Cheri
was performing Black Veil Brides, Morticians Daughter.
She had a problem with her guitar as she never played plugged in before, and there was a tuning problem. So she borrowed a guitar. It would be better and more comfortable if she had use a accompanist.
She used lyrics and sang sitting on a chair so the engaging with the audience was limited. It would be better to sing standing and using full potential of the diaphragm.
Eva
She performed 'Into you' by Still
She did a good job, used guitar accompanist. Her mike technique and dynamics were good. She engaged with the guitarist during singing. She should use more dynamic with the microphone and practice technique of singing the hight notes. She should use more contract.
Kim
Performed 'Who you are' by Jessie Jay.
She did a great job with the song. She have used an accompanist for the piano. The song seemed more confident at the end, than beginning. Great dynamics, engaging with the piano player, and very good use of diaphragm on the high notes.

Dorota
I was performing a piece called "Only Hope" from the movie "A walk to Remember". Words and music by Jonathan Foreman.
The performance went well, even though there were some obstacles. Originally Reece was supposed to accompany on the piano for me, but it did not work out in the last minute. Dot played for me and we had just couple of minutes before the class to rehearse that. I was singing in the lower key as I've practiced before, so that was a bit different.
The feed back I got was: I should work on a high notes and sing them instead of sliding through them, the mike technique, engaging with the audience and the accompanist was good. Somebody commented that I felt the lyrics I was singing about, and delivered the emotions of the song.
There was a point I forgot some lyrics, but I've just started to sing right away from the point I've remembered.
Maria
The piece Maria was singing was called "Starry Eyed" by Ellie Goulding
She did a great job, very confident. Engaging with Nikai who was playing guitar for her. You can see that she practiced it very well. I really liked how she shoved emotions throughout the song. The Energy and deliverance were great!
She did a very good job with the high notes. She should focus on engaging with the audience more.
Amy
She sang a song by Amy Whitehouse.
Great performance. Beautiful voice and the song. Good dynamics, expression and mike technique. She should engaged with the audience more. She swallowed some phrases. But the performance was great! Good practice with the accompanist.

Rosella
Rosella performed a piece called: Never let me go by Florence and the machine.
She had backing singers Natalie and Kerris.
She is my favorite singer. There is a magic when she sings. Her voice and performance were very confident full of expression.
Julia
She performed "Sway" by Pussycat Dolls. I thought that the style of the song went well with her voice. That was a good improvement from the last time. Great tone on the voice. Good diction and mike technique. She needs work on phrasing.
Natalie
She sang "I don't love you" by My chemical romance.
Very confident, engaging with the audience and the guitarist. Good mike techniques. Contrast in volume and dynamics. She thought about the lyrics and put it into her performance.
Thamson
Played a piano piece. It was very long piece and she played it from the memory. It was very musical interpretation, but should be more of dynamics contrast. There was lots of mistakes but it was really lovely overall. Very confident.
Should me more theme with the right hand.

Kerris
Performed a song called That's it I Quit I'm moving On by Sam Cooke.
I liked the way she accented some of the words both musically and with her expression. She did not engaged with the audience enough the reason for that was she wasn't very confident about it. Great timings and diction.
Kris
Kris was playing piece called "Surrender Now" by Isaac Riley
Dot suggested he should practice playing with singing trough the phrases which makes it more musical. Great jazzy chords, but he wasn't feeling comfortable with it, so before he played them there were some pauses. There should be more dynamics and contrast thought the piece. To much holding of a pedal. Great tempo.
