And we're off!
Pete Waterman has been introduced with a short medley of his hits
Pete will be in charge of the panel who will select the final three. The other two are Jade ewen, who sang last year, and Bruno Toliolli from the show Strictly Come Dancing.
They have been introduced. Bruno had his memory stired by a clip of the song from the 1980 'Song For Europe', when he was in the backing group
Karen is the first to sing, she is now being introduced with a video
She is singing a Kylie song, 'What Do I HaveTo Do'
She is wearing a shiny black dress and has 4 backing dancers
Her voice is reassonable but not that strong. It has a husky tinge
Pete - " I asked her to step up tonight, she did that"
Jade - "You did well being on first"
Bruni - "In the chorus, I would have liked something more spunky"
Alexis is on next. It's a guy, by the way
He is singing a Rick Astley song, 'Never Gonna Give You Up'
He is wearing a suit with no tie and has 5 female backing dancers
His voice is ok, but his inexperience is showing
Pete - "You were a little bit flat at the start, but brilliant, well done"
Bruno - "You know how to work a crowd, don't you? You recovered really well from a bad start"
Jade - "Your performance was sincere"
Uni5 are up next. They were brought together by the BBC and only met a few weeks ago.
They are singing the Bananarama and Steps hit, "Last Thing On My Mind"
They are 3 ladies and 2 gents with no backing singers
After a slightly dodgy start, they are sounding the best act so far
Pete - "This was a difficult task and they didn't really work as a group, you didn't really gel"
Jade - "Considering the circumstances, you did really well"
Bruno - "You didn't quite sound like a group, but given time, you will get it right"
The youngest act is next, Esma
She will sing the Donna Summer song, 'This Time I Know It's For Real'
She is wearing a short, cream dress.
She is giving a confident performance
Her voice is also good, she is getting into the song now
Pete - "Fantastic, well done."
Bruno - "The look, the voice, a diva in the making!"
Jade - "You gave controlled, consistant vocals. I can see you in a big arena"
Josh is the next singer
He is singing the Jason Donovan hit, 'Too Many Broken Hearts"
He is wearing jeans, a check shirt and waistcoat
He has 4 scantily clad lovelies on stage with him
His voice is the strongst so far
Pete - "Singing perfect, just put a little bit more into your performance"
Bruno - "Singing great, dancing can be improved"
The last act is on next, MissFitz, a 3 member girl band
Their song is the Steps hit, 'Better the Devil You Know'
An off key start
