Yup, you're right about that! There is no way I would be able to sit still at one of their concerts. Their performance pulls out all the hype and freakin' keeps you wanting MO'!!! A2 BANGS!!!

[@boostergold9160]

Simon put those two girtls together and that was genius! I would have liked to have seen them win and that would have been really spectacular.

[@inmyopinionwisdom4986]

They may not have "won" the contest, but that doesn't mean they won't get a record deal or something. They definitely have TALENT and know how to entertain! I keep thinking about a few of the American Idol semi-finalists- JENNIFER HUDSON, CLAY AIKEN, ETC. They did "not" win, but went on to do very well for themselves in the entertainment industry. They made records, won awards & accolades, starred in broadway productions and/or movies, etc., etc. But, I admit that I know how you feel. It would have truly been gratifying to see A2 (Acacia & Aaliyah) WIN that thang! ;-D

[@monicakobz5968]

How i wish they won

[@synetrajenkins2943]

They were spectacular together as a duo. Simon did a good thing putting them together.

[@MelinaYuritza]

Wow. Simon made a beast. They totally rock. Hope they get some more recognition, even if they didn't won.

[@tianthee]

Sometimes not winning these things is better... the winner is confined to a contract for the show. At least they can shop around and find a label that will benefit them. Simon will probably sign them anyway.

Individually they had their good points but together they were stellar; a mighty team that would be hard to beat. They definitely complimented & completed each other. Their vocals improved 10 fold by the end of the show; that's teamwork at its best. You could tell there was absolutely no competition between the two of them. Their goal was to bring out the best in each other in order to make a winning team. That to me is glorious.

[@officially_kaekayy2476]

aaliyah gave acacia swag and acacia gave aaliyah stage presence.. simon was on point with them you can tell through process they learned a lot from each other

[@NickPiers]

It's extraordinary - and says something about both of their passions and determination - how they had INSTANT chemistry after only an hour of preparation. Sure they're first time together was awkward, but the chemistry was instantaneous and the crowd saw that. They only improved with every song afterwards. Simon knew exactly what he was doing and it shows exactly why he's in his position. He Frankenstein'd a new, unstoppable music monster.

[@alleycatthemagnificent6847]

They were amazing! But why did they do the same songs a bunch?

[@devj6630]

it was for Bjorn, the original ABBA member and one who wrote or at least co-wrote the song. They did it great and I think he was quite pleased and flattered that new blood covered his music like that. That's the real test of a great song. Would have loved to hear more of this one, tbh.
