04 Amelia Lily
06 Little Mix
07 Reggie and Bollie
09 Alexandra Burke

[Calderyon]

I was asked to vote for them, so...

Tyler Hudson and Sarah Cassidy

I´ll vote for Little Mix and Reggie `N´ Bollie too, since they are the only ones
that i have seen perform.

[kirklancaster]

Here's my feedback first:

01 Cher Lloyd

I felt this song choice was the wrong one even before I heard the performance, and I am afraid I felt no differently after I heard it. I do think that out of all the performers Cher definitely is the more limited in range and style.

02 Luke Friend

I recall Luke singing the Ben E. King & The Drifters classic 'Stand By Me' in 2013 on the X-Factor and though he did struggle a little with that classic he had his moments, but the tempo of this Edwin Starr soul classic suited Luke's vocal ability more and I think he smashed this.

03 Tyler Hudson

Pleasantly surprised by Tyler's performance and vote this a great effort.

04 Amelia Lily

What can I say – Amelia really delivers no matter what song she sings.

05 Sarah Cassidy

A great performance. I enjoyed this.

06 Little Mix

Great song choice, and the girls are really polished now in every performance they deliver.

07 Reggie N Bollie

It's unfair to expect more from these fun guys than they are able to deliver, so no surprises, but still an upbeat, feel-good performance of a classic.

08 Janet Devlin

I did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would, but perhaps that's because I always expect more from Janet – as though she is still not giving it everything.

09 Alexandra Burke

Another highly professional performance and 100% soul and emotion from a real Star.

And my VOTE:

1) Amelia Lily
2) Luke Friend
3)Little Mix
4) Alexandra Burke.

[Strictly Jake]

Firstly well done to all the acts you were all exceptional again...

Firstly the girls

Alexandra

This was bound to be your week your so soulful. As Nicky says your a diva and I can see the potential in you. I want you to reach the final you really deserve it

Amelia

This week I wanted to show a different side to you, a more soulful side, and you my dear rose to the challenge, that was honestly exceptional

Cher

I fear I may have given you the wrong song, but I really liked your version of it, I so badly want you to avoid the sing off this time, I'm not sure why your not receiving votes because I believe your a star

Janet

I loved that I really did. You really suit this kind of music. To be honest Janet you have shown your versatility the past number of weeks and Nicky says you deserve to be in the top 5 but I can see you being in that top 2

The last remaining boy

Luke

Kirk has given you a brilliant song and another Edwin Starr song is called war, well you definitely just made this a battle! I think I could see you reaching that final

The groups

Little mix
Ok girls I enjoyed it I always enjoy watching you but I want to see the sassy side of you I think it was slightly on the dull side but you will be safe

Reggie n Bollie
Really good guys, I hope Nicky saw what he wanted to see, it was a more soulful performance and you showed your vocals off. I think that could be one of your best performances

The overs

Tyler
Thankyou Tyler! You finally did it! You impressed me! Thankyou for taking on my advice and it really paid off. Well done Tyler

Sarah
I think it was a good song choice for you and it was enjoyable but will it be enough for people to vote for you, we shall see

As for all the duets etc you all did such a good job and your all emerging as stars

Cher Lloyd and Sarah Cassidy

thank you for your votes Jake


yeah Tyler got your vote

[Nicky91]

let me explain, Jake


i see a lot of potential in Tyler, as a true dark horse, i enjoy coaching the overs


Sharon was real fun to work with, i still feel she was a too early elimination

[Amy Jade]

I'll judge in a minute

[Amy Jade]

Cher Lloyd
I agree with the other judges this wasn't the song for you, I think you needed something special this week to rebound after being in the sing off, I feel this is actually your weakest week and you are in real danger.

Luke Friend
Fabulous song choice from Kirk, I think you have a very unique tone to your voice that fits wonderfully with this song. Brilliant job Kirk and Luke.

Little Mix
I felt it was time to give the girls a bit of a ballad type song but wanted to keep it as a happy tone, I struggled this week picking songs for you as there wasn't much to choose from but I don't regret picking this song for you I think you did outstandingly!

Tyler Hudson
Tyler...that was amazing! I will admit at first I thought you wouldn't be my cup of tea but week after week you wow me!

Amelia Lily
I absolutely hate this song, I find it insanely dull and you singing it didn't change my opinion at all...sorry.

Janet Devlin
Janet I was worried to see you have a song change, I think it's risky to have people look forward to your 1st choice only to go another way...However...This was fantastic, your voice with this song gave me chills! Nailed it.

Reggie & Bollie
I am so glad people have voted for you this week! I think picking fun songs is the way forward to get the voters dancing. Well done R&B

Sarah Cassidy
Yesssss! This was bloody brilliant Sarah!

Alexandra Burke
Perfect song choice and powerful vocals, this is faultless Alexandra!

thank you for your feedback, Amy and nice to know this about Tyler

i'm really relieved that taking a risk would work out this good



and nice to hear your positive feedback on Janet

[Strictly Jake]

Your welcome Kirk, only you voted for Luke so I think you might have to change that as we can't vote for our own acts. Thanks Amy Jade for the feedback your so brilliantly honest, better than Simon cowell imo haha! I'm sorry Cher and Amelia didn't impress you but Alex and Janet did so that's 50/50. I think Cher is in the sing off unfortunately but against who I have no idea now

well and Amy is a fan of Tyler, who would've thought that

[Nicky91]

my ranking after Motown week:

1. Amelia Lily

2. Janet Devlin

3. Tyler Hudson

4. Sarah Cassidy

5. Reggie N Bollie

6. Luke Friend

7. Little Mix

8. Alexandra Burke

9. Cher Lloyd



with all respect to Alexandra and Little Mix, who were really good as well

[Nicky91]

well the sing off is really too close to say who will be in the sing off


i'm gonna chat with some of the Top 9;


Nicky: well i'm with Tyler, and Tyler what did you think of your song and duet with Amelia


Tyler: Amelia is really amazing, i would buy her album anytime, flawless performer, and i really hope to compete against her in the final


Nicky: wow Tyler good to hear your ambition in this competition, and we head to Cher Lloyd, are you nervous for the results


Cher: well last week i was in the sing off, i'm expecting to be there again and then we'll see if i stay


Nicky: okay, Cher good luck and we head to Amelia, you nailed a soul song

Amelia: i really want to thank Jake for this song, it's the favourite song from my mom and dad, so thank you, and hopefully next week another great song

but Tyler thank you for the compliment, and i enjoyed singing with you

[Nicky91]

well tomorrow, The Top 9 will be doing a group performance to the song Read All About it with well-known singer Emeli Sande

[Strictly Jake]

As it stands either Tyler or Sarah will join Cher in the sing off, as Kirk is yet to change his vote from Luke I think it should be him who decides who joins her

Good news for whoever leaves though, all the top 9 have made the live tour! Congratulations!!!

, for the live tour news


well i think Cher will be going home, as Amy is a fan of both Tyler and Sarah

and Kirk also liked Tyler, but also liked Sarah

[Strictly Jake]

Also Nicky you shouldn't really decide who people should vote for and tell them to vote for them, you told Reece to vote for all four of them, it's a bit unfair on the other acts, I know we can all do the same but I'm trying to play this game fair
