Australias Got Talent series 6 semifinals-Soul Mystique

Australias got Talent is back in full swing, with the final drawing ever closer. Three magic acts made the live shows, but whilst comedy illusionist Pip and mentalist Anthony Laye didn't get through, quick-change duo Soul Mystique made the semifinals.

How Did they do?

Soul Mysique had a burlesque theme for their semi-final performance, and utilised jets of smoke, feathers and clothes racks for their costume changes. Whilst quick change is a pretty narrow field of magic, Soul Mystique's clothes changes were fresh and original. Unlike their equivalents from Americas Got Talent, David and Dania, who essentially repeated their audition performance throughout their run on the show,  Soul Mystique do something different and impressive each time.

What did the judges say?

Danni Minouge called it "Beautiful" and praised Soul Mystique for upping their game. Kyle Sadilands called it "fascinating" and hoped the duo made the final. Todd Mckenney, standing in for judge Brian Mcfadden, said he was "A mad fan", but voiced the only critisism, wondering if the busy nature of the act made some of the changes less spectacular. The performance also went down very well with the audience and host Grant Denyer

What is the competition like?

To reach the final, Soul Mystique will have to beat some tricky opposition. Three acts stood out in particular. Flowers For Midnight did an excellent version of "With a little help from my friends", The Nelson Twins are the funniest comedy act ever seen on Australias Got Talent, and Kookies N Kream could follow in the footsteps of previous champions Justice Crew. The other four acts weren't as good, but have significant fanbases. George and Noriko are a unique east-meets-west guitar act, The Wolfe Brothers sang an original song, Rhys Tolhurst is a young crooner with a strong voice, and Andrew De Silva is a very modern singer-songwriter. Unfortunately for Soul Mystique, this is the stronger of the two semifinals (they are one of six acts in this heat who got through by public vote)

What are their Chances?

Soul Mystique's Chances of reaching the final are only moderate, due to their tricky opposition, but they certainly deserve a place there
