Amelia Hammer Harris sang Believer by Imagine Dragons-- Song choice did not excite me nor did her vocals. Katy says she enjoyed it, but wants to see other sides of her. Lionel said the opposite, that he enjoys seeing different sides of her. Luke felt that she faltered in the beginning.
Garrett Jacobs sang Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes-- In theory this should have been a great performance. I loved that he went out there with the guitar but the vocals were strained at best. He has personality in spades but he needs to work on his vocals. Although American Idol is search for a superstar they still need to be able to sing. Lionel advised him to focus on the singing. When he lacks focus, his pitch is off. Luke says he is not the best singer in the competition but he is a heartthrob.
Maddie Poppe sang Brand New Key by Melanie-- Nice vocals, I love the inflections and tone in her voice. However, I cannot stand this song! Katy calls her a star. Lionel believes she is the complete package.
Ada Vox sang Feeling Good by Nina Simone-- She sounded better than anyone else tonight! What a brave performance, the vocals were strong and this song choice was awesome. Katy says you're here to win. Lionel calls her talent grand and says she is a force to be reckoned with.
Caleb Hutchinson sang Die a Happy Man by Thomas Rhett-- This was a good performance, but not his best in my opinion. I think at times, his performances can sound very karaoke. The judges commented on his clear identity, and timelessness.
Effie Passero sang Barracuda by Heart-- Her vocals were a little off, this was an odd song choice too. Her voice cracked near the end. Luke didn't think she commanded the stage but has one of the best voices in the competition. Lionel sees her growth.
Alyssa Raghu sang Stay by Rihanna-- Impressed me more than most people tonight. My fave performance of the night has still been Ada Vox but this is a close second. Luke said, "you didn't have me til tonight". Katy said her tone separates her.
Marcio Donaldson sang Inseparable by Natalie Cole-- The best pure vocal performance, his technique is just flawless. Standing ovation by the judges, totally deserved. That was just so beautiful, and Marcio is in tears. Lionel said Natalie was watching you on that song. Katy said I love you so much and I am so impressed with you, so proud of you, you are growing so far. Take on the posture of your power, you've got it. Luke called him a survivor, you delivered a world class performance.
Mara Justine sang Run to You by Whitney Houston-- Awesome job! She took the notes, she stood still. She delivered an unreal vocal performance. Luke said you just showed a whole other side of what you can do. Katy called her versatile, you've taken our advice and applied it. It's so nice to see something that is so much in it's original state. Lionel said he used to run back and forth on the stage and then someone gave him the advice to stand still and when he did, the people came to him.
Jurnee sang Flashlight by Jessie J-- Beautiful song choice that matched her vocal ability. It's so effortless. Katy said you're so good and you felt parts of that song, but sing me something that brings me to my knees. Lionel said you're talented beyond your age. Luke said she makes it look effortless. Katy said she was given some advice one, and it was the longest journey you'll ever take is from your head to your heart, connect them.
Shannon O'Hara sang All I Ask by Adele-- Shannon's voice is timeless, what a beautiful delivery. Lionel thought she did great. Luke said you've always delivered since the first time we saw you. You're growing. Katy loved the song choice, be you, you're versatile. We need to see more identity and individuality with everyone.
Ron Bultongez sang Dancing on My Own by Robyn-- Ron is singing one of my fave songs by one of the most underrated artists of all time. Love this. Strong delivery, he was feeling that and so was I. Luke said what I love about your voice is that I feel your hurt and pain. It's the best we've heard you from top to bottom on a song. Lionel said you prove to us that you want this badly. Katy said you're so intelligent and I feel it with your song choice and delivery. You belong here.
My Predictions:
Who is moving forward?
Marcio Donaldson
Mara Justine
Jurnee
Shannon O'Hara
Alyssa Raghu
Ada Vox
Ron Bultongez or Garrett Jacobs
