It's hard to take you completely seriously Kim, after last week, but that was a lot better than last week, and I think you can avoid the bottom two this week. Good luck, is all I can say!

[xDramatick]

FANTASTIC Kim! I think you'll remain in this competition for a long time, you're so fun. All I'd say, is you should cut down on the red bull, and I wanna see more country from you missus!

KIMBERLAAAAAY

You did it this week. It was a much better performance but I just hope the public get behind you and vote tbh. You odnt deserve to be bottom this week

[Z]

Next up, it's Hope!

Last week went well for Hope, they received some harsh comments from some of the other judges but I don't think they let it knock them. This week they're going to be performing as a group, so if they pull it off - nobody can touch them.

Hope. You all sang! A safe choice from your mentor, and it was a.. nice performance.

[Billy]

Girls, you know I love you, but that wasnt a good performance. I like the fact you done something contemporary, but it didn't really work for me. ok, but can be somuch better!

Now, the last of my acts, it's the sensational Brenda!

Brenda got things off to a fantastic start. She demonstrated she has star quality with a power ballad, however this week she's doing something quite different. The song I've chosen is equally powerful, but much more uptempo and I'm sure she'll have the audience on their feet dancing.

BRENDAAA

that was a really energetic performance. Vocals did go off a bit in the middle, but your going to be safe, and IMO a safe bet for the final

[xDramatick]

Brenda!! VERY odd choice, but I think you've managed to pull it off. Shaun obviously likes risks, but I'm unsure whether yours is going to keep you in the show. I hope so.

[Shaun]

That was a ferocious performance! Loved it!

(btw, if you think it's weird for Brenda - youtube her xfactor performances. She's done rock before, and is very entertaining )

[Billy]

Right guys, time to end things on a happy note, ladies and gents, its LEONA

I'm very worried this week for Leona. At the time when I chose my song I thoughtit was a good un, but now it really isntgood as I thought. Im still hoping that she can put her own spin on it, but Leona fans still have to vote!

[xDramatick]

Leona.. I think the song let you down. I was hoping you'd try and make it your own, but the arrangement just didn't suit you. I think you could be vulnerable tonight.

[Shaun]

Verrrrry bizarre choice there Leona. Didn't stand out for me at all.

[Billy]

Leona, it really wasnt a fab performance. You can do so much better like we seen last week, and I really think I let you down as a mentor. Lets just hope your back next week for a sensational performance.

[Shaun]
