I love the sound of your voice. The emotion you put into this song was amazing! Your own backing vocals were beautiful. Your timing was spot on and your harms were so beautiful! Unfortunately from 3.14 to 3.17 your harms were a bit out of tune.
JUDGE 2 You have such a lovely voice! I really liked your BGVs and gave it wonderful ethereal feel. Your emotions came through very clearly for me. You did a nice job of balancing the volumes. You were mainly on pitch but veered off slightly at times. Excellent song choice! This was a wonderful entry and great job!

I loved this because your voice and energy were amazing. This was really wonderful and I enjoyed everything. Good job!
JUDGE 2 Wow! You have a really pretty and unique voice with a great range! The harmonies you added to this were on point, and I loved the way you played with the endings of words. I felt like that added a lot of character to the song. I did hear a couple of timing issues and one pitch error. At 2:26-2:27 and 3:54-3:55 your layers are not in sync, and at 3:15 you are slightly sharp on the end of the word “happy” but this was very minor. Overall, this was a stellar performance, and you are my star entry pick for the week!

I was disappointed to hear doubled vocals instead of harmonies, as I feel you have that potential. You have an incredible lead vocal and you chose the right song for your voice. I’ve marked you down as your doubled vocal had a few timing mistakes at points 2:30 and 3:07. You have really good control and an amazing lead vocal and that last note blew me away! Keep doing what you’re doing and work on those harmonies. Well done!
JUDGE 2 This entry was a strong song choice for you! In the last refrain of the song you had some timing issues and the high notes were a little bit flat. Overall a good performance and I love your voice! Thank you!

I really enjoyed it. Now you know my next part, you submitted with 1 layer so 1 point was deducted for that. You also had quite a few mic distortions ( 1:17, 1:28, 2:33, 2:41, 3:54). They happened when you really let loose on those raging notes so I had to deduct for recording quality. I loved your attitude though! I also loved the emotion you gave and I felt this song was full of character and was definitely the right song choice for you. Well done!
Judge 2 You have a great voice! I love Alanis and you did it great! You had a few timing issues at 0.30-0.45, 0.57-1.10. The timing issues were the same in the second part of the song. In the refrain, there was some microphone distortion. Overall you sang it great! It was a great song for your great voice! Thank you, very much.

You had nice tuning and an awesome vibrato. Your high voice was really clear and nice and I loved the little whispering part at 3:08. I liked your echoes. I heard a really little flat note at 0:47. Your entry is really sweet but I would have liked to have heard some changes in dynamics throughout the song to keep me really enthused. You should be proud as you did an amazing job! Well done!
JUDGE 2 This is another of my favourite Green Day songs and this is truly amazing! I have loved pretty much every version of this song! I did hear a couple of flat notes but other than that, this entry is one that you should be proud of! One of the best I’ve heard so far in this competition. Well done!

There’s not much I have to say here. The spoken parts and the laughter are great. I also loved your harmonies. In total a very varied performance. Keep going that way! JUDGE 2 I loved this, Babydoll. You performed this with great character and I loved all your added extra bits. This song really suited you and was a great song choice for this round. Watch the synchronisation of your layers it wasn’t always 100% together. You were ever so slightly under pitch in the choruses, but it was inconsequential for me. Overall this was a great entry. Well done!

Beautiful and stable voice. I also loved the arrangement of your performance. Harmonies are great. I don’t have any negative to say. Maybe there could be a bit more *filling* with background vocals towards the end but that’s just a suggestion. Overall utterly enjoyable!
JUDGE 2 I love this song. It was a great choice for the round brief and a good choice for you. I wanted you to attack this song much more though. I really wanted to feel like you missed the person you were singing about but you held back on me. I needed a lot more emotion from you. It was a really sweet arrangement and your harmonies were nice. Watch your pitching and timing of the harmonies they were often flat and a little out of sync. Nice dynamics, but needed some more from you. Overall a lovely entry. Well done!
