Hello and Welcome back to the fourth season of Star Showdown. Tonight we are carrying on the auditions and a new batch of auditions follow. Tonight 7 auditionees will face the coaches as they continue a new search for the next star to join Jessica, Haley and Pia in the hall of fame.

We start with The Auditions, where each act has to secure at least three YES votes from the panel to advance! Deciding their fates, please welcome the Season 4 panel!

Jack.. Rocky.. Akshar.. Rose.. *Claps*

Let us see what Dublin has to offer!

429: Pentonix (Chris2pei) Singing "Gold"


JACK: *Claps* I really like this as a first performance and it allows for you to build upon your performances throughout the series. I think if this is only your first performance, we have something special coming up.

ROCKY: The famous Pentatonix! I was expecting more of a boom and smash performance, but this was very lowkey. However, we cannot deny that your harmonies are so angelic and fun to experience. I just really hope you guys bring it on from now on.

AKSHAR: Hmm...to be honest, I do like you guys but this song choice just wasn't it for me. It just left me wanting more and feeling underwhelmed. I just want to be more impressed and I don't want to give you guys false hope.

ROSE: Interesting performance! This was pretty good, I enjoyed it! I think there's a lot of potential for you this season, keep it up

430: Bruno Mars (Tswiftlover13) Singing "Grenade"


JACK: I'm not a massive fan of Bruno but I have to say acoustic versions of your songs just hit so hard and this was no different. This was such a strong choice. It had the melodies and you even made it seem more emotional than the original song.

ROCKY: Bruno Bruno Bruno! Of course you’re here, my my my I thoroughly enjoyed this audition. Had the perfect amount of emotion and melodies that I wanted to experience from this. *claps happily*

AKSHAR:  Bruno! You're very hit or miss with me BUT this was a HIT! I absolutely loved how you sounded in this and thought it was absolutely beautiful. Your voice sounded so smooth and warm and I just enjoyed it thoroughly.

ROSE: You have a good voice, but I found this performance quite forgettable, but certainly not bad!

Rocky - YES
Akshar - YES

You are going boom boom, straight into The Reapings!

431: Joe Woolford (Tswiftlover13) Singing "Falling"


JACK: I really love this song and your voice seems very similar to Harry's. I loved that you did change the key to suit your voice and I did prefer this over the original. The bridge and the chorus of this was the highlight of the performance as I just saw you branch out and it was so good!!!

ROCKY: I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG! And I love your voiceeee tooooo it’s so unexpected and refreshing. Thankfully we don’t have acts with similar tones if not it would be hard to differentiate them. *smiles cheerfully*

AKSHAR: *STANDING OVATION* OH YOU BETTA SANG JOE!!! THIS IS TALENT! Your voice is so captivating and you got my attention immediately. You just have such a presence in your voice and it's so distinct and I am here for it. Such a gorgeous rendition of this song.

ROSE: After Sanja Vucic, I can never look at you the same...anyway, this was a BRILLIANT performance, very well done *Claps*

432: Noah Mac (Brandonh1) Singing "Way Down We Go"


JACK: I have to say I am one of your biggest fans and this song just got my nostalgia going because your voice is so unique and you have such a rasp it's just perfect for this song and I better be seeing you in the Final 20 as I know some songs you have coming up.

ROCKY: You have an interesting voice, I’m not entirely sure I liked it or not. You made a great effort on it but I’m just gonna under on if for a while.

AKSHAR: OH YES NOAH!!! SING SING SING! You have so much depth to your voice and the RASP?! I LIVEEEE! Your voice is so unique and raw and it makes you so authentic! Absolutely, loved this!

433: Victor Solomon (Brandonh1) Singing "Glory"


JACK: This is gonna be hard to say but I preferred another act who performed the exact same song. I think your version did show your vocal prowess however you have such a unique voice and I just can't see you not going through!

ROCKY: BOOMMM GOES THE DYNAMITE! THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING AND WAITING FOR. I’m literally so obsessed with this, I think I enjoyed this more than the other group that performed this. *STANDING OVATION* AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

AKSHAR:  Okay, Victor!!! Take me to church!!! This performance was so soulful and powerful, not to mention how much I LOVE this song! You really did the song justice and gave a wonderful performance. This was amazing!

434: O'G3NE (Tswiftlover13) Singing "Stupid Kind Of Lover"


JACK: I have to say I didn't like this song. I just felt that there wasn't anything that captured my attention and that's what I need to see so that I can be interested in the song. I think it was a nice performance but very safe.

ROCKY: Awwww this was such a cutesy and fun performance! Definitely excited to see what you ladies are gonna bring into this season. *CLAPS*

AKSHAR:  I think you guys do have something special tbh. Your voices are so sweet and you have this charisma about yourselves that I do adore. I'm excited to see more of your performances! Loving your energies!

ROCKY: Calummmm!!!! You already know that your voice is pure gold, please go throughhhh cause ofc you’re gonna make it through this audition on to the next round. I know you have the power and strength to bring on mind-breaking performances and I’m itching to see how you play this out. *stands and claps loudly*

AKSHAR: OH MR. CALUM SCOTT IS HERE!!! PERIODT!!! This was such a beautiful rendition of this song, I love how you made it your own and slowed it down a bit. I love the original song but I love covers of this song just as much as it's just such a great song! I felt your voice sounded great here and I really loved it.
