Ooo! Interesting choices! When are the results of last week being posted?

Waiting on (at least) 1 more response, I was told was coming tonight

Could we maybe extend the deadline, I don't want to record my songs until I have had my critique and know if I'm through or not

If I was lucky enough to get through I just want to check it would be OK to sing a Justin Bieber song for theme 2 as he is Canadian? Thanks

No, Justin Bieber doesn't classify as an artist. If we were talking about non-US/UK piles of shit then it would qualify :)

^^^ shots fired

hahaha I used to have that view but love his latest music! Thanks for the clarification.

Can I perform a cover from a non Uk/US artist? I really want to sing First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Celine Dion (originally sung by Roberta Flack). Would this be ok?

Ok so I am delighted to be through for another week and really really want to get through to the final now. Unfortunately, I don't think these are my best recordings to date and I have had real difficulty finding the right songs this week even though the themes are broad. It is the hardest I have worked though and have tried recording over 10songs but decided on these two. I have gone with these as they are both really current (Which some of my other song choices haven't been) and songs I love listening to. I hope they are enough to get me through as there is one song I really really want to sing in this competition but it is by a US artist so it would be a dream to sing it in the final. Thanks for your time, good luck everyone!

Theme 1: Take Me Home by Jess Glynne. I really struggled to begin with singing the low notes in the verses but I have given it my best shot and please bare with it and I think hopefully the last minute or so is the best.

Theme 2: Love Yourself by Justin Bieber. After Tolis' comment I decided against singing this song for a while and trialled lots of others including Rihanna and Abba but after consideration I came back to this as although it may not show my best vocal range, I love the song and I hope you like it too.

Feeling very lucky to have gotten through another week.

I have chosen Your Game by UK Artist Will Young as my first song.

For my second song I have chosen Celine Dion's version of At Last.

I thought I'd have time to work on a final product today but some personal stuff has turned up. I will be able to post. My songs tomorrow though! No way am I going to give up.

Sorry to do it again but weekends aren't great for me because I'm so busy (have been at a hotel in London watching the x factor final all weekend, but I'll get my entries recorded & sent in the morning.

I understand that last week was an exception so if I have to endure a late penalty then I understand :(

and after 3 long weeks we are back in business!

yaaaay we're back!

Any idea when we will be seeing results? :)
