[AdamAdmiz]

Sorry for delay with my song choices but I have a little problem with them
:(

[Strictly Jake]

I have also picked my winners songs

Crush next door winners song is forever by Chris brown
Mermaid winners song is strong by Sonna Rele

[Strictly Jake]

Sorry for delay with my song choices but I have a little problem with them
:(

Can I choose them for you? :hee::hee:

[AdamAdmiz]

Can I choose them for you? :hee::hee:

Yes, you can choose songs for 80s because I think I have for 90s :blush:
But if you want you can give me propositions for 90s

[Strictly Jake]

Well I know a beautiful cover of true colours which I think would be great for Alisah

And a great cover for Nicole which is don't dream it's over by crowded house

They are the 80s choices

For the 90s I was thinking

Stay by Shakespeares sister for Nicole

And an acoustic version of Cher believe for Alisah

[AdamAdmiz]

Well I know a beautiful cover of true colours which I think would be great for Alisah

And a great cover for Nicole which is don't dream it's over by crowded house

They are the 80s choices

For the 90s I was thinking

Stay by Shakespeares sister for Nicole

And an acoustic version of Cher believe for Alisah

I was thinking about It Must Have Been Love for Nicole
And Shackles (Praise You) for Alisah

[Strictly Jake]

Oh they are good songs!!!

So are you going to go with the 80s song I picked?

[AdamAdmiz]

Oh they are good songs!!!

So are you going to go with the 80s song I picked?

Yes, 80s song you picked and give me a little time to decide on 90s. :laugh:
And 90s I was thinking so in the end these are my song choices:

80s
Alisah - True Colors (cover you said about)
Nicole - Don't Dream It's Over
90s
Alisah - Shackles (Praise You)
Nicole - It Must Have Been Love

[Strictly Jake]

Whoever wins the top prize will get to perform a duet with one of their favourite artists next week they don't have to wait until the final to do it...and this performance can be scored so it could get them to the top of the leaderboard too... exciting stuff!

It must have been love: I found this a tad bit cheesy it's a good song I just don't see you having it on your album 7/10

Alisah
True colours: it's a brilliant song and your a beautiful singer it was a match made in heaven 10/10

Shackles: yes you go girl. It was uptempo wow. Only trouble is at some points you put just a bit too much passion into it to the point it wasn't believable but I did enjoy it 8/10

Tyler vs Ryan

[Nicky91]

https://youtu.be/ZOdltebCOX8

[Strictly Jake]

And a quick chat with our guest mentor this week we welcome Justin bieber

So Justin are you shocked who is in the sing off?

I’m not shocked at Tyler he was given harsh feedback and scores and usually every week he really delivers I think he was given the wrong songs this week I would like to see him go through and Nicky to work harder on his song choices

I’m shocked at alisah though she had her best week I don’t know what’s happened there it’s a shame

Ok thanks Justin is there anyone you would duet with?

Crush next door are killing it so them for definite they have bags of potential

And finally Justin who do you want to win?

I don’t want to say I like all of them it was great to work with them this week

[Strictly Jake]

This weekend will be rock week

It will be rock legends vs rock divas

Tyler’s sing off song

[Strictly Jake]

I have to say I wasn’t impressed by either sing off performance here I know you all can do better

I’m going to vote for the act who has been more consistent throughout the series and has a real shot at this

I’m saving Alisah

[Nicky91]

how can you save a diva like Alisah :rolleyes:


I am saving Tyler, and i refuse to accept him going home

[Owoaje1993]

I don’t like either however only because this act isn’t a cheesefest but is very bland and forgettable I’m saving Alisah

[Nicky91]

WTF, Bring Back Tyler

#Tylerwuzrobbed

[Owoaje1993]

Nicky atleast he got far in the competition

[Nicky91]

yes that's true Owoaje but i chose the wrong songs for him which i thought were the better songs from 80's and 90's ;)

[Strictly Jake]

Nicole won last week so will get to duet with someone of her choice this won’t be scored though

Also although I previously said you could score her and vote for her from now on I have immediately put everyone else at a disadvantage which isn’t fair and Knd of makes it an obvious win so from now on everyone can score and vote for their own acts the prizes are over :cheer2:

[AdamAdmiz]

Later tonight I will post my feedback.
Is there a poll this week?

[Strictly Jake]

I forgot about the poll I’ll do it later

[Strictly Jake]

I have some big important information

Due to scheduling issues with the massively popular TV show supergroups Series 2 due to hit our screens next week The final of x factor series has been brought forward a week!

This means that this week's show was the semi final and 2 acts will be leaving!

The final will work like this 4 acts will make the final

They will all perform a new song, a duet and their favourite song of the series. Then the vote will be open. The 2 acts that receive the most votes then go on to sing thir mentors favourite song of the series, a Christmas song and their winners single

The winner will be decided by the leaderboard and the public vote

So it's really important that all feedback and votes are given now as the final is this weekend!

So whichever 2 acts bottom of the leaderboard and poll by tomorrow morning will leave the show without a sing off...

[Strictly Jake]

If my acts make it through this is their song list for the final

[AdamAdmiz]

Mermaid - Wow, it was really good performance but lacked some fire. 8/10

Crush Next Door - Congratulations. I'm sure you will be in the final. 10/10

Alisah - It was outstanding. You should be in the final. 10/10

Ryan - I was expecting this to be better. Sorry. 5/10

Nate - It was better than your first performance tonight. But you had better weeks. 7/10

Mermaid - It was good, but it wasn't your best week. Amelia, your voice is amazing. 8/10

Crush Next Door - A lot of emotions. Incredible. 10/10

Nicole - It's hard song to sing, but I think you did phenomenally. 10/10

Alisah - You smashed it. Flawless as always. 10/10

Plus what about Nicole's duet?

[Strictly Jake]

Nicole's duet was good adam but I said she wouldn't be getting scored for it

I had to stop the prize twist with it being so close to the final

[AdamAdmiz]

Ok, I know and understand but I thought you forgot about it as it wasn't mentioned

[Strictly Jake]

Sorry I thought when you uploaded it that was her performing it on last week's results show I had forgotten about it after that anyway I hope Nicole makes the final

[AdamAdmiz]

Ok, I'm not mad :blush:
And thanks, I also hope Nicole makes final :hee:

[Strictly Jake]

[AdamAdmiz]

Nicole has 64 points from the judges (9+18+17+20)

[Strictly Jake]

Alisah and Ryan received the lowest score and votes and are out of the competition

The finalists are

[Nicky91]

yes Jakey we have loved being a part of this series, i do think with better song choices Tyler could've been here in the final :(


anyway my feedback

Crush Next Door;

Song1: I Love Perfect Strangers, JP Cooper makes the whole song sound so unique and amazing, i thought this was more like your own version of the song, but it sounded so One Direction vibe, take this as a compliment cause One Direction sold over millions of records, and i can see you guys easily do the same 10/10

Song2: such a iconic song from Phil Collins, Jakey good choice because it was a challenge and i think you guys deserve to be at least runner up, but you would be my pick to win this series 10/10

Duet: epic, iconic, incredible, amazing and yes i am already busy texting for you guys to vote for this iconic group 10/10

Mermaid;

Song1: you know i love clean bandit, but you girls had something i really didn't like but i loved, bit of that tropical vibe for this song, which is your trademark i think, you need to sell a performance and you girls did that for sure 10/10

Song2: this was a good performance first time around, now i thought the effects were even better in the performance, still not the songs i would've picked for you 9/10

Duet: this was good but not a proper standout duet performance i'm afraid 7/10

Nate Simpson;

Song1: i like this song, and Nate where you started off for me as lazy and not my cup of tea, i embraced your music more and more, and i loved this performance, it brought me back to church :clap1: 10/10

Song2: YASSSSSSSSSSSSS :dance: :dance: i love jermaine stewart song a lot, it suits you like honey and milk are a divine match together 10/10

Duet: Nate & Andra, what a memorable performance this was, i liked this a lot 9/10

Nicole Simpson;

Song1: vocally this was phenomenal, and Adam you should be proud your first series having a act in the final :clap2: 9/10

Song2: runnin runnin into the final on lightning speed, by the power of Hercules you are a strong powerhouse vocalist, wow better than Beyonce for me personally 10/10

Duet: I Love Kesha, performing with you Nicole well a divine match made in heaven, where she goes offkey sometimes, you pick that up so well with your awesome vocals wow you were better than Kesha in some places of the performance 10/10 :clap2:

[Owoaje1993]

Crush Next door:29/30
Mermaid:30/30
Nate:28/30
Nicole:27/30

I can honestly say that this is the hardest final and it’s so close I’ll be happy with either winner

[Strictly Jake]

Performance 1:

Mermaid: the reason I chose this song firstly because I love it and I love clean bandit also aware that nicky is a fan too, but I also played on the fact that when all your voices home together as the beautiful instruments they are it is like a Symphony it was beautiful seeing you with an orchestra up there it was a great performance to kick the final off 10/10

Nicole: well done on getting to the final I was rooting for you, that was gorgeous and made me cry a little 10/10

Crush next door: the reason I chose this song was because at the start of this show you were strangers but you have all worked so hard* and become the perfect Boyband it was brilliant also I know owoaje wanted you to sing this ages ago so I made sure you performed it for him 10/10

Nate: It was good but for me it wasn't as stand out as it should have been I'm glad you have made the final but I'm unsure of your chances tonight 8/10

Duets:

Memaid:

Wow that was so cool I love you Rita thanks for doing this I'm looking forward to you presenting supergroups. Thanks for performing with this supergroup girls you stood out a lot I loved it 10/10

Nicole:

Ooh this was unexpected it was dramatic and sounded brilliant 10/10

Crush next door:

This got me as excited as Nicole Scherzinger on a good day! I was out of my seat! I wanted to join in. I have to say at the start it was a bit messy but as soon as Jason stepped on the stage you lads stepped it up it was epic 10/10

Nate:

Aww wow that was perfect well done 10/10

Performance 3:

Memaid:

So glad you chose this girls it looked so amazing on the stage with all the effects and nicky is right you have a great tropical vibe oh I loved it so much 10/10

Nicole:

I have to be honest I didn't think was the right song choice it didn't blow me away I'm afraid but your other performances may see you through 8/10

Crush next door:

Boys I have to admit I'm surprised you chose this it's very risky and showed a different side of you the first time around I didn't expect you to choose it but I'm glad you did you stood out 10/10

Nate:

Oh no I think this was the wrong song for the final it wasn't an amazing night for you I'm afraid 7/10

What an amazing final so far

[AdamAdmiz]

Will the results be made of poll and our scores?

[Strictly Jake]

Probably more off the poll this time adam but I will refer to the scores if the poll result is close

I need your feedback as part 2 may be tonight

[AdamAdmiz]

I'm sorry, but can we postpone it till tomorrow morning. I'm busy right now. I can write my feedback in the morning.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm afraid I'm busy all weekend I said the poll was closed at 7 so whatever you vote and whatever feedback you give I'm afraid it won't change the result much I have to do it tonight

[AdamAdmiz]

OK, so I will try to write my feedback in next two hours. And can I still vote in poll? Please

[Strictly Jake]

Ok I'll wait for you mate as a thank you for all your commitment

[Strictly Jake]

If you want just give scores I don't need proper feedback if you haven't got time and yes poll still open

[AdamAdmiz]

Okay, I made it:
My comments:
Mermaid - It was very good, vocally almost perfect. 8/10
Nicole - Amazing, really emotional. Flawless vocal. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was phenomenal. 10/10
Nate - I think it was the weakest performance of today so far. 6/10
Mermaid - I love Rita, and this duet was really interesting. I liked it. 8/10
Nicole - You really wanted this duet and you both smashed it. Incredible. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was good but your first performance tonight was better. 9/10
Nate - Amazing song choice, but your voice, Nate, was sometimes pitchy but overall it was good. 7/10
Mermaid - I can see that you are really want to win it. It was very very catchy. Well done. 8/10
Nicole - I think you deserved to be in Final 2, I had goosebumps. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was a bit boring in the beginning but later everything happenned. Tension, emotions, this melody and your voices. 9,5/10
Nate - I don't think it was your best performance to choose. Vocally it was good. 6/10

For me Final 2 should be Crush Next Door and Nicole

[AdamAdmiz]

Plus I think our scores should also be used as they were used entire live shows and votes in the poll are pretty close. :shrug:

[Strictly Jake]

Crush next door:

Last Christmas

Great song choice it's one of my favourite Christmas songs and was a fab tribute to the legendary George Michael 10/10

Secret love song:

Aww wow boys that was emotional I remember you performing this way back in week two where you weren't lead contenders at that stage but this seemed to change people's views it showed off you could all song and may have something special and sure enough here you are in the final 2. Boys I have to be honest I wasn't sure if I could mentor a Boyband but it's been a pleasure your so brilliant 10/10

Forever:

This was such a different version of a well known song I think the lyrics match your journey so well and it could be a number one hit I so hope you win this I can't wait to buy your album 10/10

Nicole

Santa's coming:

I'm sorry but I hate this song I would have loved you to take on a true Christmas favourite with your stunning voice this just didn't work 6/10

I'd rather go blind:

Now that is a performance! That was the best you have ever sounded 10/10

Louder:

This was very Jessie J esque I quite liked it but I can't see it being a hit I may just be biased though 8/10

[AdamAdmiz]

I would like to tell why we choose this songs for this part:
Santa's Coming To Town - we didn't want to make her sing a song which is overproduced on the shows like this. We took something new. We also didn't we cheesy songs.
I'd Rather Go Blind - I think Nicole were amazing with this song and she slayed it.
Louder - Nicole feels really close to this song. It's her ORIGINAL. This song is about her and her life.

[AdamAdmiz]

My comments:

Crush Next Door - I think this song is overdid on the shows like these and it didn't do any impression on me. 6,5/10

Nicole - The song is catchy and perfect for Christmas, you had fun singing it. And you sang it brilliantly. 10/10

Crush Next Door - I love this song. Your voices, emotions, I have one word - WOW. 10/10

Nicole - It was spectacular. I'm happy I chose this song because it fits you perfectly. Flawless vocal. 10/10

Crush Next Door - It was very good vocally, but overall it was boring and I think it wouldn't be good winner's single knowing what you are capable of. 7/10

Nicole - I think it was brave move from you to sing an original for the first time in the final. I think you should be proud of yourself. At the beginning of this show you were a shy girl but now you sang your original song and you are fighting with this song to win. The song itself is amazing and have incredibly beautiful lyrics which is really close to you. I know how big progress you made and how week after week you were becoming more and more confident about yourself. And winning would perfect end of your story to believe in yourself. It was pleasure to work with you. And you are the winner in my eyes. 10/10

[Owoaje1993]

I feel this is fixed Nicole only got one 1 Nathan got 2 and mermaid got 3 so how could mermaid be out

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah I know owoaje I thought mermaid were going to win and Nicole would be out but throughout the series I have combined judges scores with public vote scores and Nicole came out on 2 points more than mermaid because of Adams scores whereas Nate received the lowest amount of scores it’s annoying but I did it fairly

[Strictly Jake]

It's time for the result!

I can now reveal that the winner of the x factor is...


CRUSH NEXT DOOR

Congratulations boys!

[AdamAdmiz]

Congratulations Jake and Crush Next Door. :laugh:

PS. Why didn't you wait for Nick and Owoaje?

[Nicky91]

yeah :oh:

btw i would've voted for Crush Next Door

[Strictly Jake]

To be honest I did give them 2 days and I do think they would have voted for Cnd anyway so I needed to end this game today as we have a brand new one to play next weekend

Can I just say although this series has been a rollercoaster journey with the possibility of it been axed I think this has been my favourite series to work on

You three fellow mentors have been brilliant I know you all lead busy lives but thanks for staying commited

Nicky I'm sorry you lost all your acts before the semi final but you have been a very good mentor with your feedback on all the acts thanks for creating this game and I hope I did you proud with the way I took over hosting duties

Owoaje I must admit you had the worst category none of us ever want the boys but you got Nate and Ryan far with great song choices and I think your really good at this

Adam a massive congrats for getting an act in the top two on your first series I hope you play along with future games you have been great

I must say also it was the closest and most unpredictable final we have ever had if I'm honest I had Mermaid down as the winners so it was a shock

But yeah thanks everyone
