The Top 10 sing songs that remind them of Home
Louis Knight sang In My Place by Coldplay-- Katy thought it was commendable for him to lean into his roots, he made he escape to a better time. Luke loved his star quality, and wasn't necessarily blown away by the performance. I actually disagree with Luke, I loved this performance for exactly the reason Katy said, he taps into his roots. Any time you as a performer directly relate with a song, you're good to go. He connected and we as an audience felt that.
Julia Gargano sang New York State of Mind by Billy Joel-- Lionel said she took Billy Joel's song and made it her own, it was memorable. Luke and Katy said it was one of the performance's of the season. Again, she clearly connected with the song and that's why it was amazing. Her approach was genuine and sincere.
Jovin Webb sang Voodoo by Allen Stone-- Katy said I was in a bar in Nola having an extra dirty martini. Luke said you haven't always been on pitch but there is such a believe-ability. However, Luke said tonight he was not off key once! Jovin just has such a vibe. His style is original, he's not trying to be like anyone else and it is so authentic and original.
Grace Leer sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland-- Katy calls is big and bolg. Lionel reminds her if she is country to stay in her lane. Obviously she sang a memorable BIG song. It always touches me. However, I wasn't blown away by this if I am being honest.
Jonny West sang Faithfully by Journey-- Luke said you stay within your style and can sing anything. Lionel said you've gone from a shy guy to a sexy guy. You made it your own. Katy said it's beautiful to see the life you're building. I wanna go see your show. That was so effortless.
Sophia James sang In My Room by The Beach Boys-- Lionel said I love your delivery from top to bottom. Katy said it was so upper echelon, you really brought it with your interpretation of that song. Luke said I find myself immersed in emotion. Oh my gosh, that was so moving, it was dreamlike. Sophia has this ability to tell a story and make you follow and be completely pulled in.
Arthur Gunn sang Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver-- Katy said he connected with her and the audience. Luke said that was a classic song to take on and put his spin on it. Lionel said you took John Denver's song and put a reggae twist on it, and it was good. Arthur has a way of making something his own, but the song doesn't lose it's meaning. It seemed like a far jump from country to reggae but he made it seamless.
Just Sam sang Grandma's Hands by Bill Withers-- Luke said the richness and how your voice holds at all levels is really what makes you, you. Katy said the performance reminded her of being in church. The song was appropriate for her. I don't know if it will be enough to get her into the top seven. The performances tonight have been amazing.
Dillon James sang Yesterday by The Beatles-- Katy told him that he needed to give more breath to his performance. Luke said relax the lyrics and let them flow. Dillon is certainly an original artist but for some reason, he made that too quick tempo wise. When I think about covers of "Yesterday", I think of Boyz II Men and how they really gave that song a modern spin with a different life without losing the meaning.
Francisco Martin sang Falling Like the Stars by James Arthur-- Katy is pretending to cry. Katy said she believed it and felt it. Luke said you're a diamond in the rough. Lionel said you are a true talent. Francisco is one of my favorite contestants this season. He really touches my heart with every single song, and he always seems to pick things that fit him just so beautifully.
The judges elected to use the only save of the season tonight and they used it on Makayla Phillips. And why wouldn't they, she is amazing.
Makayla Phillips sang The House that Built Me by Miranda Lambert-- Luke said we fought for you because of the voice we have heard throughout the audition process. Lionel said you're a star. Katy said I felt like you were singing directly to me, you showed growth from last week. I am shocked the judges had to use a save on her. She is phenomenal! This was a stunning vocal performance.
My top seven (these are just predictions!)---
Louis
Julia
Jovin
Sophia
Arthur
Francisco
Makayla
