    Carl De Marco to win…outstanding performance and world class!

  2. Julie Hann says:

    Annelies all the way. Carl is good but much older than Annelies and she already has an amazing classical voice. Someone should sign this girl. Catherine Jenkins in the making

  3. Jayne says:

    What a stunning performance from such a young girl. Annelies you are amazing

  4. Matt Lloyd-Lewis says:

    It would seem that Carl has all his family and friends voting for him. A little unfair I think

  5. Hannah Grindell says:

    Annelies you are amazing. I wish I could sing like that

  6. Jayne Lloyd-Lewis says:

    Fantastic Annelies for anyone never mind someone who is only 15 years old

  7. julia hayman says:

    I think Carl De Marco should win Annelies has a pretty voice and the rest too but Marks Budgie in the bck ground kind of puts me off. Carl has bags of talent and vocal technique he has obviously been trained to the highest standard with his breath technique and he looks cute too….I would love to find out where he performs and get some tickets.

  8. Carol Wilkinson says:

    The others have nice voices but i think Carl has the best all round abilities and this comes across so well in his clip….The 1st guy is good 2nd guy..the budgie is singing louder..annalies has lovely voice but…Carl gave me goose bumps all over …what an amazing last note what technique an energy goes into every performance he must give…carl to win win win

    Carl De Marco has an exceptional voice. It’s a tad unfair that comments have been made of voting being unfair. Carl is obviously an extremely talented guy and deserves the positive comments. He is clearly an experienced singer and I would imagine has worked hard to get to this level of ability. Go Carl I say!

    The standard is very high and I think Annelies is good but not devloped vocally enough yet but Carl is the stand out winner, he has a much stronger voice than all the others and has a great belt. Would love to see more of him and he should definately win!

  26. Lynda Barnes says:

    This Carl de Marco guy seems very popular and I can see why!Fantastic feeling and emotion coupled with a strong tenor voice. Also he looks aged and like he can draw on many emotions from the past when he sings. The others just haven’t got the range! Vincero indeed!
