Let’s start the show and First up singing Let Her Go is LUKE FRIEND!
Here are the Judge’s Comments:
Craig: You lack the range and the vocal strength to carry this song as I heard your voice straining when hitting those notes as it wasn’t that good.
Nicole: This was a nice way to bring that specific charm you have and I do enjoy hearing your voice as it has that distinct sound but I like to see you use more power.
Motsi: I really love most of it with the way you sang sounding so magical making it just right with your vocals while the ending seemed like you were over doing it a bit but it’s still good.
Simon: Luke you got this voice that can help you stand out when used wisely and here it was used well in some parts while others it sounded less desirable so get more control in order to succeed.
Craig: This was a lacklustre performance and it just feels like you were a one trick pony producing only high notes while the rest of it is mediocre at best.
Nicole: Yes, I simply adore those high notes you produced as that gave you the power to proceed and you managed to keep up with your singing especially in your dancing which is quality.
Motsi: The one thing about you which I will keep coming back to is your wicked vocals which are a scene stealer and you got good dance energy and I like to see more power in the chorus.
Simon: You’re a fantastic singer but this is what I consider a weak performance as I know you got the vocal chops producing those high notes but I want to see that energy throughout.
Next up singing You Can’t Hurry Love is CHÉ CHESTERMAN!
Here are the Judge’s Comments:
Craig: I would like to see you give more longer notes and also more power towards the end to elevate it more since I do enjoy listening to your range.
Nicole: Oh, my Ché you really made this song your own tonight giving me those gorgeous range and it was very moving to watch it all unfold in front of my very eyes.
Motsi: I thought you had plateau in the first show but this performance shows you got so much potential left with how much you sang through your heart tonight.
Simon: This is what I like to see with you taking advantage of your talent of changing range so easily and there could be more power but I thought you were wonderful.
Craig: You’ve finally come alive in your singing grabbing my attention straight away and producing those note ranges which were great but you could use a bit more power towards the end.
Nicole: Dalton where have you been hiding this amount of power because you gave me goosebumps with how much soul and vocal power and Whitney would be proud to hear this.
Motsi: Now this is what pure talent looks like with how you made it your own style and it sounds so amazing hearing your high range and your going all the way if you keep singing like that.
Simon: I was blown away by this which has so much vocal control with your range and producing the right amount of power on each note to create that everlasting impact.
