my choices would be

Laura White

Mystical Forest

Lady Luck

Louisa Johnson

Leona Lewis

Ella Henderson

I would pick
LadyLuck
MysticalForest
Laura White
Emily Middlemas
Leah McFall
LittleMiss Molly

The results are in

First up to hear is Louisa.

So Louisa your performance was good but their was just something that didn't connect with me, I just don't feel you have your own style. In a few years you could be better but your not ready right now so I can't take you hough

Up next is leah

So I find your voice interesting and quirky but for me that's the negative for me, you have your own style but it will only work if your have certain songs and for this competition that's going to be tricky so it's for that reason I'm not taking you through but I wish you luck in the future

Up next is little miss molly

I love you girls but we need to make you stand out and show you to be a unique girl group but with me as a mentor I think we can work well together I'm taking you through to live shows

Up next is Mystical forest

Well I will get straight on with this I love you girls so your most definitely through well done

Up next is Ella

You made me cry, your so talented but I view you as a singer songwriter and that's what your great at and you have a great career ahead of you and you have the drive to succeed in your own but I'm sorry I can't take you through

Up next is Lady Luck

I'm not gonna lie girls you girls need a lot of work but I think you have what it takes so I will be putting you into my team

Up next is Emily Middle mass

Your not the strongest singer and I think you could benefit with a bit of time, I think it would be a risk putting you through but I love that you have your own thing ginger on and I really can't say no to you so I'm taking a risk and putting you through to live shows

Up next is Laura White

I love your voice however I worry you might not be versatile enough, but I would be crazy to send you home so your going through to live shows

So the final spot is between hayley and Leona

Hayley I love you your really cool but I do get confused about what kind of artist you want to be

Leona you have an awesome voice and yup know who you want to be as an artist but are you versatile

I have to think that this is my last series and I want to take risks and work with different musical styles that I haven't before

For that reason I'm taking through


Hayley Reinhart.

The wildcard spot I'm offering to


Ella Henderson

My top 6 is

Little miss molly
Mystical forest
Lady luck
Emily Middlemass
Laura white
Hayley Reinhart

But I really want ella to get through as my wildcard

Can I just say I reread through this and my phone seemed to have a mind of its own haha so many spelling errors and wrong words hahaha I won't change it though I can't be bothered :joker:

I'm really happy with my final6 they all stand out and they bring something different also Looking forward to the first lives

Yeah they seem good it looks like it will be a strong series

Song choices for week one I think the theme should be renamed express yourself

Little Miss Molly: I only wanna be with you by Dusty Springfield
Lady Luck: Wild by Jessie J
Mystical Forest: Dreams by The Cranberries
Emily Middlemass: I wish I was a punk rocker by Sandie Thom
Laura White: Never tear us apart by Paloma Faith
Haley Reinhart: oops! I did it again by Britney Spears(postmodern jazz version)

Rylan: so I'm now joined by my old mentor Jake and I'm going to find out why he made the choices that he did, so Jake firstly to the people you didn't put through, why?

Jake:
well lets start with Louisa, she had lots of talent and a good voice I just don't think she has found her own style yet, she doesn't have that distinguishing factor that separates her from other pop singers so I think if I put her through she might have got lost in the competition and became forgettable she needs time to work on her craft,

I didn't out Leona through because of what I have in mind of the kind of artist I want to find this series, she hasn't put a foot wrong so it's such a shame for her but I have worked with artists like her already and I want to try something new this year

The reason I didn't out Leah through is because of her quirky voice, the themes just would not work around it, I think she is brilliant but this is probably the wrong show for her

On to Ella I think she has what it takes to do well on her own with her own songs but I love her I do so I hope she gets the wildcard

Rylan: ok that's fair enough so why did you put the acts through that you did?

Jake: little Miss Molly are very old school and I love that I find that exciting to bring that sound back

Lady Luck are very fresh and current and have great potential

Mystical Forest are unique and different and refreshing

Emily has her own style and she puts her stamp on songs and I like that

Laura has an amazing voice and is a great soul singer but has the versatility to do upbeat stuff too

Haley intrigues me I can't quite work her out at the moment which I find exciting and risky and I like that

So yeah a strong team I think

I think because there are so many people in the competition for the first few weeks we get to pick two people each on our own team to make immune but we aren't allowed to pick the same people the week after. It adds more of a game element to it cos do you pick those who deserve it or do you pick the ones you think are in danger? I think it will be cool plus it makes easier for people to vote with having less people to pick from

yeah could be a good idea :) thank you Jake :hee:

Also the second week is Halloween week

My song choices are..

Emily middlemass: disturbia by rihanna
Haley Reinhart: creep by radio head
Laura white: I put a spell on you by Joss stone
Ella henderson: wuthering heights by Kate Bush
Little miss molly: black magic by little mix
Lady Luck: monster by Rihanna
Mystical forest: everybody wants to rule the world by lorde
