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


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. 28-02-2016 04:07 PM

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 28-02-2016 05:46 PM

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 28-02-2016 05:55 PM

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 29-02-2016 12:27 AM

Amelia Lily
Alexandra Burke
Little Mix
Cher Lloyd

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 29-02-2016 07:50 AM

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 29-02-2016 08:33 AM

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 29-02-2016 08:58 AM

alright Kazanne's votes are:

Tyler Hudson

Amelia Lily

Janet Devlin

Sarah Cassidy



she wanted me to write down her votes

Strictly Jake 29-02-2016 09:04 AM

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 29-02-2016 09:31 AM

i'll give the votes from Daniel:

Tyler Hudson

Amelia Lily

Janet Devlin

Reggie N Bollie

Strictly Jake 29-02-2016 10:50 AM

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

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 29-02-2016 11:30 AM

I think it may be Jacks time to go

Nicky91 29-02-2016 11:40 AM

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
