[Strictly Jake]

So this is my final group I'm taking through to judges houses. A 6 piece girl group called mermaid. To help me find the right girls for the group I have asked Nicole Scherzinger to help me who has experience of being in a girl group herself

First up is Ayden with Sorry https://youtu.be/xTvBzm12NJE

Jake: so Ayden you have a decent voice and look great. But you need to work on your confidence in this group your going to have to stand out

Nicole: I think her voice would work well in a group and I think she deserves a chance

Jake: ok take seat 1

Next is Sofia Karlberg with too good at goodbyes

Nicole: I love this song it makes me cry it's beautiful and Sofia has a sweet voice

Jake: Yeah it's my favourite song at the moment and Sofia I liked your version. I know you have been doing this for years now Sofia I have followed you on YouTube I know you have what it takes but will you work better solo or in a group. I have to give you seat 2

Next up is Amelia Lily with bring me joy https://youtu.be/zvpeBPxyZAY

Nicole: yasss you go girl

Jake: amelia I love you your in the group get your butt on seat 3

Next up is Becky Hill with take me to church

Jake: I won't lie becky there were a very tuning issues and it probably wasn't the right song but I love your voice and think it would suit the group I have seen your past work and I'm a fan so take seat 4 for me

Next up is Taryn Southern with Girls just wants have fun https://youtu.be/Cuvvo1_8DzE

Jake: I love your personality when you sing your very fun and likeable I need that for the group

Nicole: I don't know whether the vocals are strong enough I don't think she is ready yet

Jake: I want to give you a chance so take seat 5

Nicole: only one more spot and 7 girls to go here is the harsh bit

Next up is Andie Case with Havana https://youtu.be/TgTSUt8MvIQ

Jake: I'm not sure on this Nicole what did you think

Nicole: I think you have potential but I think you wouldn't stand out in the group you would be better as a soloist I don't think it's going to work

Jake: Yeah sorry Andie but it's going to have to be a no for this group

Next up is Louisa Johnson with Let it go https://youtu.be/GO5JvnZXJzo

Jake: I don't have to think about this one Louisa you smashed it take seat 6

Next up is Lauren Murray with One last time https://youtu.be/s5gyn6kmimE

Jake: it was brilliant it was I'm not sure if it's good enough to swap

Nicole: it definitely was and you have weaker vocalists on some of those seats

Jake: right ok I will give you a seat Taryn I'm sorry but I'm swapping you with Lauren

Next up is Lauren Platt with King https://youtu.be/sCD04VKeJ0c

Jake: you have a lovely voice I want to give you a seat but not sure who I could lose

Nicole: she stands out a lot to me I think you need her in the group

Jake: ok I will swap you with Ayden sorry Ayden you just don't stand out enough to be in the group

Next up is Sabrina Carpenter with not the only one https://youtu.be/OlXEAVgwJxM

Jake: you have a lovely voice but I got bored during that and I can't lose any of those 6 so no seat sorry

Next up is Ali Brustofski with toothbrush https://youtu.be/I-89jYz2FfA

Jake: I loved it, I'm going to swap you with Lauren Platt sorry Lauren for that

Next up is Lauren Black with Rise https://youtu.be/60OCHUrXUjA

Jake: Yeah it was good but it's not right for this group so no seat sorry
