[Strictly Jake]

Boys

Jack: I didn't mind this performance but it wasn't your best, Nicky if you didn't like it, why did you pick this song? I thought it was alright but you need to do something completely unique next time to get any further

Luke: it was one of my favourites by you. I like this song and it suited your rock edge. Great job

Overs

Tyler: I'm sorry but it was far to safe, I told you to take a risk and this wasn't it, it was forgettable and far from original

Sarah: your best performance to date you really suit the 80s. Your really improving in this show I hope you are still in next week

Groups:

Reggie n Bollie: good song choice. Dance moves were great, I agree you need to work on the vocals but you guys are good at what you do

Little mix: that was a pile of babybels on a cloud of candy floss, cheesy and far too sweet and I didn't like it... I LOVED IT! But I want your sass to come back next week what you did at the Brits was exceptional please bring that to the show

My girls

Cher: well it paid off in the end to change the song choice. Your nerves did show and there were a few pitch problems but your rapping and dancing were on point and I think you deserve to stay

Alex: I was nervous about picking a mashup but I feel it's your best performance to date and honestly could be a number 1 record. Standing ovation

Amelia: yes yes yes yes!!!!! Brilliant!!

Janet: well done Janet you delivered the best performance you have given so far, your dancing was actually quite good so you needn't be nervous, you looked like you were having fun and I detected a country twang to your voice this week so that's interesting, I'd quite like you to perform a duet with Tyler actually that would be cool

Duets:

Janet and Amelia: well done girls great song great harmonies great performance
Tyler and Sarah: Sarah good job, Tyler that didn't suit your voice in sorry
Alexandra and Cher: I disagree Nicky I think you both were really good! It was a powerful sing off

with Jack, Kirk will choose his songs from next week as he is now the coach of the boys


but about Tyler, i know it was a bit safe, but that was because of his sore throat, but i promise you more risks for next week, if we hopefully get the chance

[Nicky91]

time for a guest performance, it's Rihanna with the song Work from her new album Anti


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL1UzIK-flA

[Nicky91]

but Jake, i would also like to see Tyler duet with Janet, that would be awesome


but i feel like my team isn't popular with you, what should Tyler do to win you back?

[Nicky91]

:clap1:

and your votes Pete

[Strictly Jake]

All Tyler needs to do is sing something that isn't country like a popular Motown song and just make it his own. That makes him original. Him singing a song by another country singer makes him look like a tribute

[Nicky91]

well i learned something from you today


maybe next week, if i get the chance i'll see what song i can take risks with

i hope i get that chance of redemption with Tyler


by the way, what's the theme for next week

alright a news update for next series

ShakeyJake10, you will be mentoring the groups

KirkLancaster, you will be mentoring the Over 28's ( 28 or older )

Amy Jade, you will be mentoring the boys

and I'll be mentoring the girls next series

[kirklancaster]

Reggie N Bollie with the song Thriller by Michael Jackson

I'm afraid that these boy's infectious 'feel good' personalities are far in advance of their singing voices, but they are entertaining visually. The problem which they have here though is that ANY copy of an iconic classic is always going to prompt comparisons with the original, and this choice is SOME big ask when it is Thriller by MJ.

All such a comparison does unfortunately, is highlight Reggie and Bollies' deficiencies.

Cher Lloyd with the song Just be Good to me by SOS Band

I'm in a minority who doesn't feel that CL is a strong singer, but she is good enough to get away with her performsance here. Not the greatest performance for me however.

Sarah Cassidy with the song Every Breath You Take by The Police

Give a beautiful song to a beautiful girl who has a beautiful voice, and we get a beautiful result. I agree with Nicky that she put her own stamp on this and it is one of my favourite performances.

Luke Friend with the song Sweet Child O'Mine by Guns N Roses

It was a pleasant performance, but I cannot escape the feeling that Luke is slightly out of his comfort zone with this song and struggled to really interpret it by putting his own spin on it.

Little Mix with the song Heaven is a place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle

One of the most successful current girls group singing one of the most memorable commercial hits of the 80's by an ex-member of an highly successful girl group of that era, and the result is pure pop dynamite.

Amelia Lily with the song Call Me by Blondie

Debby Harry slayed me in the 70's and 80's, and Amelia Lily slays me now. THIS is THE performance of the night for me, and both Amelia and the song choice are beyond criticism. Perfect matching. I could see Richard Gere in 'American Gigolo' as I listened.

Janet Devlin with the song Let's Hear it for the boys by Deniece Williams

I love this song and Janet nails it perfectly - making it her own without destroying the essence of the original.

Jack Walton with the song Gold by Spandau Ballet

I like Jack, but this is not an easy song choice for him and I think he 'went through the motions' with his performance of it - as if he did not really care enough for the song. Not one of his better performances.

Alexandra Burke with the song mashup of Like a Prayer and Take me to Church by Madonna&Hozier

Alex is such a polished professional now and always seems to deliver a solid performance. I love this.

Tyler Hudson with the song When you say nothing at all by Keith Whitley

Tyler delivered the emotionally charged performance which this classic demands, but I did not enjoy it as much as I know I should have. I don't know if the reason is that the song has been 'covered to death' - which isn't Tyler's fault - but it just did not grab me like some of the others have.

First duet of the night, Amelia Lily and Janet Devlin with the song Don't you forget about me by Simple Minds.

Their voices melded beautifully, but I am such an Amelia Lily fan, that virtually ANYONE singing a duet with her her is going to be eclipsed visually and vocally - in my opinion.

Still, a really brilliantly enjoyable duet and I forgive Janet's slight struggle for prominence.

Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy with the song Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush

Anything by Kate Bush is UP THERE and this classic song is no exception.

A great song choice for this duos voices which synched perfectly, and a great performance.

Third and final duet is Alexandra Burke and Cher Lloyd with the song Fame by Irene Cara.

I think Cher'sweaker voice and much more limited range is the reason why this duet did not quite come off. I have to say that of all Jake's girls, Cher is the one who is most legitimately labelled as a 'One Trick Pony' and outside of her own 'bag' she struggles - especially when paired with more powerful singers.

First group performance is Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy and Jack Walton with the song Karma Chameleon by Culture Club

WOW - A homage to Boy George's classic which didn't mangle the melody out of all recognoition. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this version and think it would be a massive hit if it was released as a single.

Second and final group performance, here are Amelia, Alexandra, Cher and Janet with the song What a Feeling by Flashdance ( Irene Cara)

The two powerful voices here manage to all but hide Cher's weaker voice and range, and all three pull this off. Such a seminal song doesn't harm their cause either. A really great coupling of singers to song.

My Vote:

1) Amelia Lily.
2) Little Mix
3) Sarah Cassidy
4) Alexandra Burke

2) Little Mix
3) Sarah Cassidy

well thank you for your feedback and votes


and Finally Sarah is getting the positive feedback


let me explain Tyler had been struggling with a sore throat, so this was not the song which i wanted for him, that was Love Changes ( Everything) by Climie Fisher


i think Cher is one of the weakest, so i agree with you, Kirk

[Will.]

I vote for Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy

[Nicky91]

[Mystic Mock]

My votes go to based on song choices.

Reggie N Bollie
Sarah Cassidy
Luke Friend
Alexandra Burke

Luke Friend's is a little obvious, but passable.

[Strictly Jake]

Currently Jack and Tyler are in danger with Jack on 0 votes and Tyler on 1 vote, but Cher has 2 so it's very tight so far

Please vote Cher through people she has lots more to give

[Strictly Jake]

And at the top at the moment is Alexandra, with Amelia and little mix not far behind

I predict those will be the three in the final

[EspeonBB]

I vote for:
Amelia Lily
Alexandra Burke
Little Mix
Cher Lloyd

[Nicky91]

Currently Jack and Tyler are in danger with Jack on 0 votes and Tyler on 1 vote, but Cher has 2 so it's very tight so far

Please vote Cher through people she has lots more to give


but what do you recommend for Tyler as his sing off song?


and please i don't want to lose Tyler, as i want to have my redemption with him, and next week i promise there will be a motown hit if he goes through

[Nicky91]

I vote for:
Amelia Lily
Alexandra Burke
Little Mix
Cher Lloyd

thank you for voting EspeonBB

[Nicky91]

My votes go to based on song choices.

Reggie N Bollie

Luke Friend's is a little obvious, but passable.

Thank you Mock, for voting

[Nicky91]

And at the top at the moment is Alexandra, with Amelia and little mix not far behind

I predict those will be the three in the final

i think Alexandra, Amelia and Little Mix and Sarah in the top 4



but i'm a little bit a fan of Amelia


look your girls are also really great, and Janet and Amelia are also a bit my talents this series


i think Sarah could be a dark horse, lots of votes so far

[Nicky91]

i'm also preparing myself for Tyler to be in the sing off


i think i have the song to blow you away, Jake

[Nicky91]

let's also wait today for Amy Jade's feedback and votes, and that will later today, because Amy is at college, and i respect that


Amy Jade is really a good mentor in my game

[Nicky91]

alright Kazanne's votes are:

Tyler Hudson

Amelia Lily

Janet Devlin

Sarah Cassidy



she wanted me to write down her votes

[Strictly Jake]

Next week Nicky I said for girl bands vs boy bands but I also put that for the top 6 theme as they will do two songs then. So it's not girl band vs boy band this week. I think the theme should be Motown. Are you ok with that Nicky?

[Nicky91]

Next week Nicky I said for girl bands vs boy bands but I also put that for the top 6 theme as they will do two songs then. So it's not girl band vs boy band this week. I think the theme should be Motown. Are you ok with that Nicky?

yeah, Motown would be great, and hopefully i can redeem my mistake from this week with Tyler


but also Amy Jade is also gonna give her feedback and votes i guess, i suppose later today after college

[Nicky91]

i'll give the votes from Daniel:

Tyler Hudson

Amelia Lily

Janet Devlin

Reggie N Bollie

[Strictly Jake]

Well that makes things a little more interesting

Jack looks to be definitely in the bottom with 0 votes

But now

Tyler Cher and Luke are all in danger all on 3 votes!

So it's so incredibly close

Amelia leads the way with 10 votes
Alexandra has 9 votes
Little mix have 8 votes
Janet and Sarah both have 5 votes
Reggie n Bollie have 4 votes

[Nicky91]

Well that makes things a little more interesting

Janet and Sarah both have 5 votes
Reggie n Bollie have 4 votes


well Jake, i can't wait for Amy Jade's feedback, maybe some more constructive criticism for your acts as well


but Jack isn't proving popular again like last week also with 0 votes

[Strictly Jake]

I think it may be Jacks time to go

[Nicky91]

I think it may be Jacks time to go

yeah, i think so too


i picked the song Gold by Spandau Ballet for him, because i thought he would make an acoustic version of that song, but he chose not to do it acoustic.


who do you think Amy Jade will vote for?

[Strictly Jake]

yeah, i think so too


i picked the song Gold by Spandau Ballet for him, because i thought he would make an acoustic version of that song, but he chose not to do it acoustic.


who do you think Amy Jade will vote for?

I think possibly Luke in which case it will be between Cher and Tyler as to who will join Jack in the sing off as I don't think she will vote for either of them

I think she may vote for Sarah, Amelia, Alexandra and Luke

[Nicky91]

I think possibly Luke in which case it will be between Cher and Tyler as to who will join Jack in the sing off as I don't think she will vote for either of them

I think she may vote for Sarah, Amelia, Alexandra and Luke

well i'm happy with her as a mentor


i think Jack is the weakest of the 10


and tomorrow's top 10 group performance with K-POP Sensation Sehun

and a guest performance from Katy Perry with her single This is how we do

[Crimson Dynamo]

I vote for Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy

[Nicky91]

I vote for Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy

[RichardG]

and tomorrow's top 10 group performance with K-POP Sensation Sehun


Here for it :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

I will post my comments soon!

[Amy Jade]

Reggie & Bollie
Boys! Please do not listen to the judges calling you predictible, you are far from it and you know your audience and go all out to please them. This was a great performance from you and it had everyone on their feet!

Cher Lloyd
Cher, this was fine...but that was all it was, I think you are easily the weakest girl left and this was just bland.

Sarah Cassidy
Wow! This was utterly AMYmazing, I could tell you were in your element up there! fantastic song choice from Nicky.

Luke Friend
First of all I think the judging from Nicky is unfair, I pick out a song for Reggie & Bollie which is their style and it's called predicable and Luke you take a song that is probably out of your comfort zone and get told you need to stick with your acoustic sound...Luke you did fantastic babe!

Little Mix
:worship: :worship: :worship:

Amelia Lily
I think this song is way overdone and quite tired, so many girls on the X Factor sing it...I feel like it is a bit cliché. Nice vocals but not my cup of tea, sorry.

Janet Devlin
I really love this song and I like the version you went with, brilliant job!

Jack Walton
I disagree with the judges, I thought this was very solid and your vocals were on point! If anything the song probably let you down but I enjoyed this a lot!

Alexandra Burke
Not really fitting the brief this one, one song is modern so I'll leave the others to judge and move on.

Tyler Hudson
First of all I didn't mean to upset you last week, I think you are a good guy and very talented and I know you wanted to impress me this week so I feel awful now for saying I didn't like that performance. I LOVE it! utterly flawless from start to finish, well done Tyler

My Votes this week are for...

Sarah Cassidy

Luke Friend

Jack Walton

And...

Tyler Hudson

[Strictly Jake]

I really don't know if my girls are ever going to impress you Amy Jade. Bawls and walks off the panel Gary Barlow style

well thank you Amy :clap1: :worship:


but next week motown, so Reggie N Bollie, please a nice song from them to wow me again okay

[Nicky91]

I really don't know if my girls are ever going to impress you Amy Jade. Bawls and walks off the panel Gary Barlow style

Tyler was flawless according to Amy, and she gave him her vote along with Sarah

[Strictly Jake]

Tyler was flawless according to Amy, and she gave him her vote along with Sarah

Don't get me wrong I like Tyler I just thought it was really safe and I wanted him to take a risk. Motown week is going to be his week, so I'm glad he's through along with Sarah

I think I have lost Cher now though I think all three of you are going to save Jack

I just don't know what song choices I'm supposed to pick for the girls to impress Amy, just gives me no clue what the girls should be doing to impress her

She said Cher couldn't hit the high notes, so I gave Cher more of a rap song

She said Alexandra did a safe boring overdone song, so I gave her a risky mashup

She said Amelia didn't do a great job of not one of the best Kelly Clarkson songs, so I gave her more of a rock song this time

As for Janet, I gave a her a dull inspiring song last week so this time I gave her an uptempo different song but she didn't give her a vote

[Nicky91]

Don't get me wrong I like Tyler I just thought it was really safe and I wanted him to take a risk. Motown week is going to be his week, so I'm glad he's through along with Sarah

I think I have lost Cher now though I think all three of you are going to save Jack

I just don't know what song choices I'm supposed to pick for the girls to impress Amy, just gives me no clue what the girls should be doing to impress her

She said Cher couldn't hit the high notes, so I gave Cher more of a rap song

She said Alexandra did a safe boring overdone song, so I gave her a risky mashup

She said Amelia didn't do a great job of not one of the best Kelly Clarkson songs, so I gave her more of a rock song this time

As for Janet, I gave a her a dull inspiring song last week so this time I gave her an uptempo different song but she didn't give her a vote


well you haven't lost Cher yet, because i don't know yet who i vote for in the sing off

maybe i eliminate Jack or Cher, i don't know yet


so have faith Jake :)


and i gave your girls Amelia, Alexandra and Janet a vote, first time i voted for Alexandra, because she owned the song

[Strictly Jake]

What happens if me and you vote to send Jack home and Amy and Kirk send Cher home, is is whoever received the most votes that will be saved?

[Nicky91]

What happens if me and you vote to send Jack home and Amy and Kirk send Cher home, is is whoever received the most votes that will be saved?

then we will go to deadlock, and deadlock is based on the most public vote



but again i don't know who i send home, i will make my choice on the sing off performances who wants it the most

[Amy Jade]

I'd save Jack over Cher simply to save Kirk from having only one act left personally

[Nicky91]

I'd save Jack over Cher simply to save Kirk from having only one act left personally

well at the results show, they have to sing their save me songs first



and Amy, Motown week are you confident for your groups?

[Nicky91]

and Amy you have my apologies for calling Reggie N Bollie predictable


and i like your feedback, you are honest, and i really hope Jake will do something with this feedback

[Nicky91]

Results are at 17:00 PM


here's the group performance of our top 10 with K-POP singer Sehun with the song So What by Pink


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUhp_ytQK5c

[Nicky91]

that was a nice group performance, let's head to the couch for some comments from our acts;


Nicky: so Tyler you did great, and you did impress Amy Jade

Tyler: i'm really happy and next week motown, and nice song as well from Debarge, it's called Rhythm of the night


Nicky: hi girls Amelia, Janet and Cher, feeling nervous

Amelia: really confident about tonight

Janet: well my nerves are there tonight

Cher: i have to wait and see about the results


Nicky: and hi Jack, you did a song called gold by spandau ballet, do you think you can win gold

Jack: well i don't know, i'm quite middle of the road

[Nicky91]

the voting lines are now closed, results are in 30 minutes

[Nicky91]

but the results are in

alright the first 3 acts who are safe from elimination are:

Sarah Cassidy

Amelia Lily

Janet Devlin

[Nicky91]

also returning are:

Reggie N Bollie

Little Mix

Tyler Hudson

[Nicky91]

alright the first act in the sing off is..................


Cher Lloyd :( :( :bawling:



and the second act in the sing off is......................


Jack Walton

[Nicky91]

alright first reactions:


Cher Lloyd: really really gutted, i worked really hard this week to avoid the bottom 2, and i'm gonna fight to stay in



Jack Walton: maybe i'm not that popular, well i am just gonna sing the best i can, but i'm in the bottom 2 with a good friend of mine

[Nicky91]

alright singing first in the sing off, it's Cher Lloyd with the song Love the way you Lie by Eminem ft Rihanna


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xenwHeU4CaQ


Nicky's comment: Cher, if this was your performance this week, i would've voted for you to stay out of the sing off, damn i like this side of you

you are maybe not the vocally best singer of the competition, but i admire your fighting spirit :blush:

[Nicky91]

wow, but next to sing for survival, it's Jack Walton with the song Who you Are by Jessie J


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86rgra3js5Y



Nicky's comment: where does this come from, Jack good performance and why is this sing off performance way better than those dull and bland songs you sing in the liveshows

:clap1: :clap1:

[Nicky91]

well, a difficult decision for me,

Jack to start off with you, you are a talented singer, and i think Kirk could have some good songs for you to sing, but all you have shown us is Dull and bland performances, but the talent is right there with you


Cher, we have a love/hate relationship, the one time i like you, and the other time i love to hate you, you are a Rap Goddess :clap1: and you have quite a quirky and funny personality, and i admire your fighting spirit, but your vocals in the ballads isn't quite good, maybe you can work on that with Jake


my save me vote goes with to, Cher Lloyd :clap1: :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

Mine goes to Jack

[Nicky91]

Mine goes to Jack

well that's short but powerful


but could you explain why your vote goes to Jack

[Amy Jade]

Because he is a better singer and Cher released Swagger Jagger

[Nicky91]

Because he is a better singer and Cher released Swagger Jagger

well Amy, what should Jake's girls do to impress you next time?

[Amy Jade]

Well hopefully Cher goes but Janet impressed me I just felt Tyler deserved a vote over her

[Nicky91]

Well hopefully Cher goes but Janet impressed me I just felt Tyler deserved a vote over her

and i still thank you for your vote


Tyler will be singing Rhythm of the night by Debarge

[Amy Jade]

What's the theme?

[Nicky91]

What's the theme?

Motown

[Nicky91]

now a guest performance by Alvaro Soler and Jennifer Lopez with the song El Mismo Sol


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

[Strictly Jake]

I save Cher she is my act and has a lot more to give she is quite versatile and if I get the songs right she could go far. Yeah Amy haha she did release swagger Jagger but I will never allow her to do any song like that I think with me as a mentor she will really improve and that sing off was your best performance so far! Jack I feel we have seen it all from you I'm sorry

[Strictly Jake]

Ooh fancy! Guess the budget has increased then. Talking of money I can't believe the X factor panel get paid millions for basically what we are doing in this game. They don't even have to pick the songs, a team of people do that. It's ridiculous

[Nicky91]

Ooh fancy! Guess the budget has increased then. Talking of money I can't believe the X factor panel get paid millions for basically what we are doing in this game. They don't even have to pick the songs, a team of people do that. It's ridiculous

and we are choosing better songs :) :)



well and next series as well starting with a Top 16 in the liveshows, 4 acts from each category


maybe a Top 17, with 1 wildcard from a random category, depending on the variety of good singers, performers

[Nicky91]

This is cool!

and we can compare ourselves to the judges


I'll be more a Gary Barlow type of Judge/mentor


I find Amy Jade, the more Simon Cowell type of Judge/mentor, in a good way, she's honest


i can't compare you with any Judge on x factor, Jake, but that's good you have your own style

[Strictly Jake]

I think I'm a male Cheryl or Danni?

[Nicky91]

I think I'm a male Cheryl or Danni?

haha :)



well and we haven't had any shock exits yet, also something different from real x factor

[Nicky91]

Jake, i've got an idea for a duet this week


Amelia Lily with Tyler Hudson singing Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars

[Strictly Jake]

Jake, i've got an idea for a duet this week


Amelia Lily with Tyler Hudson singing Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars

Yeah sounds good

Maybe Alex can duet with little mix
Cher can duet with Reggie n Bollie
Luke Janet Sarah can sing as a trio

Not sure on the songs though, it should be Motown themed though

[Nicky91]

and Kirk has gave me a message about Luke's song choice


Luke Friend will be singing Stop her on Sight by Edwin Starr

[Nicky91]

Yeah sounds good

Maybe Alex can duet with little mix
Cher can duet with Reggie n Bollie
Luke Janet Sarah can sing as a trio

Not sure on the songs though, it should be Motown themed though


yeah, sounds fun



but to be honest with you, Jake i think Cher is now the weakest of the top 9, so i wouldn't be surprised seeing her in the bottom 2 once again

[Strictly Jake]

I think she will be really good this weekend though so I hope she can avoid the sing off

Janet wanted to change her song. She is now singing please mr postman by the supremes but the Saturdays version

[Strictly Jake]

Also

Amelia will sing Candice Glovers version of heard it through the grapevine

Cher will sing sugababes version of for once in my life

Janet will sing the Saturdays version of please mr postman

Alexandra will sing Thelma houstons version of don't leave my this way

All of them will sing little mix version of baby where did our love go

Cher and Janet will sing cleopatras version of I want you back

Amelia and Alexandrs will sing Amelia and Kelly rowlands version of river deep mountain high

[Nicky91]

okay good song choices, and good luck for motown week

[Nicky91]

well Jake, who do you think could be leaving next?

[Strictly Jake]

well Jake, who do you think could be leaving next?

Hmm I think your right about Cher but I hope she gets votes

Let's go through them

Alexandra: safe
Amelia: safe
Cher: danger
Janet: possible danger
Luke: safe
Little mix: safe
Reggie n Bollie: danger
Sarah: safe
Tyler: safe

So possibly a bottom three between Cher Janet and Reggie n Bollie

[Amy Jade]

Just saying I won't be a judge for series 2 and I'm only carrying on this series because Nicky is lovely and I respect him.

09 Alexandra Burke

[Calderyon]

I was asked to vote for them, so...

Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy

I´ll vote for Little Mix and Reggie `N´ Bollie too, since they are the only ones
that i have seen perform.

[kirklancaster]

Here's my feedback first:

01 Cher Lloyd

I felt this song choice was the wrong one even before I heard the performance, and I am afraid I felt no differently after I heard it. I do think that out of all the performers Cher definitely is the more limited in range and style.

02 Luke Friend

I recall Luke singing the Ben E. King & The Drifters classic 'Stand By Me' in 2013 on the X-Factor and though he did struggle a little with that classic he had his moments, but the tempo of this Edwin Starr soul classic suited Luke's vocal ability more and I think he smashed this.

03 Tyler Hudson

Pleasantly surprised by Tyler's performance and vote this a great effort.

04 Amelia Lily

What can I say – Amelia really delivers no matter what song she sings.

05 Sarah Cassidy

A great performance. I enjoyed this.

06 Little Mix

Great song choice, and the girls are really polished now in every performance they deliver.

07 Reggie N Bollie

It's unfair to expect more from these fun guys than they are able to deliver, so no surprises, but still an upbeat, feel-good performance of a classic.

08 Janet Devlin

I did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would, but perhaps that's because I always expect more from Janet – as though she is still not giving it everything.

09 Alexandra Burke

Another highly professional performance and 100% soul and emotion from a real Star.

And my VOTE:

1) Amelia Lily
2) Luke Friend
3)Little Mix
4) Alexandra Burke.

[Mystic Mock]

I've edited my vote to add Reggie N Bollie Nicky91.

[Nicky91]

I've edited my vote to add Reggie N Bollie Nicky91.

thank you Mock :)

[Strictly Jake]

Firstly well done to all the acts you were all exceptional again...

Firstly the girls

Alexandra

This was bound to be your week your so soulful. As Nicky says your a diva and I can see the potential in you. I want you to reach the final you really deserve it

Amelia

This week I wanted to show a different side to you, a more soulful side, and you my dear rose to the challenge, that was honestly exceptional

Cher

I fear I may have given you the wrong song, but I really liked your version of it, I so badly want you to avoid the sing off this time, I'm not sure why your not receiving votes because I believe your a star

Janet

I loved that I really did. You really suit this kind of music. To be honest Janet you have shown your versatility the past number of weeks and Nicky says you deserve to be in the top 5 but I can see you being in that top 2

The last remaining boy

Luke

Kirk has given you a brilliant song and another Edwin Starr song is called war, well you definitely just made this a battle! I think I could see you reaching that final

The groups

Little mix
Ok girls I enjoyed it I always enjoy watching you but I want to see the sassy side of you I think it was slightly on the dull side but you will be safe

Reggie n Bollie
Really good guys, I hope Nicky saw what he wanted to see, it was a more soulful performance and you showed your vocals off. I think that could be one of your best performances

The overs

Tyler
Thankyou Tyler! You finally did it! You impressed me! Thankyou for taking on my advice and it really paid off. Well done Tyler

Sarah
I think it was a good song choice for you and it was enjoyable but will it be enough for people to vote for you, we shall see

As for all the duets etc you all did such a good job and your all emerging as stars

[Strictly Jake]

I vote for

Tyler
Reggie n Bollie
Luke
Sarah

Kirk has given you a brilliant song and another Edwin Starr song is called war, well you definitely just made this a battle! I think I could see you reaching that final

The groups

Little mix
Ok girls I enjoyed it I always enjoy watching you but I want to see the sassy side of you I think it was slightly on the dull side but you will be safe

Reggie n Bollie
Really good guys, I hope Nicky saw what he wanted to see, it was a more soulful performance and you showed your vocals off. I think that could be one of your best performances

The overs

Tyler
Thankyou Tyler! You finally did it! You impressed me! Thankyou for taking on my advice and it really paid off. Well done Tyler

Sarah
I think it was a good song choice for you and it was enjoyable but will it be enough for people to vote for you, we shall see

As for all the duets etc you all did such a good job and your all emerging as stars


well Reggie N Bollie got my vote for the first time, so they've impressed me


and very happy Tyler has impressed you, i took a risk and it paid off


but my prediction for the danger zone


Cher Lloyd and Sarah Cassidy :(

[Nicky91]

I vote for

Tyler
Reggie n Bollie
Luke
Sarah

thank you for your votes Jake


yeah Tyler got your vote :) :cheer2: :cheer2:

[Nicky91]

let me explain, Jake


i see a lot of potential in Tyler, as a true dark horse, i enjoy coaching the overs


Sharon was real fun to work with, i still feel she was a too early elimination :(

[kirklancaster]

Firstly well done to all the acts you were all exceptional again...

Firstly the girls

Alexandra

This was bound to be your week your so soulful. As Nicky says your a diva and I can see the potential in you. I want you to reach the final you really deserve it

Amelia

This week I wanted to show a different side to you, a more soulful side, and you my dear rose to the challenge, that was honestly exceptional

Cher

I fear I may have given you the wrong song, but I really liked your version of it, I so badly want you to avoid the sing off this time, I'm not sure why your not receiving votes because I believe your a star

Janet

I loved that I really did. You really suit this kind of music. To be honest Janet you have shown your versatility the past number of weeks and Nicky says you deserve to be in the top 5 but I can see you being in that top 2

The last remaining boy

Luke

Kirk has given you a brilliant song and another Edwin Starr song is called war, well you definitely just made this a battle! I think I could see you reaching that final

As for all the duets etc you all did such a good job and your all emerging as stars

Thanks for your kind comments Jake. :thumbs:

[Amy Jade]

I'll judge in a minute

[Amy Jade]

Cher Lloyd
I agree with the other judges this wasn't the song for you, I think you needed something special this week to rebound after being in the sing off, I feel this is actually your weakest week and you are in real danger.

Luke Friend
Fabulous song choice from Kirk, I think you have a very unique tone to your voice that fits wonderfully with this song. Brilliant job Kirk and Luke.

Little Mix
I felt it was time to give the girls a bit of a ballad type song but wanted to keep it as a happy tone, I struggled this week picking songs for you as there wasn't much to choose from but I don't regret picking this song for you I think you did outstandingly!

Tyler Hudson
Tyler...that was amazing! I will admit at first I thought you wouldn't be my cup of tea but week after week you wow me!

Amelia Lily
I absolutely hate this song, I find it insanely dull and you singing it didn't change my opinion at all...sorry.

Janet Devlin
Janet I was worried to see you have a song change, I think it's risky to have people look forward to your 1st choice only to go another way...However...This was fantastic, your voice with this song gave me chills! Nailed it.

Reggie & Bollie
I am so glad people have voted for you this week! I think picking fun songs is the way forward to get the voters dancing. Well done R&B :clap1:

Sarah Cassidy
Yesssss! This was bloody brilliant Sarah!

Alexandra Burke
Perfect song choice and powerful vocals, this is faultless Alexandra!

My Votes this week go to...

Luke Friend

Tyler Hudson

Sarah Cassidy

And...

Alexandra Burke

[Strictly Jake]

Your welcome Kirk, only you voted for Luke so I think you might have to change that as we can't vote for our own acts. Thanks Amy Jade for the feedback your so brilliantly honest, better than Simon cowell imo haha! I'm sorry Cher and Amelia didn't impress you but Alex and Janet did so that's 50/50. I think Cher is in the sing off unfortunately but against who I have no idea now

[Nicky91]

well the sing off is really too close to say who will be in the sing off


i'm gonna chat with some of the Top 9;


Nicky: well i'm with Tyler, and Tyler what did you think of your song and duet with Amelia


Tyler: Amelia is really amazing, i would buy her album anytime, flawless performer, and i really hope to compete against her in the final


Nicky: wow Tyler good to hear your ambition in this competition, and we head to Cher Lloyd, are you nervous for the results


Cher: well last week i was in the sing off, i'm expecting to be there again and then we'll see if i stay


Nicky: okay, Cher good luck and we head to Amelia, you nailed a soul song

Amelia: i really want to thank Jake for this song, it's the favourite song from my mom and dad, so thank you, and hopefully next week another great song

but Tyler thank you for the compliment, and i enjoyed singing with you

[Nicky91]

well tomorrow, The Top 9 will be doing a group performance to the song Read All About it with well-known singer Emeli Sande

[Nicky91]

time to welcome one of the biggest Motown Diva's


it's Diana Ross in duet with Alexandra Burke, with the song I'm Coming Out

[Nicky91]

and our final guest performance


it's Jermaine Jackson with the dutch world famous Andre Rieu with the song When the Rain begins to fall


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDa5JESHoc0

[Nicky91]

tomorrow in the results show


guest performances from Kesha, and Justin Bieber

[Nicky91]

okay some votes from my friend Reece


Tyler Hudson

Sarah Cassidy

Reggie N Bollie

Janet Devlin

[Strictly Jake]

As it stands either Tyler or Sarah will join Cher in the sing off, as Kirk is yet to change his vote from Luke I think it should be him who decides who joins her

Good news for whoever leaves though, all the top 9 have made the live tour! Congratulations!!!

[Strictly Jake]

Also Nicky you shouldn't really decide who people should vote for and tell them to vote for them, you told Reece to vote for all four of them, it's a bit unfair on the other acts, I know we can all do the same but I'm trying to play this game fair

[Nicky91]

Also Nicky you shouldn't really decide who people should vote for and tell them to vote for them, you told Reece to vote for all four of them, it's a bit unfair on the other acts, I know we can all do the same but I'm trying to play this game fair

sorry, got a little carried away by this lovely game

[Nicky91]

As it stands either Tyler or Sarah will join Cher in the sing off, as Kirk is yet to change his vote from Luke I think it should be him who decides who joins her

Good news for whoever leaves though, all the top 9 have made the live tour! Congratulations!!!

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1: , for the live tour news


well i think Cher will be going home, as Amy is a fan of both Tyler and Sarah

and Kirk also liked Tyler, but also liked Sarah

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah Cher will be going home unfortunately I know that but she needs a sing off with someone and she has an amazing song in the sing off. It could even see her get saved

[Nicky91]

Yeah Cher will be going home unfortunately I know that but she needs a sing off with someone and she has an amazing song in the sing off. It could even see her get saved

well against Tyler, i think Amy won't vote to save cher, and perhaps Kirk also won't



but Tyler, has also an amazing song in the sing off, and he's got a lot of ambition, and i want him in next week, because i got a really great R&B song which he could smash.


Cher would have a chance against Sarah, tiny chance but not much

[Nicky91]

Danger Zone:

Tyler 3 votes

Sarah 3 votes

Luke 3 votes i think, because kirk's vote on luke doesn't count



Cher has 2 votes, so she's a definite for the sing off, i think

[Nicky91]

well the voting lines have been closed


now a group performance: here's our top 9 with Emeli Sande with the song Read all about it


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

[Nicky91]

the first acts to be saved are.............


Amelia Lily

and

Janet Devlin

[Nicky91]

okay the next acts to be saved are..................

Reggie N Bollie


Alexandra Burke


Little Mix

[Nicky91]

the first act in the sing off is......................


Cher Lloyd



and the second act to sing for survival is..................


Tyler Hudson :o

[Nicky91]

singing for survival, it's Cher Lloyd with the song Sirens


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDVOd2MxmUM



Nicky's comment: Cher you are in this position again, and now you're up against a better singer and performer

this song was good, but i'm getting the one trick pony with you, your rapping is amazing, but if you sing anything other than hip hop, it's horrible


well i hate that i've been Always negative about you, but it's your time to go


Cher you're a sweet girl, never ever stop singing :) :clap1: :clap1: for your rapping

[Nicky91]

also singing for survival, it's Tyler Hudson with the song Let it Go by James Bay


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLVi2tPjhpE




Nicky's comment: Tyler it's really hard seeing you in this position, for me you really delivered a great performance, with rhythm of the night, and this sing off song shows you are very versatile as a singer, and i enjoy coaching you

[Nicky91]

okay, not a hard choice for me


I'll Save the better singer (also my act) in this sing off, Tyler Hudson

[Strictly Jake]

Well I know Cher is going but can you at least put up the version I said(it says Cher Lloyd breaks down on the today show) she doesn't but she sings bloody amazing please change it to that!!

But yeah I save Cher she is a star

[Nicky91]

Well I know Cher is going but can you at least put up the version I said(it says Cher Lloyd breaks down on the today show) she doesn't but she sings bloody amazing please change it to that!!

But yeah I save Cher she is a star

like this :)

[Amy Jade]

Having listened to both 'save me' songs (I listened to the Today version of sirens, Jake) and I think both were fantastic but based purely on those performances I am going to save...

Cher

Sirens is my favourite song by her and that performance was faultless. Sorry, Tyler.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh my goodness Amy I didn't expect that in the slightest. Oh Kirk please save Cher I know you haven't liked her but I know what I'm doing with her now if you watch that video I'm on about you will see how much potential she has

[Nicky91]

what, i'm gutted for Tyler


:bawling: :bawling:

[Nicky91]

Oh my goodness Amy I didn't expect that in the slightest. Oh Kirk please save Cher I know you haven't liked her but I know what I'm doing with her now if you watch that video I'm on about you will see how much potential she has

well Jake, but you gotta admit, Tyler is the better singer



so Kirk, i'm willing to fight for Tyler, he's a good singer and i enjoy choosing songs for him, and this week i took a risk for him, and he smashed it


please Kirk save Tyler, he's a good singer and he has more to give in this competition

[Nicky91]

i'm gonna talk to our both sing off contestants


Nicky: Tyler you are in danger of leaving the competition

Tyler: well i don't know what more i could've done to impress the judges, and Amy, it doesn't matter Cher performed that really with emotions, i think one of Jake's girls could win it this series


Nicky: Cher, that performance was so good, it had me to tears

Cher: you know who i am a fighter, and i hate being here against Tyler, he's a very good country singer


Nicky: back to you Tyler, if you leave what is your highlight of the series

Tyler: singing with Amelia, I Loved that



Nicky: same to you cher, if you leave what is your highlight of the series

Cher: working with my mentor, Jake he has Always believed in my quality

[Amy Jade]

My pick was based purely on the sing off, I think Cher sang Sirens amazingly in that clip and the emotion just really connected with me.

[Nicky91]

My pick was based purely on the sing off, I think Cher sang Sirens amazingly in that clip and the emotion just really connected with me.

well i saw it as well, really genuine emotion her singing that song


and Amy you are a great mentor, can't i still convince you for another series?

[Strictly Jake]

I'm sad to see anyone leave at this point

Tyler you are an amazing country singer you are great at what you do and I'm glad I helped you take on a challenge, for me you gave it your best this week

Cher, I have struggled picking the right songs for you sometimes but you are such a star, you can sing you showed that in your save me performance , you can rap, you can dance, you can perform and your so cheeky and loveable we need a star like you

Based on this being the X factor and not the voice, Cher should stay

It's RnB week next week and Cher will own it trust me

[Strictly Jake]

Nicky or Amy could you please post that video of Cher up on here so others can see it. U don't know how to. Thanks lovelies

[Nicky91]

here's Cher Lloyd with her song


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDVOd2MxmUM

[Nicky91]

I'm sad to see anyone leave at this point

Tyler you are an amazing country singer you are great at what you do and I'm glad I helped you take on a challenge, for me you gave it your best this week

Cher, I have struggled picking the right songs for you sometimes but you are such a star, you can sing you showed that in your save me performance , you can rap, you can dance, you can perform and your so cheeky and loveable we need a star like you

Based on this being the X factor and not the voice, Cher should stay

It's RnB week next week and Cher will own it trust me


well Jake, i know it's not the voice, and next series I'll mentor the overs again, they are my favourite category


and Tyler has really come far, i'm proud at him for making the top 9


and Cher if you stay for next week, then Jake i hope you come with a song she'll own and something i like


your girls are also a bit my acts :)

[kirklancaster]

I am voting to save Tyler. I beleive that outside her own very limited 'bag', Cher is a 'one trick pony' and Tyler is the much better, more versatile singer. Sorry.

[Amy Jade]

DDVOd2MxmUM

I think she sounds amazing in this :flutter:

[Strictly Jake]

She does sound amazing in that video

I can't believe Tyler has been called more versatile than Cher! Pah!

Devastated she is going

Cher I really believe in you and I will continue working with you outside this show your amazing so never give up

As for my 3 remaining girls we are going to really step it up!

Nicky can you post Chers goodbye song that I said, thanks

[Ammi]

...awww, did I miss the vote..so sorry to see Cher go but well done Tyler..:love:..

[Strictly Jake]

Erm actually that's true Nicky you said ammi would be a guest mentor this week and can give a vote. So ammi do you want to save Cher? Because I forgot your supposed to be doing this

[Amy Jade]

This is confusing haha

[Strictly Jake]

Well I thought cos Kirk saved Tyler it goes to deadlock, Tyler got more public votes so would be safe, however ammi was supposed to be a guest mentor which I assume she gets to vote aswell who stays, she thought she missed the vote but I don't think the votes closed yet

[Nicky91]

alright, it goes to deadlock with 2 votes each


the act surviving to fight another week is with only 1 vote difference is........



Tyler Hudson, i'm so relieved thank you for your vote Kirk, you won't regret this decision :cheer2:

[Nicky91]

but sadly leaving us, Cher Lloyd


9. Cher Lloyd

Nicky: Cher, one question who is going to win this first series?

Cher: Amelia, she has got the whole package, good singer and performer

[Nicky91]

okay, sorry for you Jake seeing your star Cher leave, but it was a hard decision


it were 2 good performers in the sing off



Jake, keep your head up because you still have 3 awesome acts, i think Janet is slowly getting there as a contender, and Amelia for next week i want you to give us that wow factor again with Amelia


Kirk, Tyler won't let you down for next week, i got a cool Rihanna song for him for next week



but i'm gutted for Cher, that was her best performance in the sing off, if she wasn't against one of my acts i would've voted to save her



Cher, keep on singing, because you sing and rap with passion and emotion

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Nicky91]

i've discussed the voting of Ammi, with her and she forgot but she'll be a guest mentor for next week, okay

[Nicky91]

R.Kelly

Pitbull

okay

[Nicky91]

Kirk gave me his song for Luke


Luke Friend will be singing Back at One by Brian McKnight

Disturbia by Rihanna


Sarah Cassidy, the song you'll be singing is..................

Halo by Beyonce



Tyler and Sarah will be singing a duet, the song is...........

Guess we aren't waiting then Nicky...

But my song choices are

Alexandra will be singing shackles(praise you) by Mary Mary

Amelia will be singing sweet dreams by Beyoncé

Janet will be singing Airplanes(medley) a mashup by a singer called Megan Nicole

They will be performing two songs all together

The first one is hit em up style by Blu Cantrall(DIVAS version)

[Nicky91]

well i guess there are some more good songs left for Amy Jade to choose from


but Amelia and Sarah, well who can sing the best Beyonce song, Sarah had one advantage i took my overs on a masterclass with Beyonce


anyway good song choices, especially Janet's song sounds interesting

[Strictly Jake]

I think you have picked good choices Nicky, neither of the songs are safe so I'm glad you have been a bit riskier

I like Tyler's choice, I was hoping that you would pick stay by Rihanna, but still a good choice

Sarah's song is very challenging but I think she will do well

I'm looking forward to seeing what Amy picks!

[Nicky91]

Interesting choice for Reggie n Bollie I see your taking them down a less novelty route I like what your doing

As for little mix that performance was the favourite of mine that they did in the live shows so they definitely get my vote!!

[Nicky91]

[Strictly Jake]

mine as well, Jake about Little Mix


and what's the theme for our top 7?

Girl bands vs Boy bands and they will be performing twice!

So 2 songs each!

[Strictly Jake]

Also Nicky either we need a double elimination or have 4 people in the final because I need this finished before the 10th April as I won't be able to play after that as I'm going away

[Nicky91]

alright, next week a double elimination

[Nicky91]

Also Nicky either we need a double elimination or have 4 people in the final because I need this finished before the 10th April as I won't be able to play after that as I'm going away

[Strictly Jake]

To prison

Yeah I've seen it

[Nicky91]

To prison

Yeah I've seen it

huh, you aren't a criminal, why are you going to prison, to visit someone?


and i've changed my mind, not next week a double elimination but with the top 6, and then we have the semi finals with our top 4, making a final 3

[Strictly Jake]

Haha I'm just joking I'm going away on holiday on a caravan holiday with my family and I probably won't get internet. Ok that's fine

[Nicky91]

Nicky's comment: i first must compliment Amy for choosing this song, this song proved that you guys can not only sing novelty songs, but also nice ballads, and your vocal performance was great :)

Nicky's comment: well Tyler was already a fan of you, and now i'm a bigger fan of you, this was a technically difficult song for you to sing, but you absolutely nailed it Bravo :clap1: :clap1:

Nicky's comment: Luke, you are unique and your guitar performance is Iconic, but i feel positive and negative about this performance, good song choice Kirk, but it was a little too safe for my taste

look I challenged Tyler to sing Disturbia, and make it his own which he did

but you Luke, just sang this song the same as the Original, but that's my personal taste
