Nicki it wasnt your turn to add a guest mentor it was mine. Your turn is next week

it wasn't really a guest mentor, as he hasn't done all songs, just the Christmas songs, and just don't add his scores okay :)

it was just for advice and feedback only but my apologies to you mate :hee:

when are your feedback and scores coming Jake and Owoaje :(

Sorry busy day today I'll do it in the morning mate sorry

okay Jake sorry to hear that :(, and can't wait for your feedback :)

No dont worry its busy in a good way im going on holiday tomorrow so im busy sorting everything out for that haha. So next week can we take a break because where im going I dont have wifi. Im currently writing my feedback so it will be up very soon

My feedback

First my team

Laura:

All i want for Christmas-
Nicky is wrong here. This has to be my favourite Christmas song and it actually always wins peoples favourite Christmas songs polls so it got me in the mood as well as every one else im sure. It was a great way to open the show and you sounded amazing. It was nice to see you have some fun too
10/10

Im every woman-
Some might say this is pretty old fashioned but it is a guilty pleasure of mine. Its such a belter of a song, a really fun edge to it but quite soulful at the same time and I see you making that kind of music. You looled like you were having such a good time 10/10

Emily:

Underneath the tree-
I hadnt heard this song until recently when you told me you wanted to sing this. I loved the pop sound. It was nice to see you enjoy yourself. Well done 10/10

Thousand miles-
I have to admit this is more a guilty pleasure of mine then yours as you were a baby when this came out which makes me feel old. But you still dud a decent job and I liked the fresher feel of it 9/10

Lydia

Last christmas-
I love the original by wham. But it was ariana herself that told me lydia would be good at this. I love how the song has been brought up to date and I was bopping along to that 10/10

Party in the usa-
You chose this. It surprised me. I believed the story and it could have been your song. It was on the cheesy side but its the week we can get away with doing that and you had fun 10/10

Miss Molly

Have yourself a merry little Christmas-

Who knew you had this vocal range girls. You must have put in a lot of work since you left the show. But im so glad your back. That was so special and I loved it 10/10

Home run-
Misha this is your song so thanks for letting us listen to it. You girls could release this right now as a single. I felt like I was watching a miss molly concert! It was so good 10/10

Nickys team

Sabrina:

The power of love-
I have to be honest I would have wanted something a bit more fun from you. This was a little bit depressing. Im glad your in the competition but I think you could have given a lot more 7/10

Break free-
Yeah it was brave to take that on with ariana sat right here. But I loved that much better than your first 9/10

Sandie:
2000 miles-

I get the feeling you werent too keen on that song choice. It didnt suit you very much. I wish you had done santa baby or rocking around the Christmas tree as both of them would have suited you. But well done foe taking on something different I suppose. I think your in danger this week though 7/10

Video games-
This was a genius song choice for you I really loved it well done 10/10

Owoajes team

Josh:
Someday at Christmas-
I havent heard this song before but I quite liked it. I would have preferred to hear a well known loved Christmas classic like silent night. But this was nice and warm and quite charming yeah I quite liked it 8/10

Hometown glory-
I really like this song and I liked your version. This might be your best to date 9/10

Colton:

Shake up Christmas-
Again I haven't heard this song before. Usually I quite like train but that song was horrendous. Its rare I dont enjoy one of your performances but it didnt like that really sorry 6/10

The best of you-
This song holds a special place in my heart. It was playing in the background when I proposed to my wife. So it was nice to hear it. I wouldn't have said its a guilty pleasure though there isnt anything guilty about it. Its a great song from a great band and you smashed it 10/10

okay thank you for your feedback Jake, and let me explain i wanted a ballad from Sabrina for Christmas, because her fun performance last week wasn't really receiving great feedback from Owoaje, and Break Free i thought would be a good choice coming straight from the sing off, showing off her inner fighter diva


Sandie, i wanted that song 2000 miles for her, to showcase her voice and it's one of her favourite Christmas songs, and i think that's also important, songs who have a special message, and Video Games was my idea :)

Ariana grande's feedback

Jakes team

Laura

All I want for Christmas:
I love this song so much. Its my all time favourite Christmas song. Im a huge mariah fan aswell. I have covered this song myself and I can say its not an easy song to sing and babe you gave it your all well done 10/10

Im every woman:
We must have the same music tastes as I also love whitney. That song is also such a hard song to sing but you did it with such ease. I did think it was slightly old fashioned compared to everyone elses choices and I would like to see something a little more fresh and unique but I still liked it 8/10

Emily

Underneath the tree:
This is a great song its got such a nice pop feel to it and I loved your version. In fact I will be downloading that when I get home 9/10

Thousand miles:
This is such a great guilty pleasure. You made it sound so cool and it suited you very much I think your a dark horse I think you may make the final your stepping it up just at the right moment 10/10

Lydia

Last christmas:
I told jake about my version of this song because I thought it would suit you and it really did. You could have a hit with it 10/10

Party in the usa:
Miley is a good friend of mine and I think she would be a fan of you. That was cheesy but I loved it. If you make the final which im certain you will I would love to duet with you 10/10

Miss Molly

Have yourself a merry little Christmas:
Wow that was beautiful. Standing ovation from me 10/10

Home run:
Its good to see you girls are back. That had so much attitude and sass and I think you girls are the most versatile act and I see a great future ahead for you 9/10

Nickys team

Sabrina

The power of love:
I agree with jake I wish it was more of a fun song but I thought it was good. Your vocals are amazing 8/10

Break free:
Thanks for singing my song!! You did a pretty decent job of it aswell it had me dancing 8/10

Sandie

2000 miles:
I just didnt get this song choice. Your voice is amazing there were so many songs you could have sang and unfortunately that didnt work 5/10

Video games:
That made up for your last song. It was so so good well done 9/10

Owoajes team

Josh :
Someday at Christmas:
I am a big Stevie Wonder fan and its the kind of artist I could see you being like. This was lovely 9/10

Hometown glory:
Putting your own stamp on an adele track isnt easy but that was incredible 9/10

Colton

Shake up Christmas:

I dont know usually he has given his feedback by now:shrug:

i hope he does give his feedback though :(

Hi guys I had bad connection with my wifi tomorrow or during the week I'll be mr Scrooge and say my comments

If I can say any negative about the comments it will be I don't like the fact that th other judges would prefer a well known song because if I keep on choosing well known songs then I'm being too cliche and a bit obvious also boring I wanna do songs that people have heard and haven't heard I also like songs which isn't well known I have a few unknown well songs next series

Laura
Song1:All I wanted for Christmas was a amazing performance did I get it of course I did 10/10

Colton:I would admit mate I was struggling with to choose a song and I didn't want to be too obvious and make it corny it wasn't perfect but you did ok 8/10

Sandie:I'm sorry but I wish I was 2000 miles away from that performance I hated it after that I could see you being 2000 miles away from the competition 1.5/10
