But then what the viewers get to do it allready feels like a niche compitition, i would have expected from the live shows the viewers can have a say

The girl dance group was diabolical, I don't think Japser Blue really worked in the way I wanted them to or the way they could have but they definitely had more to give. It's odd that the girls made all the fuss over making sure to differentiate Melladaze as a dance group and then they didn't really do a lot, it really left a lot to be desired vocally and choreo wise, I think the other girl group had better energy and performance overall!

 

YChange were on another level to the others tonight, the girl vocal group and the boyband were alright but I expected more of both of them.

SO!

 

My thoughts were I loved the girls opening performance although for some reason I expected it to have been recorded with Jade (pre her isolation) but they did so well with one member down.

 

As for the groups I wasn’t keen much on Since September’s choice of song. I didn’t really think it worked and it all sounded a bit flat.

 

Nostalia sounded great together and I loved their harmonies. They’ll likely be better when the member who couldn’t perform ones back next week.

 

New Priority were BAD except for Zeekay so pretty much felt the same as Jesy. The rest I think were all chosen for looks the vocals were bad the choreo was ropey yeah not great but I think in a public vote they’d do well.

 

Jasper Blue weren’t all that great for a show like this. I think it’s hard for mixed groups as pop mixed groups like these aren’t like trendy no more they were verging on like S Club / Steps and that style of band wouldn’t work on this industry.

 

Y Change are by far the best and the only act who’d work in today’s scene like Haus said I agree on this. They might not be the most popular on a show like this but they’re the most polished.

 

Melladaze we’re better than the comments seemed. Like I actually rather liked them.

 

My main issue was I wish they’d reveal Little Mix’s scores all at the end instead of after each performance. Like score them in secret and then reveal the leaderboard from top to bottom just before the sing off. I didn’t like the idea of them doing it like that. I mean if it was like strictly where there’s a public vote as well as a judges score fair enough but it lacked tension.

I thought that Melladaze were the worse sounding group but that the right group went home as I could see Melladaze actually releasing and being an active band, Jasper Blue I couldn't see working at all unfortunately even if I quite liked them!

Since September - I like their name. Not a flattering song choice at all but I still think they have loads of potential

Nostalia - Loved the song choices. Their vocals were great individually but it didn't quite come together as a group for me

New Priority - Jesy was right. They were severely lacking in energy. I don't mind them going next unless they step it up next week

Jasper Blue - They said they didn't want to be cheesy but they were. Jordan's bum note made me cringe. Melina is a star.

YChange - I was doubtful about them but they were easily the best performance of the night. They felt more like a guest act.

Melladaze - Very polished visually but the vocals need work. Honestly, as the dance group, they should be allowed to lipsync. They're pretty far along for being a new group so I think they have potential to improve.

This would be so much better!

YChange and Nostalia are definitely my favourite groups hopefully both will make the final . Since September have potential I think but they picked the wrong song with better song choices they could be great . I would say they should be the final 3 based of the first live show !

 

New Priority were ok but a little dull with only Zeekay standing out. Melladaze are definitely the worst I don’t see it for them as a group

Yeah that was an awful song choice for Since September, but they definitely have potential. (though they really should've tried to get some drummers auditioning, it feels slightly off without one)

Yep. That's what was missing for me! Isn't it the drummer that's usually the most popular member too? Harry (McFly), Ashton (5SOS), Phil Collins (Genesis) and (I'd probably argue) Travis (blink) etc..

 

Them playing together just sounded so flat and off key to me.

It only got 2m viewers again despite Strictly getting 9.4m after it . Yikes. They'll probably never speak of it again when it's done.

 

Adds further fuel to the fire realising that the Jax performance probs would have had 3-4m viewers (with Strictly viewers pre-tuning in) whilst their Sweet Melody one probs got 1.5m or something.
