Over 25's;
Jay Cee; Good delivery, nice song but a bit limited in range.
Dai Roberts; Good vocals abd guitar skill, work on engaging more with the audience.
JD Kelly; Good song choice, perhaps start off quieter to create build in the song.
Jenny Frost; Lovely focused voice but try more breath when singing. Learn to work the stage and work on vocal range.
Kev Lee Roy; Good image, needs more self believe and originality - find yourself not a copy.
Laima; Great voice, engage more, fantastic image.
Leurve; Some harmonies didn't quite work, work on togetherness of the music.
Modz; The look was original but I missed a smile! Watch the power of your lower registers.
Nick B Byrne; Eeyes closed throughout the performance, need to work on that. Energised playing and singing, try ending each phrase more confidently.
Sarah Wilson-Blackwell; Dealt with technical hitch well. Good vocal skills and style, telling the story a bit more would be good.
The Amber Hour; Always face the audience, feel what each other are doing instead of having to look. Very good vocal technique.
Eliisa; Good powerful control and mic technique. Work on image
Natty German; Good sound and good choice of song, try more dynamics even on quieter song.
Alex Gear; Liked the cover. Work on image. Work on enjoyment of performance and audience interaction.
James Randell; Best song so far. Tell the story of the song and work with a music theatre coach if that's where you want to go. Make sure delivery is theatrical and not cabaret.
Cheryl Roberts; Different style, talented vocals, work on delivery and believe in yourself.
Ross Gurney; Strong clear vocals but eyes closed for most of performance. Maybe could do more with the guitar.
