Note: While the opinion is 100% mine, the format I'll be using and the overall inspiration to review the contest in a blog comes from Music is the door blog, so please, consider checking his/her blog as well.
Now let's go to the point...
Ellie Lovegrove - Wings (Little Mix)
Performance: 9
Funny how I really enjoy Ellie better when she's having fun and performing on stage rather than just standing and singing, I think I like her better out of her comfort zone, she captivates me more.
Vocals: 8
She sang well but she struggled with the song, I think. I liked it but it wasn't awesome.
Song: 8
As much as I love this side of Ellie, I think Natalie is totally right when she says Foo should pick a direction for Ellie and follow it because I don't know what kind of artist she is.
JTR - Want U Back (Cher Lloyd)
Performance: 8
It was a great performance, they worked well the audience. Unfortunately, they're just too teen to me, not something I would buy.
Vocals: 7
They sing well but I still think they're weak. The "rapping" part didn't really work, it would have been better if they had cut out.
Song: 8
Nah, it was a good song choice for them, I think it fits their style and public.
Taylor Henderson - Let Her Go (Passenger)
Performance: 8
This is definitely not a "performable" song so judging by the overall thing, I thought it was ok. My thing with Taylor is that he never did something beyond that, he's good but I don't see anything special.
Vocals: 8
Still, nothing special. This is a really beautiful song and I don't think it would catch my attention if I haven't known it before.
Song: 9
Still, it suits his style and is something I would expect from him, better than his previous performances.
Joelle - True Love (P!nk feat. Lily Allen)
Performance: 8
Stage looked gorgeous and she seemed to be having fun and enjoying her time. I liked that
Vocals: 6
On the other hand, I hated the vocals. I didn't feel the energy, the interpretation of the song, I might be sounding too harsh on her because I'm huge P!nk fan but I didn't like it. Note: It was funny to hear Ronan saying her performance didn't go anywhere vocally when neither does Jai's. At least she has a gorgeous falsetto and beautiful tone.
Song: 6
That was such a bad song choice for her, I thought things would finally work out when I saw she would be singing P!nk but not this song! Once again, Foo picked the right artist, but the wrong song! Once she opens her range, specially her lower tones, I can imagine a wonderful interpretation of Sober.

Jai Waetford - It Will Rain (Bruno Mars)
Overall: 4
I'm sorry but I won't even divide into categories, I hate this song and Jai's voice annoys me, I refused to watch both combined until the end.

Jiordan Tolli - Burn (Ellie Goulding)
Performance: 9
Like Dannii said, she own the stage, she's got presence, I felt like she was in complete control of the whole thing. The only reason why it wasn't perfect is that I think she could have worked better the audience, get next to them, interact a little bit.
Vocals: 9
Did she sound perfect? No. But first, she was sick, and second, it didn't bother me at all, I don't like this song in Ellie's voice, but oddly enough, I loved it in Jiordan's!
Song: 8
It was nice to see her trying something new and it worked really well this time, unlike "Smile" performance. The only thing I was not sure is how this song fits her voice, it's true I loved it but sometimes I wasn't sure if she was trying to sound like Ellie or just showing a different side of her voice other than the gorgeous deep tone we already know. I loved it but I had this doubt in mind.

Third D3gree - Love The Way You Lie (Eminem feat. Rihanna)
Performance: 10
To be very honest, I'm not sure about this 10 because I didn't get those sticks on the ground. Were they supposed to build some kind of path or something like that? I don't know but I don't like them. It's just that the overall thing was just so beautiful I felt like I needed to give them a 10.
Vocals: 10
Jordan is stepping up and proving why he was chosen to be on this group and I honestly appreciate that. Kelebek's rapping was fantastic, the whole performance sounded amazing.
Song: 10
Seems like Natalie is getting her things together this year! This was such an awesome song choice for them.

Omar Dean - Skyscraper (Demi Lovato)
Performance: 8
Not bad, not great either. Nothing much to say about it.
Vocals: 7
He sounded good but I have to point out that singing the whole chorus in falsetto really annoyed me. It could have sounded beautiful but it's still not for my taste.
Song: 9
That was an unexpected song choice for Omar but it really worked, I like that. I didn't like it as much as his previous performance but it was certainly more interesting

Dami Im - Roar (Katy Perry)
Performance: 8
She did great but I didn't feel her as comfortable and good as last week. I missed some more energy too.
Vocals: 9
Hm, I don't know, she sounded great but I felt like it was weaker than usual Dami. I don't know if it was the song choice that didn't let her shine completely but I didn't enjoy it as much as I imagined
Song: 9
That was I was talking about when I asked for something modern and still Dami-ish. The song fit her voice really well, I just wish she had developed more in terms of performance but great job

So, tonight's ranking goes:
1 - Third D3gree (10)
2 - Jiordan Tolli (9,0)
3 - Dami Im (8,5)
4 - Ellie Lovegrove (8,4)
5 - Taylor Henderson (8,2)
6 - Omar Dean (7,8)
7 - JTR (7,6)
8 - Joelle (6,9)
9 - Jai Waetford (4,0)
My predictions for bottom 2? Ellie: She did a great job but she's not popular. Also, she was the first to sing so she's in real trouble. Joelle: She's clearly popular but her performances have been so under her potential. I don't know how long is Australia going to believe in her potential.
And for overall ranking:
1 - Third D3gree (9,4)
2 - Jiordan Tolli (9,2)
3 - Dami Im (9,2)
4 - Ellie Lovegrove (8,5)
5 - Taylor Henderson (8,2)
6 - Omar Dean (7,7)
7 - Joelle (7,6)
8 - JTR (7,5)
9 - Jai Waetford (6,3)
