Janet Devlin Live Show 5 Performance Summary

Category : The Girls.
Mentor : Kelly Rowland.
Song Title : I Want You Back .
Recorded By : Jackson 5 .
Available From : Amazon.

Janet took a risk with a Jackson 5 classic, but for us it did not really work because she forgot some of the words. However, it made a change from the slow songs that she sings every week and it was somewhat refreshing to see her do a up tempo number.

Judges Comments

Louis Walsh: You stepped out of your comfort zone, I loved the interpretation, I love your voice, I’m a big fan of you in this competition.

Tulisa Contostavlos: I know I put pressure on you saying I’d like to see you do something up tempo but I’m starting to see that you’ve kind of got your own style and it’s amazing and it’s unique and watching you do something else tonight, made me think you should stick to what you know. You looked a bit uncomfortable.

Kelly Rowland: I did let you pick the song, I still think that going out and trying something new was really good. I think that tonight performance was a good performance it probably wasn’t one of your strongest, but babe guess what you still came out and had a good time.


Gary Barlow: feel weird saying this but for me that performance just wasn’t right. I thought vocally it was really weak, I think you completely lost your identity and I think coming back next week you have to stick with Kelly, let her mentor you, because she knows where you should be going.
