[Nicky91]

yes Jakey we have loved being a part of this series, i do think with better song choices Tyler could've been here in the final


anyway my feedback

Crush Next Door;

Song1: I Love Perfect Strangers, JP Cooper makes the whole song sound so unique and amazing, i thought this was more like your own version of the song, but it sounded so One Direction vibe, take this as a compliment cause One Direction sold over millions of records, and i can see you guys easily do the same 10/10

Song2: such a iconic song from Phil Collins, Jakey good choice because it was a challenge and i think you guys deserve to be at least runner up, but you would be my pick to win this series 10/10

Duet: epic, iconic, incredible, amazing and yes i am already busy texting for you guys to vote for this iconic group 10/10

Mermaid;

Song1: you know i love clean bandit, but you girls had something i really didn't like but i loved, bit of that tropical vibe for this song, which is your trademark i think, you need to sell a performance and you girls did that for sure 10/10

Song2: this was a good performance first time around, now i thought the effects were even better in the performance, still not the songs i would've picked for you 9/10

Duet: this was good but not a proper standout duet performance i'm afraid 7/10

Nate Simpson;

Song1: i like this song, and Nate where you started off for me as lazy and not my cup of tea, i embraced your music more and more, and i loved this performance, it brought me back to church 10/10

Song2: YASSSSSSSSSSSSS i love jermaine stewart song a lot, it suits you like honey and milk are a divine match together 10/10

Duet: Nate & Andra, what a memorable performance this was, i liked this a lot 9/10

Nicole Simpson;

Song1: vocally this was phenomenal, and Adam you should be proud your first series having a act in the final 9/10

Song2: runnin runnin into the final on lightning speed, by the power of Hercules you are a strong powerhouse vocalist, wow better than Beyonce for me personally 10/10

Duet: I Love Kesha, performing with you Nicole well a divine match made in heaven, where she goes offkey sometimes, you pick that up so well with your awesome vocals wow you were better than Kesha in some places of the performance 10/10

[Owoaje1993]

Crush Next door:29/30
Mermaid:30/30
Nate:28/30
Nicole:27/30

I can honestly say that this is the hardest final and it’s so close I’ll be happy with either winner

[Strictly Jake]

Performance 1:

Mermaid: the reason I chose this song firstly because I love it and I love clean bandit also aware that nicky is a fan too, but I also played on the fact that when all your voices home together as the beautiful instruments they are it is like a Symphony it was beautiful seeing you with an orchestra up there it was a great performance to kick the final off 10/10

Nicole: well done on getting to the final I was rooting for you, that was gorgeous and made me cry a little 10/10

Crush next door: the reason I chose this song was because at the start of this show you were strangers but you have all worked so hard* and become the perfect Boyband it was brilliant also I know owoaje wanted you to sing this ages ago so I made sure you performed it for him 10/10

Nate: It was good but for me it wasn't as stand out as it should have been I'm glad you have made the final but I'm unsure of your chances tonight 8/10

Duets:

Memaid:

Wow that was so cool I love you Rita thanks for doing this I'm looking forward to you presenting supergroups. Thanks for performing with this supergroup girls you stood out a lot I loved it 10/10

Nicole:

Ooh this was unexpected it was dramatic and sounded brilliant 10/10

Crush next door:

This got me as excited as Nicole Scherzinger on a good day! I was out of my seat! I wanted to join in. I have to say at the start it was a bit messy but as soon as Jason stepped on the stage you lads stepped it up it was epic 10/10

Nate:

Aww wow that was perfect well done 10/10

Performance 3:

Memaid:

So glad you chose this girls it looked so amazing on the stage with all the effects and nicky is right you have a great tropical vibe oh I loved it so much 10/10

Nicole:

I have to be honest I didn't think was the right song choice it didn't blow me away I'm afraid but your other performances may see you through 8/10

Crush next door:

Boys I have to admit I'm surprised you chose this it's very risky and showed a different side of you the first time around I didn't expect you to choose it but I'm glad you did you stood out 10/10

Nate:

Oh no I think this was the wrong song for the final it wasn't an amazing night for you I'm afraid 7/10

What an amazing final so far

[AdamAdmiz]

Will the results be made of poll and our scores?

[Strictly Jake]

Probably more off the poll this time adam but I will refer to the scores if the poll result is close

I need your feedback as part 2 may be tonight

[AdamAdmiz]

I'm sorry, but can we postpone it till tomorrow morning. I'm busy right now. I can write my feedback in the morning.

[Strictly Jake]

I'm afraid I'm busy all weekend I said the poll was closed at 7 so whatever you vote and whatever feedback you give I'm afraid it won't change the result much I have to do it tonight

[AdamAdmiz]

OK, so I will try to write my feedback in next two hours. And can I still vote in poll? Please

[Strictly Jake]

Ok I'll wait for you mate as a thank you for all your commitment

[Strictly Jake]

If you want just give scores I don't need proper feedback if you haven't got time and yes poll still open

[AdamAdmiz]

Okay, I made it:
My comments:
Mermaid - It was very good, vocally almost perfect. 8/10
Nicole - Amazing, really emotional. Flawless vocal. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was phenomenal. 10/10
Nate - I think it was the weakest performance of today so far. 6/10
Mermaid - I love Rita, and this duet was really interesting. I liked it. 8/10
Nicole - You really wanted this duet and you both smashed it. Incredible. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was good but your first performance tonight was better. 9/10
Nate - Amazing song choice, but your voice, Nate, was sometimes pitchy but overall it was good. 7/10
Mermaid - I can see that you are really want to win it. It was very very catchy. Well done. 8/10
Nicole - I think you deserved to be in Final 2, I had goosebumps. 10/10
Crush Next Door - It was a bit boring in the beginning but later everything happenned. Tension, emotions, this melody and your voices. 9,5/10
Nate - I don't think it was your best performance to choose. Vocally it was good. 6/10

For me Final 2 should be Crush Next Door and Nicole

[AdamAdmiz]

Plus I think our scores should also be used as they were used entire live shows and votes in the poll are pretty close.
