Alright, I have done a simple analysis of what was lingering in my mind for each of the ten contestants after watching their performances tonight. Pardon me if the analysis is brief because I have other things to rush for tonight. So here we go.
F1 卢慷倚 分手快乐 原唱者：梁静茹
Agnes' voice sounded a little flat at some notes and she was breathing too hard at some parts of the song. Lee Fei Hui was correct to point out that Agnes sounded too happy in some areas whilst singing the song. I also think that Agnes has a beautiful voice if she is able to hold the notes steady. Her scores were 7.5 + 7.0 + 6.0 = 20.5. I would have given her a 6.25.
F2 阮诗凯 了解 原唱者：孙燕姿
Keely's beat was a little off and a couple of her endnotes were off-key. Her gesticulation was too strong for the gentle song and I found that her neck was rather stiff, causing a weaker audience interaction and stage presence. Her facial expression was also rather "fierce" and thus inappropriate for the song itself. However, her husky voice remains one of the more unique ones around. Her scores were 8.0 + 7.0 + 6.0 = 21.0. I would have given her a 6.75.
F3 赖嘉琪 本来 原唱者：同恩
Jiaqi's gesticulation was on the other hand too bland and she was offkey for the "lai" word. Her facial expression was also stiff and her eyes were not focused enough. I found Jiaqi out of breath at certain parts of the song but her voice is actually quite powerful if projected well and with such a voice, I was impressed by the potentially strong performance if she has chosen another song. Her scores were 8.0 + 6.5 + 5.5 = 20.0. I would have given her a 6.50.
F4 张芮恩 街角的祝福 原唱者：戴佩妮
Rui En's facial expression was also bland and she started off quite weak but managed to gain a better footing in the song as the performance progressed. She was offkey at certain parts of the song and the judges were right to comment about how the small glitches in her performance affected the overall feel of the performance. Her scores were 7.5 + 6.5 + 5.0 = 19.0. I would have given her a 6.0.
F5 许政宁 睁一只眼 闭一只眼 原唱者：蔡依林
Zhengning's singing was a little drowned by the music and sounded rather weak. Although her dance moves at the initial start were impressive but they started to falter in energy at the end of the performance. Her singing was also not very balanced with her dance as I would tell she focused more on the dance portions. If I had closed my eyes and listened, it would be a rather bland performance like what one of the judges said. She must choose a better song to showcase her singing skills. Her scores were 7.5 + 7.0 + 7.0 = 21.5. I would have given her a 6.75.
M1 李俊纬 我可以 原唱者：蔡旻佑
Junwei's eyes were not focused enough and his body language onstage lacked coordination. His gesticulation was too exaggerated at some parts but he managed to get the feel of the song correctly. His endnotes were quite terrible and needed lots of improvement and he was off-key at those important falsetto moments. His scores were 8.0 + 7.5 + 5.5 = 21.0. I would have given him a 5.75.
M2 温俊杰 专属天使 原唱者：TANK
Junjie's voice was way too low for the song and it sounded very montonous to my ears. He must learn to project his voice properly instead of slurring at just the throat area. He also made sudden and inappropriate gestures, making the visual performance rather jarring. His ending was also marred by an off-beat note, most probably due to the fact that he swallowed at the wrong timing. His scores were 8.5 + 6.0 + 5.5 = 20.0. I would have given him a 6.0.
M3 吴福宽 勇气 原唱者：光良
Fu Kuan's eyes were also not focused, darting from place to place and he sort of chopped up his song with too many attempts to distinguish his voice from the others. Although he made a good attempt to sound different from the original singer, he was trying way too hard to make a good impression. If he had toned down his endnotes variation, it would have been a much enjoyable performance for me. His scores were 7.0 + 6.5 + 5.0 = 18.5. I would have given him a 5.75.
M4 徐彬 除此之外 原唱者：范逸臣
Xu Bin's starting was off-key and he had one of the stiffest stage presence tonight. His voice was not properly emoted at key portions of the song to make the song impressionable and it was a rather bland performance with little variation in emoting the song. He is easily one of the best-looking contestants around but he needs a lot of work on his singing to make the audience believe in him. His scores were 6.5 + 6.0 + 5.5 = 18.0. I would have given him 5.50.
M5 卓轩正 翅膀 原唱者：林俊杰
Xuan Zheng's eyes were also darting around and his gesticulations were not properly timed with the song lyrics. His emotional grasp of the song was good and his voice was easily one of the best for tonight's contestants. However, his singing was highly specialised in the use of certain parts of the voice-box and sounded too much like the original singer still, which may affect his performances if he chosed non-ballad or non-JJ songs in the future rounds. His scores were 9.0 + 7.5 + 7.5 = 24.0. I would have given him a 7.0.
That's all for now. I have tried to judge the contestants as objectively as I could. Hope those who are interested in singing can learn something fun out of all these.
