TGM - This song did definitely not suit your voice at all. I didn't really like it because your voice was very exposed during it and Lorde sounds so serene and on point when she sings it and you just kinda paled in comparison. I appreciate you are trying but this is not really up to it when compared to some of the other competitors this year, it's a very tight and tough competition, and you gotta just have that little bit more. You can hit the notes pretty ok, but you have to work on that tone probably. You definitely stepped it up a bit from last week, but you still have a way to go.
Pok3rf4ce - Part of me was hoping you’d sing a Coldplay song, I personally thought they would have been a good choice for you this week. I think that you performed well with the song you chose, although I can hear your voice struggling on some of the long notes, particularly at the end of the song (I am taking the fact you have been unwell into account in my rankings; I’ve had to submit songs on TI after bouts of laryngitis and chest infections so I applaud your determination). Technically, you were pretty much on pitch and in key so I commend you for that, but I do feel that you’re falling into the trap of choosing the wrong song each week.
Kkoster - I like your voice, and you sang on pitch, as well as on tempo, but I found the song very karaoke, and bland I think you could of changed it up a bit to make it yours, but it wasn't in any way bad. Solid job!
Dudetb - Well I love that you have the sass down in this song. The best part is that the sass doesn’t take away from your voice. I just wish that you would put all personal feelings about the song’s lyrics aside, because next week, if you do make it, we both know which song I’m giving you, even if you don’t like the meaning. Laughs Manically.
