Danger Zone
This is the round, where if five different auditionees did not sing the selected theme for the Six Chair Challenge, they would end up here, and would have to sing a song chosen by the judges, and if they do good, they move to the next round, and someone who has already got a seat at the sixth chair challenge is going home. If they didn't, the auditionee, is going home themselves.
Like the Six Chair Challenge, the Song Jukebox, will be used to decide what genre of music the contestants will sing.
