CARRIE
Good start! While I’m not a fan of the video quality, I feel like you did a great job in your performance. I wish it would have been a bit more energetic, but there’s not denying your talent.

7/10

CELINE
Bad quality could have picked a better one sorry.

7/10

ARIANA
Sound quality wasn’t great, the audience singing along was distracting and the tempo was too slow in my opinion.

4/10

IGGY

10/10

ARIANA
A very emotional performance, I am really impressed by the talent you have shown. Well done!

9/10

IGGY
It was a nice lower range song, with the emotional aspect as well. The beginning was slow, and then near the middle, the tempo really picked up and came into a more Demi Lovato performance, and it was great.

9/10

CARRIE
Beautiful vocals and simple performance. Very well done!

ARIANA
Good use of emotion but I found the performance slightly boring, especially following the previous performance

6/10

IGGY
You have a very high voice, which adds a really interesting aspect to this song. I liked the message of the song, but it just didn’t blow me out of the park, and I hope that you can impress me more.

7/10

CARRIE
Your vocals are simply stunning. While I’m not 100% a fan of this song, I feel you left your heart out there and it was great!

Video was horrible, song was ok, background music was ok.

3.5/10

ARIANA
A super vocal, catchy song and great performance. Very impressed!

Celine:Also for the lights. The Video was hard to watch due to so many lights going on.

Nicki Minaj, you're up!

CARRIE
I feel like there was way too much going on onstage, that it distracted from you. Your vocals weren’t always on point and I think you could have done much better.

4/10

CELINE
Song is Ok but not great for a first pick.

7/10

ARIANA
What fantastic staging and a brilliant performance. You have shown great potential! Great diversity!

8/10

IGGY
I thought it was really cool how it was performed during a fashion show, even though that was a bit distracting. I think you are amazing at performing live!
