I'M LOOKING FOR A DUTCH TRANSLATOR, IF INTRESETED, EMAIL ME
UPDATE: Pyke Pos is cut!! Sim'Ran was in the B2.
Last week, Ed Ruyer was cut in one of the most surprising boots of the season, given that he was a clear frontrunner and one of the favourites since his audition. The problem is that he wasn't delievering, while the other acts kept improving. Tonight, the top 5 will sing once more two songs each, on the Summer Jam theme. Who will be cut tonight? Will be the last girl, over or boy? Or will it be the second group leaving? ... It's time to face the music!
Comments, videos and ratings AFTER THE JUMP ....
Rochelle Perts
"I Gotta Feeling" (The Black Eyed Peas) - 7,5/10 - Well, I hate this song. One of the worst from them, but I'm confident she can do a great job with it. We've got the rappy vocals and the swagg needed for this song, but she's not nailing it and it's because this song sucks. She showed terrific vocals as always but it wasn't unique. - VIDEO
Pyke Pos
"A Song for You" (Herbie Hancock) - 8/10 - This is sounding terrific! This is exactly the type of performances he should be doing! Jazzy soulful slow tunes. It's really emotional of course. Pyke doesn't have the most unique voice, but he has a really nice tone, almost raspy at times, which make up for what he doesn't have. That was really great. - VIDEO
Adlicious
"Mas que nada"/"Conga" (Jorge Ben/Miami Sound Machine) - 7,5/10 - WTF happened to Angela tonight? Why this songs? They are like the worst songs ever! Yeah, summerish but not good enough for a singing competition. They save this performance from total wreckage cause they are great but if this was Sim'Ran's performance, they coud already be saying goodbye. That was entertaining though. - VIDEO
Sim'Ran
"Emotion" (Destiny’s Child) - 8/10 - This promises to be good. This will be really vocal focused. Their harmonies sound pretty, though they failed at some. It's actually a really nice performance, if not one of their bests. They are sounding better than ever tonight! It was really beautiful. - VIDEO
Rolf Wienk
"Hero" (Enrique Iglesias) - 8,5/10 - Yeah, the songs suck tonight. I hate Enrique Iglesias, so any song of him will equally suck. Still, this isn't his worst song and the acousitc vibe it has here actually works pretty good. Rolf is doing a really good job with this one. He nailed some of those notes and it was really emotional, not as some of his previous performances which were more fun than feelings. - VIDEO
Round 2
Pyke Pos
"Hey, Soul Sister" (Train) - 7,5/10 - OMG! This songs! You are killing me people! This isn't necessarily bad, his voice sounds good and he hits the notes. The problem with this one, it's too similar to the original, if not a perfect copy. Yeah, he showed a great abilitiy of singing but he didn't make it his own. - VIDEO
Rochelle Perts
"Nothin' on You" (B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars) - 10/10 - This is an amazing song choice for her! Finally! This is one of Rochelle's bests. The slow intimate start in the audience was a great idea. And then fastening it for her to do her usual rappy sound was also great. This is what all of them should be doing! Nailing a song! This was the best so far! - VIDEO
Sim'Ran
"Let's Get Loud" (Jennifer Lopez) - 7/10 - At least they are winning something tonight, worst song choice! This is much better than Jlo's of course but they aren't good when they do this things. They don't seem to learn! Everytime they go with a dance sound, they end in the bottom. I would expct them doing so again. - VIDEO
Adlicious
"Halo" (Beyoncé) - 10/10 - Yay! A song I love! They are definitely my favourites, if they don't win this thing, I'll hate you dutchies. They've everything! How can you ask for more? The most beautiful performance of the night! That was pure class! Yes, show the other kids how it's done! Amazing! - VIDEO
Rolf Wienk
"Livin' la Vida Loca" (Ricky Martin) - 6/10 - Oh god! Why Rolf?! This is almost painful. His voice is a mess, he's not hitting most of the notes. I'm hating this, despite I left aside how much I hate this song. This was a night to forget on the XF, definitely the worst night ever! - VIDEO
