It's been another fantastic week for SGL, with some truly breathtaking performances. Again making the judges lives a little more than difficult at times, but we love it otherwise we wouldn't keep coming back.

The lovely @zipporah had her selection into the judges on time so her results are included, however this week @joseacabrerav is unable to join us - but I believe he will be back with us next week and we also welcome back the awesome @pechichemena this week! Sorry bout this but simple truth is sometimes life happens and we do what we can, this is all for fun so were trying not to take things to seriously.

But be sure to head over and check out @zipporah's reviews when they come out!

"This is a beautiful piece and your performance is excellent...I don't mind the old strings at all.
I also love the sounds of the children playing in the background...excellent ambiance."

@krystle

"Firstly as an Aussie myself I bow down to the master himself Tommy Emmanuel, this is no easy guy to cover. I have to say the ambiance of the background noises really enhanced this performance, the kids voices came in so clear it was like a memory overlay. Just trippy and it creates a really awesome feel to this song, make it feel more nostalgic somehow.

I am a big fan of your sheer obvious skills and I have to say this week you amazed us yet again, your performances are just so bloody brilliant. You never miss a note, go off beat or anything, it's impossible to fault a performance like that and as I said Tommy Emmanuel is one of the best guitarist's I've ever heard.

You absolutely did this song justice and once again had me sitting there in awe just trying to take it all in, but after several listen through's I am still noticing elements and moments that just make it more amazing! I am absolutely adoring your music and I cannot wait to hear more, its always such a thrill <3"

"I absolutely adored this entry, I was so thrilled to see a new collaboration between our amazing artists. You guys did not fail to impress either, overcoming technical difficulties which always seem to pop up when you're trying something awesome.

Now I simply must say I love this song and it has been so long since I've heard it, whats more it's the first time I've heard it in Spanish as well. So it was new but familiar and you guys just committed 100% and it was really refreshing to see and hear.

@exoelias you have such an amazing voice, such deep and full sound. A beautiful feel and natural texture, its so warm and inviting just fantastic on every level. Then of course a stunning contrast with @eugelys sweet high notes, just an amazing effort from you both and resulting in such a stunning beautiful performance.

An all round amazing effort, fantastic idea and brilliant execution. I am so thrilled to have heard this and for it to be a part of SGL, it's also really exciting to see our musicians working with each other - this is a contest mostly in name and you guys are a perfect example of this <3"

"@eugelys you are just smashing it in SGL lately, you have this intense light that is transferred into your music and makes it infectious. I absolutely adore those harmonies, what a stunning addition to your performance this week. Yet again showing your skills in their best light, with an amazing original composition.

I am loving your original music, there is something to music made by you specifically for you. You can structure things in a way to highlight your best abilities and more making it so it works while you do this, it takes skill especially incorporating it so well.

I am surprised how many originals you have up your sleeves :D but I am very happy that you continue to share them with us, just amazing songs with fantastic performances. I love your vocals, your voice has such a light and happy feel with this song I just can't get enough and as always I really look forward to seeing more and soon <3"
