"And I'm choosing this person, although I would say they need work on connecting to what they do emotionally," "I still have to base it on vocal performance."

"George, it is time to make your final knockout decision." "There are six fine voices up there." "I don't believe that this is the end, it's the beginning." "So I would encourage you all to carry on doing what you do, go out there and sing and...you know, make people happy, cos that is a good thing to do." "We are all kind of looking for someone who can be a real artist, that can develop and grow and become something unique and..." "..you know, I think that..." "I think I've definitely found it in this person." "So the last person that I am taking through... ..is..." "..Cody." "Cody, congratulations!" "Come on down to George."
