Theya Fowler; Nice tone to voice but be more inventive with songs. Lacking confidence, work on confidence.
Zelah Van-Gowler; Image great. Make sure you don't copy, find your own style. Vocals need to be stronger.
Taylor Cousins; Liked the idea of own song. Vocals could be stronger.
Nicole Collier; Good confident delivery, pitch slightly out on certain notes
Georgia Miller; Good eye contact, good choice of song. Loosen up the performance more, take acting or dance classes to feel ever more confident.
