Week 1 - Live Shows

[Dermot O'Leary]

Welcome to your first week of Live Shows!


The judges have had some time to decide what the theme will be for this week, and they have reached a decision! This week's theme is...
























Songs by Michael Jackson!


You will each perform a Michael Jackson song, you will discuss with your mentor on what song you will sing, you will also need approval from your mentor, since no one can sing the same song.


When you're ready, you will make your own thread and post a video of your song as well as the lyrics. You may want to add a few words for why this song best suits you or the reason why you chose it.


And the end of the performances, the voting will begin and the polls will be open.


You have 24 hours. But since this is the first live show, I may extend it to 48 hours, if needed.


Good Luck!

Does it have to be sung by Michael Jackson or could it be a cover?

It has to be a Michael Jackson song, but if you're referring to the youtube video, it can be a cover of one of his songs. The video is for you to be creative, so it's open to interpretation.

Do we pm our coach? About our song?

[Dermot O'Leary]

You could PM your mentors, or there's also a sub-board in the Contestants' Mansion for you to speak openly to your mentor.

[Dermot O'Leary]

I have decided to allow 48 hours for performances, since acts need time to discuss their song choices with their mentors.

So you have an addition 24 hours to post your performance.

After that the voting will begin
