Judges' Houses Pt 2: The Groups and Girls and tears

Gary has the six groups in New York.

Kingsland
Competent, youngish. Gary says they remind him of his group when they'd first started. As that was 23 years ago I would have taken that as less than a major compliment. I can see them being popular on Live Shows but not getting very far.

Brick City
Very tight and nice colour co-ordination. They're together and in tune but I just don't see them selling or actually getting votes.

Rough Copy
There's been an emotional halo around these guys since last year's visa problems and this year's seem to have only served to grow that rather than leave us all frustrated that someone somewhere didn't get their act together. For all that, they perform excellently and seem to have an endearing quality that you don't expect from a couple of street lads like these.

Xyra
They'd done well at Boot Camp and some of them were impressive but there was something missing in how they came across tonight.

Code 4
Nice performance with all the extras. These guys are so well-organised and they put on a really good show. They would be super-reliable.

Dynamix
The new girl group with a name change. Three very good singers who know how to weat short shorts and get men's attention. Brilliant voices and certainly they have talent but I am not so sure how they will come across on Live Shows.

Through to the Live Shows are Rough Copy, Kingsland and Dynamix. That's about right.

Nicole has the girls in stunning surroundings in Antigua

Temera
Very determined girl who is quite individual. A good performer and I can see her fitting in the Live Shows well. The make-up teams will have a field day and could make her really glamorous too.

Melanie
She is so desperately wanting to make it this time. Her performance wasn't that stunning this time. Good and there is something very likeable about this girl.

Abi
Just superb. It seems that everything this girl does is flawless yet seemingly totally made up just a few minutes before, if that. She's an absolute must for the Live Shows and totally 'today'. Winning would be good for the series.

Hannah
Looking a lot better than she did in her previous auditions but still not really what I want to have filling my screen every Saturday night. She sand brilliantly, though, pulling out every trick in the book and impressing Nicole and the guest judge, Mary Jo Blyth, a lot. Choosing Something's Gonna Change was a very good move.

Jade
Another contestant trying again, Jade has a great voice and control but just has no audience appeal. Ugly tattoos don't help either. She is very competent but I don't see her moving on this year either.

Relly
Pleasant girl who looks as if she should be in the Overs. The black and white hair is now just black and she sings well but she is not really in this competition with the other five being so much better.

The emotions run high and it is a very sad farewell to Melanie after all, which I hadn't expected. Through to entertain us are Temera, Abi and Hannah.

Now the competition really starts!
