Back on top! :D :cheer:

Five votes for Holly.

Don't worry Grace were also cringing each week at how you write each of your songs and the inspiration behind them. Very vanilla and doesn't make her stand out at all. Think two of the girls are going but can't decide which :thinking:

Proper creasing at the Harry Styles moment :rofl: Holly took a while to get into the track I thought, but once it sped up it worked quite well. Definitely think she'd be marketed in a similar way to Ella Henderson.

WHAT EVEN IS THIS? Awfully produced and far too shouty.

Think she is thinking the same, the close up during his performance of her face was priceless :lol:

Blazin'.

Not a fan of this one either - it's such a classic and hes butchered it :(

This really isn't the performance she needs to be delivering!

I really hope she isn't, shes my favourite out of the girls :( Based on performances on the whole, Rai-Elle and Matt need to go tonight.

The first half of the album really has grown since my first listen. I'm enjoying Surrender a bit more now and Guilty is BRILLIANT.

OMG flawless!!!!!

It reminded me a lot of the season two finale with Denny. At least we know this season is going to deal with this mid season finale storyline after a year and a half of waiting! Still shook by how brilliant it was!

Can we all remember to use spoilers please? :)

FINALLY

The Cutkelvins. Liked their original but it does sound very generic :/

I was surprised when I tuned in and they said she’d opened the show. Hopefully it doesn’t hinder her. That gif :rofl:

Tone bloody deaf :eyeroll:

OMG they’re so annoying even without the singing :drama:

I’m glad she’s not at the bottom though. Her vs Susan in dance off?

He’s butchered this and should have included Jesy’s note. Diction and production was awful too.

Loved the last few seconds I caught! So up beat and loved the lifts! :D

1. Evolution: reminds me so much of the introduction to Alicia Keys' "Here". Don't rate introductions as per Meaning Of Life album thread! 2. The Architect: Her diction is a bit off in this for me but I think this will translate better live and I'm glad this has come straight away in the tracklisting. Nothing more I dislike about these concept albums where the title track is second from last or something! :lol: 7/10 3. Guilty: Love the inspiration behind this track, such a grower from first listen! 7/10 4. Crybaby: brilliant, such an unsurpising sound to go for in terms of come back single and love how much airplay this has had, especially with Heart! 9/10 5. I'll Be Gentle: probably not my favourite of hers and feels very album track-y. 6. Politics of Hope: another interlude-introduction :drama: 7. Kings and Queens: probably the one on the album so far that I really don't like and feels filler :( 3/10 8. Surrender: A bit more engaging than the previous track but still nothing standout 5/10 9. Warrior - I'd forgotten Sia had written for this album but instantly this felt very Sia. Paloma sounds fantastic on this :wub: 8/10 10. 'Til I'm Done: Finally something really upbeat in the same line as Crybaby. Fabulous and feels very retro! :D 8/10 11. Lost and Lonely: and were back to filler :drama: very middle of the road 4/10 12. Still Around: I was very excited for this after hearing Tobias Jesso Jr was on board but very one tone and doesn't build enough for me :( 4/10 13. Pawns - another interlude :drama: 14. WW3 - upbeat, pleasant and very similar to 'Til I'm Done! 6/10 15. Love Me As I Am: I liked this one when I heard it on her BBC2 red button special last week. Sounds good on album! 7/10 Deluxe tracks (even though the album was long enough before hand): 16. Power to the Peaceful: Snooze again 3/10 17. Tonght's Not The Only Night: reminds me a bit of Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight. 4/10 18. My Body - is this a demo or filler? WHAT EVEN IS THAT PRODUCTION 3/10 19. Price of Fame - I liked this and feels like a good closer. 6/10 Overall: this is probably my least favourite of hers. Her debut and A Perfect Contradiction were FANTASTIC. This feels very filler-y and was a very long drawn out listen :( Crybaby, Guilty, Love Me As I Am, Warrior and Til I'm Done are easily the standouts.

Reckon his album will follow similar to Camila's, Q1 release to avoid the Christmas market rush and loss.
