Judges at Cardiff included Lynn Marie Boudreau, Angela Durrant, singer/songwriter Simon Cooper, Dean Hill, Drum school's Stuart Slater and Total Star's David Stone

18-25's;

Charlotte Elsey; Controlled opening and friendly delivery. Song choice perhaps too difficult.

Grant Griffiths; Think about image in your next performance. Natural story telling and pure voice.

Kirsty O'brien; Watch diction, powerful voice but perhaps start smaller so it has somewhere to go.

Beatbox Tangent; Nice triplets, vocal variation amazing at times, need to engage audience as well.

Chloe Cooke; Dealt with technical hitch well, watch image. Confidence came across straight away.

Michael Platt; Engaging with audience, lovely clean vocals, timing needs work.

Ashley Horton; Nice vocal, good energy, try to tell us the story with your eyes. Need to use stage more.

Casi Wyn; Good dynamics. Great emotion in your storytelling.

Chris Hughes; Strong clean voice, great confidence, pitch sounds out every now and then and perhaps not the right song for you.

Dec and Harri; Need to work on relationship between peformers on stage, Great vocals but rhythmically not quite there yet.

Emma Stone; No use of stage, needs facial expressions, good audience interaction.

Emma White; Interesting choice of material, sung well, try not to look at pianist during performance, it disrupts it.

Jasmine Griffiths; Dynamically varied, confident, flexible performance but don't hold on to the muc during performance.

Jemma Krysa; Same song as audition would have liked to have heard something else. Great image work on delivery to audience.

Meet The Martyns; You have potential but need to think outside the box and work on performance anxiety.

Michelle Cook; Focused voice, don't look down. Nerves took over.

Rebecca Jones; Very engaging to watch, do an much performance you can to keep confidence growing. More power in the high notes would have been great.

John Anthony Adams; Looks confident, don't be tempted to speed up ahead of the track. Use the stage more.
