Simon Cowell Gives Advice To Ashes & Arrows

They have been performing some heartfelt songs for the competition, and they have remained strong contenders. Simon told them they should perform something more “uptempo” in their next performance, but they also needed to listen to their fans.

Ashes & Arrows asked their followers to cast their votes and said they would take Simon’s advice on a more uptempo song. However, they struggled in the semifinals when they performed the song meant to get the fans up and singing along.

The judges seemed to like it, though. as Howie Mandel called it the “best act of the night,” and Simon agreed. Sofia Vergara said they looked and sounded great and Heidi Klum called it their best performance. However, there are some thoughts their past performances might have been better.

  1. No – they were eliminated bc the voting is clearly rigged. Every singer bar the one with the sob story and popularity contest winner, was eliminated. So we’ve got a balanced talent show but are they the best acts? No. They’re not.
