Realizing the “Love and Heartbreak” theme this week, the Cercado sisters Almira, Irene, Celina and Mylene became mini-Christina Aguileras as they sang and strut along the pop-funk song “Ain’t No Other Man.”
But despite the girl’s vocal thrills and slick moves, judge Simon Cowell found their chosen song not showing their personalities. “You have to bring out your individual personalities much more now.”
“At the moment, it’s so tight the four of you. I kinda want to get know you as individuals and I don’t think you’ve quite given the song yet to get that over,” Simon explained.
But he still described the group’s performance as “brilliant, professional, sassy” just like what they have been doing in the past live shows with their upbeat renditions.
Rita Ora, also one of the judges, remarked: “It was tight, it was professional, it was rehearsed.”
4th Impact’s mentor Chery Fernandez-Versini didn’t forget to come to the sisters’ rescue.
“Honestly, that wasn’t rehearsed. We had really tough week. They only got it yesterday. And I think because they are so professional and they are so tight always, sometimes it’s really easy to overlook the fact that they’ve come from halfway across the world, they are all the way from the Philippines, they are missing home. I have so much respect for you girls,” Cheryl said.
Judge Nick Grimshaw, meanwhile, was entertained. “That was proper entertainment from beginning to end. I think sometimes you are so sweet. But tonight felt like a bit nasty. It’s really, really entertaining.”
Mason Noise from the boys category was later voted off from the competition.
The remaining acts are Louisa Johnson, Lauren Murray, Che Chesterman, Reggie ‘N’ Bollie, Anton Stephans.
Another act will be eliminated on Monday. TVJ
