1. Abi Carter - Part of Your World - Perfect song choice for Abi! That was a fantastic performance from her so far. That was far away her best performance of the season and the best performance of the night by a lot. That was excellent! I had chills all over. The way she knows how to connect with the audience is so easy for her. I felt every word. Such a flawless and perfection performance. I am already calling her the winner now. She had the best edit so far tonight.
2. Abi Carter - The Chain - That was a major pimpage from the producers! Perfect song choice for Abi and that arrangement was excellent. This is her top 2 best performances of the season so far. There is nothing I don't like about this. That was flawless! This is how you do your own arrangement and make it work!
3. Jack Blocker - Space Oddity - Loved this song choice for him. He clearly made the song his own and I felt so connected to the performance. Great job.
4. Jack Blocker - Nobody's Fool - I liked the song choice for Jack. He made the song his own, but the dance moves was pretty awkward. I would have preferred if he just stood there with a guitar or just walk around naturally rather than dancing.
5. Will Moseley - Born to Be Wild - This was a better song choice for him. He brought the energy that the song required and did a great job with it. He was rocking out.
6. Will Moseley - Ballad of a Lonesome Cowboy - This was a boring and lame song choice for Will. He had some good moments in the song but I needed more connection.
7. Emmy Russell - Carried Me With You - This was a much better song choice for her. I think she did a solid job with it but needed more moments in the song. Definitely a better performance than her first one. She should be proud of herself for making the top 5.
8. Emmy Russell - The Climb - I love Emmy but this song choice wasn't the right song for her. This song requires high notes and Emmy is not a belter. This was her weakest so far.
9. Triston Harper - Almost There - Weird song choice for Triston. This also didn't work for me but it was better than his second performance. Still not good though. He had a few seconds of good parts at the beginning, but he fell apart after that for the rest of the song.
10. Triston Harper - Life is a Highway - This was the wrong song for him as he didn't have the range or the vocals for the song. It just didn't work for me. He has a fantastic tone, but after Heartbreak Hotel he became inconsistent and downhill. What happened to him being super consistent?
Triston constantly saying “Roll Tide” alienates everyone in SEC country who isn’t an Alabama fan. Even in his own state, there are a lot of Auburn fans who hate Alabama.
