News: Preview the first live show on Sat 10 Jan

The Twins and Jade performing live on Saturday.

Two of our acts have been sharing their thoughts about the first live show on 10th January, in which Damien became the first act to leave Your Country Needs You.

The Twins revealed they were still very excited from the experience of performing live on Saturday, saying "Walking onto the first live show was amazing... When cameras are there - you know you're singing out to everyone at home."

They seemed very happy with the judges' comments despite being very nervous about making mistakes during the show, and added that having each other was a great comfort as they can rely upon one another.

Jade was modest in her interview and confided that in order to improve her performance she has become her harshest critic. Reflecting on the judges' glowing remarks she said: 'To be referred to as the new Beyonce by Arlene was incredible - at least I can tell my mum that!'

Speaking of being thrown in the deep end on Saturday by performing a song-and-dance routine Jade confided: "you try to remember everything everyone says, but in the end you just forget and have fun."

However, Damien's exit on Saturday has made Jade aware that she cannot afford to be complacent: "I never want to regret not giving my all in a performance - I've got to prove to the audience in those two minutes that I'm capable of taking on this challenge."

Jade finds it funny that people think of her as a sex symbol because at school she was known as the 'lanky, skinny one.' She's therefore looking to show a different side to her personality this week in order to showcase the diversity of her talent; saying "I don't need sparkly lights and a sparkly dress!".

All the acts know they will have to step it up a gear this week as they look to secure their place in the next round of 'Your Country Needs You'.
