If I were to place a bet on who would win it all, Nicole would be my choice. Has wonderful power and range in her voice. The obvious comparisons would be the big-voice singers like K-lo, Kelly and Frenchie. But I think she will find her own style as the show comes along.

I love her voice.
She's a favourite with me at the moment.

[Siso]

Oh i have to agree, she has a beautiful voice, i hope she makes it far in the competition!

[fluff]

I didn't think last night was her best, but she was still a stand out for me.
Hope she made it through.

Nicole went from can't lose to wildcard hopeful. That's a shame.

Terrible, terrible song choice. Why she tried to gospelize a Celine Dion song, I have no idea. What she should've done was belt out the obligatory "I Having Nothing" by Whitney Houston. That would've had the judges on their knees.

Funny. A Celine song would've been appropriate for Kelly-Ann to sing and Georgia on My Mind would've fit Nicole's soulful singing style perfect. Both by far have the best voices in the competition. The poor song selection killed them.

The wildcard group should have some awesome talent if Nicole and Kelly are in. I think/hope the judges recognize that.
