy Jade]

My vote obviously lies with my girls Miss Frank, I think they have SO much more to give the competition and I have some great ideas for their next direction.

These girls are unique, let them prove how good they are.

Therfore I am sending home Tyler.

[Nicky91]

this makes it 1-1, leaving Jake for the deciding vote



by the way, i reveal the songs for Jake's Girls


Alexandra Burke - Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri

Amelia Lily - Dark Horse by Katy Perry

Cher Lloyd - Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn

Janet Devlin - Friday I'm in Love by The Cure

[Strictly Jake]

I save Tyler. He is more potential and brings something different so Tyler is my choice

[Amy Jade]

Aw snap didn't even get a chance to pick a song for them :(

[Strictly Jake]

Can I just ask how was Sarah safe? No one voted for her and you and Amy Jade both voted miss Frank. It should have been Tyler vs Sarah

[Strictly Jake]

Anyway the song choices for the overs are

Tyler: House of the rising Sun by the animals (White Buffalo version)
Sharon: Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
Sarah: Purple rain by Prince(Kelly Clarkson version)

[Nicky91]

I save Tyler. He is more potential and brings something different so Tyler is my choice

12. Miss Frank ( gutted for Amy Jade)

13. Mason Noise

14. Leo Ihanacho

15. Poisonous Twins

16. Sam Callahan

[Nicky91]

Can I just ask how was Sarah safe? No one voted for her and you and Amy Jade both voted miss Frank. It should have been Tyler vs Sarah

in the real x factor, you also have shock sing off's right


well Amy wasn't really allowed to vote for Miss Frank, as it was her own group, her other groups however recieved lots of other votes.

[Nicky91]

Anyway the song choices for the overs are

Tyler: House of the rising Sun by the animals (White Buffalo version)
Sharon: Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
Sarah: Purple rain by Prince(Kelly Clarkson version)

nice song choices Jake

i'll give feedback

Tyler: thank you for this challenging song, Jake now hopefully we can see his potential

Sharon: good song, familiar song as well, and it could suit her voice

Sarah: I expect to see something more from her, and a difficult song, but Jake you were right i was expecting her to be in the sing off the last time.


but some good song choices, how do you think are mine for your girls

Amelia: Dark Horse by Katy Perry

Alexandra: Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri

Cher: Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn

Janet: Friday I'm in Love by The Cure

[Nicky91]

but first saying goodbye to Miss Frank

loved their song choices



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d18RN9PK7QI

4. Jack Walton

5. Little Mix

6. Reggie N Bollie

7. Sharon Murphy

8. Cher Lloyd

9. Alexandra Burke

Jack Walton - Stitches by Shawn Mendes

[Nicky91]

I've picked...

Luke Friend - FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna

&

Jack Walton - Stitches by Shawn Mendes

good choices, Amy

[Nicky91]

i really hope Ammi signs on as a mentor, and as i wrote to her, if she accepts, she'll give Little Mix and Reggie N Bollie their songs


if that is okay with you, Amy



and also betting odds:

Amelia Lily 9/4

Tyler Hudson 2

Alexandra Burke 2

Janet Devlin 2

Little Mix 7

Luke Friend 7

Sharon Murphy 7

Reggie N Bollie 9

Jack Walton 9

Cher Lloyd 9

Sarah Cassidy 100/1

Little Mix - Don't Let Go by En Vogue

Reggie N Bollie - Who Let the Dogs Out by The Baha Men

[Nicky91]

Song Swap week will kick off Sunday, and the voting will open at 17:00 and will close Tuesday at 17:00


Guest Performances from Jess Glynne, Take That

[Strictly Jake]

I'm unsure on the song choices for my girls Nicky and I think they will be in danger this week

Amelia: Dark Horse. I can't fault this choice I love Katy Perry and think this song will suit Amelia really well. So good choice

Alexandra: Jar of hearts. I don't like this song. It was overplayed way too much and I think people are too familiar with it. Plus it is a bit stripped back for Alexandra I don't think it will play to her strengths

Cher: Call your girlfriend. Quite the opposite of Alexandra's song choice, in the sense that I don't think a lot of people will know the song, it's the first time I have heard it. This may Ho against her as people might not vote for the fact they don't know the song. It's a good song I like it and I can see why you have picked it for Cher but the fact it's not very well known may put her in danger

Janet: I love nearly all of Janets covers. But I don't like her cover of this which is why I haven't picked her to sing it so far. It's not a great song anyway and I don't think it suits her. I really fear for Janet this week

But we will see how the girls rise to the challenge

[Nicky91]

I'm unsure on the song choices for my girls Nicky and I think they will be in danger this week

Amelia: Dark Horse. I can't fault this choice I love Katy Perry and think this song will suit Amelia really well. So good choice

Alexandra: Jar of hearts. I don't like this song. It was overplayed way too much and I think people are too familiar with it. Plus it is a bit stripped back for Alexandra I don't think it will play to her strengths

Cher: Call your girlfriend. Quite the opposite of Alexandra's song choice, in the sense that I don't think a lot of people will know the song, it's the first time I have heard it.

But we will see how the girls rise to the challenge

well I did give your girls some challenges

Janet: well i like this song, and she needs to do something more fun and happy

Cher: why wouldn't the people vote for her if they don't know the song, she just needs to sing it right, and she'll be fine

Alexandra: i want to challenge her with a non-diva song, and show how versatile she really is

Amelia: she's a title contender, and I'm glad you like the song i've given her

[Nicky91]

I'll give my feedback tomorrow I'm a bit rushed today

But my votes go for

Reggie n Bollie
Jack Walton
Sharon Murphy
Tyler Hudson

thank you Jake, for your votes, but okay your feedback can also come tomorrow

but your girls have done well so far in the voting

[Nicky91]

next week will be Jukebox week

you will choose 3 songs for your acts, and you must pick a song from those 3 songs for your act to sing

[Strictly Jake]

Surely the others should pick which one out of the three?

[Amy Jade]

1. Alexandra Burke
I like this song but I feel it doesn't suit your powerhouse voice so it's a bit of a lackluster performance for me, I was just waiting for you to hit it out of the park and it never came.

2. Jack Walton
I picked this for you because I knew it would push you and your voice and I think you did a great job :clap1:

3. Sharon Murphy
I actually don't like his version of the song at all, I wish you had taken it in a darker direction and vamped it up. Not your best, sorry.

4. Little Mix
Yesssss! Performance of the show, flawless!

5. Tyler Hudson
I wish I could give you good feedback because I think you need it this week after being bottom two but I hated everything about that. I didn't enjoy the song at all and I found the outfit and staging totally cheesy. You are in real trouble this week I think.

6. Cher Lloyd
Another cheesy performance, I thought the song was a good choice but the outfit and staging was awful. Sorry.

7. Janet Devlin
Loved this! Great song choice and an amazing vocal. I do feel you are the weakest girl left though, the others have shown so much personality and I feel like you are flying under the radar not making as much impact.

8. Luke Friend
Your best performance so far, I picked this because I knew you could make it your own. Great job!

9. Reggie & Bollie
You guys are just pure fun! Everyone is on their feet with you the entire time you are on stage! You deserve to stay in after that performance!

10. Sarah Cassidy
A brave song choice and I commend you for taking a risk - however, I measure any Purple Rain performance to Ruth Lorenzo...you were good but not great.

11. Amelia Lily
Fantastic way to close the show! This song is appropriate for you too because I see you as the dark horse of the series.

Amelia Lily


thank you for your votes, Amy and great feedback

[Nicky91]

Surely the others should pick which one out of the three?

well not exactly, it's we choose 3 songs for our contestants to sing


and then I will choose the songs to sing, me or Amy Jade


and you'll choose the songs for the groups and boys, which Amy Jade will pick the 3 songs for

[Nicky91]

My Feedback, for a first time:


Tyler - you did a great job with a Iconic song, never thought you could sing like that, however what Amy said, you could be in trouble though

Sharon - where Amy doesn't like this song, she's right about it, but i liked seeing a more uptempo song for you


Sarah - this song was perfect for you, time to get rid of the cheesy songs for you, and start giving you some contemporary classics

------------------------

Amelia - I LOVED IT, and i'm proud of picking this Katy song for you

Alexandra - I wanted to show a more acoustic side of you, rather than the Diva side, which you dominate for sure

Cher - I think you did a great job, and you look good in the voting i guess

Janet - This was a side i wanted to see from you, your Happy and Fun side, instead of those beautiful elegant ballads, and you sang great

---------------------------

Luke - nice song, so thank you Amy for picking FourFiveSeconds, you are a unique acoustic singer

Jack - Good song, a little safe because you can do better

--------------------------

Little Mix - Perfection, flawless vocals

Reggie N Bollie - Party performance, and i liked the titanic part

[Strictly Jake]

Ok my feedback

Wow this really was a strong week for everyone. Great job

To my girls

Alexandra: what a way to open the show. I was hesitant about this song as its really stripped back and it exposes your vocals more. It requires exceptional vocal control and my oh my do you have that. I want to thank Nicky for this song. It really showed how great a singer you are, and maybe we should look into this style of music with you a bit more. Excellent

Amelia: I don't know what else I can keep saying about you. Your the one to beat, you have this competition in your hand and it's yours to lose. Just keep on going strong. Another amazing performance

Cher: I'm sorry I wasn't keen on this. I don't like the song and I think it exposed you too much. It was pitchy in places and your nerves were showing. I don't think the set and look suited the song but that's not your fault. I didn't enjoy it Cher I'm sorry, I'm starting to struggle with you. You started off great in this competition and I'm thinking I'm starting to lose my way with you a bit. So your the one I'm going to work really hard on next week

Janet: Not my favourite song but you sang it lovely. Yeah it was nice to see a more cheerful side of you and I'm going to look into this more but great job

The boys

Luke: I loved the song choice it is definitely the lane you should be leaning towards as its less copycat than the other performances you have done, I liked it

Jack: My favourite performance of yours, such a current song and it shows where you fit in the music industry I think it was a stand out performance which is what you needed

The groups

Little mix: I just love you girls. That was sheer perfection. Honestly it was flawless and you all looked great! The reason I didn't vote for you girls this week is because you don't need them your not going anywhere your so popular and your contenders

Reggie n Bollie: well thank goodness for this performance I was starting to worry about you guys the past couple of weeks, but this was great I loved it

The overs

Tyler: I have always loved this song, the whole message of the song is such a great story and this version of it was haunting and the type of music I can see you releasing my favourite performance of yours and your becoming one of my favourites in the competition

Sharon: I think this showed a new side to you, it was honestly great, I want you to steer more towards this style of music as I think it suits you however Nicky knows what he is doing with you as I have enjoyed your performances the last few weeks

Sarah: I'm glad I picked this song for you this is the type of music that shows your vocal range. However I do think your now the weakest left. I do think you deserve to go through to next week but if you will get the votes I'm not sure

[Nicky91]

Sharon is a good singer, and i know what direction i'm going with her

[Strictly Jake]

Can we make it 4 choices for each other to pick from? I'm really struggling to narrow it down

[Nicky91]

Can we make it 4 choices for each other to pick from? I'm really struggling to narrow it down

okay, also a good idea


and tomorrow results show at 17:00


who will make the top 10, and who will be eliminated?

[Nicky91]

well i'm worried for a few acts for tomorrow

maybe Cher in the sing off, well Jake if you didn't like it, and you are her coach

i don't see many amelia voters, so it could be Amelia vs Cher



but i also fear for Sarah or Sharon

[Nicky91]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTjYTTwk_FQ


Nicky's comment: good performance, but it Always is a bit the same and safe

[Nicky91]

it's not a hard decision for me


Reggie N Bollie you guys are good performers, but Sharon has way more vocal quality than you, i'm sorry



I Save Sharon, and now i'll hope and pray she stays in the competition

[Amy Jade]

I will vote to send home Sharon, she's just filler - nothing to be excited about with her.

[Nicky91]

I will vote to send home Sharon, she's just filler - nothing to be excited about with her.

and you back your own act reggie n bollie i guess


but you also have Luke Friend, Jack Walton and Little Mix as your acts

[Kazanne]

I'm sending Reggie and Bollie home,good performance but Sharon has the edge and more potencial for me.

[Nicky91]

but Jake your decision is important


Sharon is your wildcard for my overs


and i think i hear more potential in her


i would be gutted if i don't get the chance to get that out of her

[Nicky91]

I'm sending Reggie and Bollie home,good performance but Sharon has the edge and more potencial for me.

thank you, Kaz

[Amy Jade]

Wait I thought the judges were the only people who could vote now?

Also can I ask how Reggie and Bollie are bottom 2? they had exactly the same number of votes as about 3 other acts?

[Nicky91]

Wait I thought the judges were the only people who could vote now?

Also can I ask how Reggie and Bollie are bottom 2? they had exactly the same number of votes as about 3 other acts?

they were tied with Sharon, Sarah and Tyler yes on 1 vote


and Kazanne's vote is just a advice vote


ShakeyJake will give the deciding vote

[Strictly Jake]

The act I'm going to save is reggie n Bollie

Sharon I'm a fan of yours but I think you have shown all that you have to give and I think your ready to crack the music industry you don't need this competition anymore

Reggie n Bollie you really need to up your game though. I have faith in Amy Jade to make you great

Sharon I'm sorry to lose you but I do feel it's your time

[Strictly Jake]

Can I just say with this jukebox theme I really do think it would work best if we as mentors as well as the people on here that vote to pick which songs the contestants should do, we really need to open it up to the public. That's the true nature of jukebox. But if you want to do just mentor picking then we need to swap it round Nicky as I have helped out your overs a couple of times now and you have helped my girls, if it is mentor only I think I should pick which songs the boys do, Amy Jade picks which song my girls do, you pick what the groups do and whoever is going to mentor the boys should pick what your overs will do. Otherwise it's just song swap part 2

But if you want to do just mentor picking then we need to swap it round Nicky as I have helped out your overs a couple of times now and you have helped my girls, if it is mentor only I think I should pick which songs the boys do, Amy Jade picks which song my girls do, you pick what the groups do and whoever is going to mentor the boys should pick what your overs will do. Otherwise it's just song swap part 2

well i've now already asked some of the voters about jukebox to vote for their favourite song of the 4 from my acts

maybe you should give them your girls's song choices as well

the voters who i asked are:

Ammi

Kazanne

DaNasty

EspeonBB

Dezzy

[Nicky91]

Tyler Hudson will sing to promote his voice even more

with the song Done With It


and i'm done with the low percentage of votes

[Nicky91]

alright, and yes i did change the video's you asked

[Strictly Jake]

Thankyou

[Strictly Jake]

01 Janet Devlin

This was a slightly different side to you, it showed a more rock side. I do think you will make it to the final. I think your very versatile and I plan on picking a cheery song for 80s week. I do think this is the type of music you would release though

02 Tyler Hudson

Very good song choice, it made you very current and marketable. I think you have turned a corner in this competition I feel you are a contender now and definitely the strongest over

03 Luke Friend

That was amazing. Such a perfect song choice it really suited you, you even out your own twist on it, well done Luke


04 Alexandra Burke

Anyone who dares to cover Adele and delivers it so perfectly deserves a standing ovation. In fact I think you have shown you deserve a place in the final. I feel you are vocally the strongest in this competition


05 Reggie N Bollie

My favourite of yours because it wasn't cheesy. It's a really good choice the public made. This is the avenue you should stick to. Keep the party vibe but make sure you aren't cheesy. Great job this time in glad I saved you

06 Sarah Cassidy

Love the song. I'm a huge Katy Perry fan and you did the song justice. It honestly is your best performance yet

07 Amelia Lily

I am struggling to find any more words to compliment you than I already have throughout this competition. You haven't given a bad performance yet and your getting better and better. I wouldn't have thought that was even possible. Out of everyone I feel you could have the most success not only here in the uk but around the world

08 Cher Lloyd

Wow Cher I think we got it right this time it suited you so well. I think this has brought you back on course. Your definitely this type of performer and I think you may pick up a lot of votes this time. Fantastic

09 Jack Walton

Ok it was a little bit slow for my liking but it was good, I think you will be safe. I want to see something completely different for 80s week from you. There is a lot of songs in the 80s that will be good for you and I think next week will be your week so I hope you make it through

10 Little Mix

Aww I loved that. You girls are so lovely and likeable and you are going to make it huge honestly. Probably my favourite performance of the night apart from my girls obviously



My votes this week will go to

Reggie n Bollie

03 Luke Friend

Unique, and a great acoustic singer

04 Alexandra Burke

Really a Diva, and this was standing ovation worthy

05 Reggie N Bollie

Party song yet again, when will the ballads come or something different

06 Sarah Cassidy

Best Performance from you by a mile

07 Amelia Lily

Rock Goddess Amelia does it again, and wins over my vote

08 Cher Lloyd

4. Little Mix

5. Luke Friend

6. Sarah Cassidy

7. Cher Lloyd

8. Reggie N Bollie

1. Janet
2. Cher
3. Little mix

5. Alexandra

Prediction for bottom 2

Jack Vs Reggie n Bollie

01 - Janet Devlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj4nsZ3o1ag

[Amy Jade]

Janet Devlin
Nicky is right...I found that so dull and uninspiring, it felt like it went nowhere at all. I like your voice but I think you need to do something with a bit of power behind your voice.

Reggie & Bollie
Flawless! you boys doing an R. Kelly song is beautiful. Thank you for blessing us with that song, you should be safe this week!

Tyler Hudson
I think you have a good voice but I detest that song! so overplayed and I think the rapping was a little embarrassing. Sorry.

Alexandra Burke
Another song I find seriously overrated, although your voice was outstanding. Alex you are better than the song to be honest.

Luke Friend
I loved this! it fit your voice beautifully and I felt every word...you get my vote this week!

Sarah Cassidy
I enjoyed this a lot, you shocked me this week as I thought you could be in trouble but you really came through!

Amelia Lily
I love this song, Kelly Clarkson is an amazing vocalist and you did well with this but was it your best? No.

Little Mix
Performance of the week! Don't need to say anything because that was flawless :worship:

Jack Walton
I am really pleastently impressed! that is arguably the best you've performed this whole competition!

Cher Lloyd
Well...I am a big Ariana fan and I was looking forward to this but honestly this highlighted how weak your voice can be, you couldn't reach those hight notes and frankly this was a mess.

My Votes

Luke Friend
Sarah Cassidy
Amelia Lily
Jack Walton

[Strictly Jake]

Wow Amy Jade you make Simon Cowell look like an angel! You know you can't vote for Luke as he is now your act

[Amy Jade]

Wow Amy Jade you make Simon Cowell look like an angel! You know you can't vote for Luke as he is now your act

I'm the mean judge :hee:

Since when am I his coach? I thought I had the groups?

[Nicky91]

I'm the mean judge :hee:

Since when am I his coach? I thought I had the groups?

i must disagree on 2 things with you, i never said anything negative about Janet, i'm her fan and i disagree about my act Tyler, he did a good job with a current song, made it his own

but good feedback, and i hope Tyler can make it to next week, really worried now

[Nicky91]

Amy Jade, you are a good mentor and your feedback is good constructive criticism

[Nicky91]

please not another elimination of one of my acts please



:bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[Nicky91]

or shall we just do another top 10 week, just an extra liveshow

if it's fine by you guys, Jake and Amy Jade


no double eliminations in my series



because i thought every act was really good this time



so next week 80's week, i already got my songs for Tyler and Sarah

[Nicky91]

here are my 80's song choices:

Tyler Hudson - Love Changes ( Everything ) by Climie Fisher

Sarah Cassidy - Running Up that Hill by Kate Bush

Jack Walton - Gold by Spandau Ballet

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah I think everyone did do a good job to be fair and I don't think anyone deserves to go home this week. Yeah that's it then me and you have both decided that everyone is going through to next week

Congratulations everyone you all get a free pass this week!

[Strictly Jake]

But give us till Sunday to come up with our song choices. I really want to pick the right songs this time after Amy's feedback. Which will take time

[Nicky91]

Yeah I think everyone did do a good job to be fair and I don't think anyone deserves to go home this week. Yeah that's it then me and you have both decided that everyone is going through to next week

Congratulations everyone you all get a free pass this week!


thank you, and i think 80's will be fun as well


guest performances at 80's week will be Adele and Rihanna


and in that results show will be a guest performance of Katy Perry

[Nicky91]

But give us till Sunday to come up with our song choices. I really want to pick the right songs this time after Amy's feedback. Which will take time

alright, Jake


my songs are not yet confirmed, maybe if another perfect song comes to mind


because i want Tyler to impress Amy next time

[Nicky91]

well Amy wanted an elimination this week, but as it's 2-1 majority for a free pass, nobody goes home this week


so bring on the 80's


the deadline for the song choices is Sunday at 10:00

[Nicky91]

but also some IMPORTANT news: there will be a second series from my x factor game

[Strictly Jake]

but also some IMPORTANT news: there will be a second series from my x factor game

But the important question is, will I be kept on or axed??

[Nicky91]

But the important question is, will I be kept on or axed??

I want you to stay as a mentor, of course


you are really a good mentor for the girls, some good song choices



so i'm happy with you :)

[Strictly Jake]

Great! I quite fancy mentoring the groups next series

[Nicky91]

Great! I quite fancy mentoring the groups next series

well i think you'll do good mentoring the groups



and i think i'll be mentoring the girls next series


so Amy Jade will probably get the overs


and the boys, i'm still looking for another mentor for next series, or we'll split the boys over us 3 judges, right

[Strictly Jake]

I think ammi should do it

[Nicky91]

I think ammi should do it

well the funny thing i asked her, and she said maybe not enough time, or not a reliable mentor


maybe i'll ask her again

[Strictly Jake]

Or if there is only 3 of us

Males
Females
Groups

But let's not get ahead of ourselves we have a top 10 still in this series

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

also some news from my overs


Tyler's actual song choice was Love Changes Everything by Climie Fisher


but he had a sore throat for a couple days now, so i changed the song into what he wanted to sing


so he'll sing it for Amy Jade, because he wants to wow her :)

[Strictly Jake]

so definite choices for Sunday's liveshow for my overs


Tyler Hudson - When You Say nothing at all by Keith Whitley

Well Nicky I didn't even know this song wasn't originally by Ronan Keating so you learn something new every day, it's a nice song and it suits the country style however I think it is too safe and I wish you went with your original choice


Sarah Cassidy - Every Breath You Take by The Police

This is a good choice. In fact I was going to give this song to Cher and have her to the P.Diddy I'll be missing you version but you pipped me to the post. I think it will really suit Sarah and there are some good cover versions of this song, my favourite version is every car you chase the snow patrol vs police song. Maybe see if that would suit Sarah?


Jack Walton - Gold by Spandau Ballet

Perfect. Really suits him. Try and find a slight twist on it though as you don't want to play it safe


Tyler and Sarah a duet with the song Running up that hill by Kate Bush

I think Tyler will struggle with the high notes on this song, it will suit Sarah though

and the three of them will be singing Karma Chameleon by Culture Club

Love that song. I was close to giving it to Janet but I couldn't find a version that suited her

It's going to be another tough week all the song choices are great. I fear for my girls this week, I'm unsure on Chers song but I honestly couldn't find any 80s song that suited her

[Nicky91]

well it's a safe song for Tyler, i know that, but with his sore throat i mind i couldn't give him a difficult song, but hopefully he can bring the emotion what comes with this song.


your girls have good songs, Janet is gonna own this week i think, we look at the song choice

[Nicky91]

we've got a new mentor, KirkLancaster has agreed to be a mentor, and maybe also for this current series

[Strictly Jake]

To who, the boys?

Also well done little mix you smashed the Brits!!

[Nicky91]

To who, the boys?

Also well done little mix you smashed the Brits!!

yes, he will mentor the boys

i already said that the song choices have already been revealed


but he will also give his feedback after all acts have performed, i guess

[Nicky91]

so we are complete again in mentors :)

[Nicky91]

well i've informed my friends about the voting on sunday's show after the acts have performed

[Strictly Jake]

Nicky I have some backstage drama for you

Cher Lloyd has expressed to me quite a few times that she isn't happy singing fame. She doesn't think it shows who she is as an artist and thinks it's cheesy and old fashioned. I like it and I think it will show her in a different light but I do listen to my acts. I want them to be comfortable on stage. So we have changed our song at the last minute, we are singing Cher Lloyds version of just be good to me. She has written a few lines for herself to rap and we are going to go for a bit of a rock look, it'll look very 80s but very cool 80s and Cher is hard at work now as we speak getting her dance routine right

As for Amelia and Janets duet, Janet is nervous about singing against such a strong voice so we have been in singing rehearsals today getting the harmonies just right and I have told Amelia to strip it back just a little bit

As for Alexandra and Chers duet that's also changed. Cher felt bad that she decided not to perform a song I loved and she feels it's a song that will suit Alexandra so they have compromised for me and decided to sing it as a duet, so their duet is now naturi naughtons fame, the lyrics suit what basically is a battle or sing off song so that's the performance they are going for to try and sing and outperform each other and look sassy but really they are really good friends

The group performance is very good, it's very 80s but it's a song that suits lots of different styles and we have made sure each one of them stands out. I think it could be a highlight of the night

Alexandra's solo performance is set to be amazing, she was worried people may say she is cheating by mixing it with a recent song, but I reassured her that it's about time we had a mashup. Also it shows how good a singer she is but at the same time she can perform and move around the stage with this one

Janets solo performance is good she is very confident and she loves the song, she likes that it's upbeat she is a bit worried about dancing but I think on the night she'll be good and the dancers around her will make up for that anyway

Amelia's solo performance is also amazing she rivals Blondie herself, she is fierce, she is going for a leather outfit(think Olivia Newton John) and her hair will be a messy look, she will be doing a lot of dancing, basically I think it will be the biggest performance of the night

So yeah a few problems here and there but I think my girls are set now

some news updates from my team, all is going well in rehearsals


Tyler had a sore throat beginning of the week, so we had to change to the slower When you say nothing at all, but rehearsals are going good, he's quite confident about performing this song, and he hopes to deliver the emotions needed with this song


Sarah could be delivering her biggest performance yet in this competition, it's a difficult song to make it your own, but i'm confident about her singing it


and Tyler and Sarah, also perform so well in duet


i'm a proud overs coach so far in rehearsals

[Nicky91]

i'm already excited for tomorrow's liveshow

Nicky's comment: well the performance was again predictable, i just wish you guys did something different with the song, i find it boring, dull and if you want to smash an Iconic song like this, you need to have great vocal qualities, which you guys lack, disappointing

[Nicky91]
