Pier and the Dreamacha Choir are passionate about music and sharing the music.
Judges Comments: Sofia: “This was another unexpected thing today. I thought it was going to be super boring and I was deading it.” Simon: “You won’t be singing ‘Oh Happy Day’ will you? It was like demons in a choir singing the Omen, then going into Britney Spears, it was fantastically creepy but I like going over to the dark side occasionally, so I get it.” Heidi: “I didn’t particularly love it, I don’t think people will buy tickets to see it.” Howie: “I didn’t even know you existed and I loved it.”
Heidi says no, and the others say yes so the metal choir is going to the next round.
