1. Both excellent performances, i dont know if anyone got the same vibe, but Asher's version felt like "unbreak my heart, or else" while Desz was more of a pleading, which is more in line with the original meaning of the song. In the end, very slight edge for Desz. Since I felt like every vocal choice served the song. But I do think Asher's was more of a vocal moment.
2. Noah Spencer
Kyle was solid, but it was a rather tame, unemotional version that lacked oomph, which this song kinda needs. Noah's raw voice and delivery just expresses the particular emotion of this song better imo.
3. Jake Hoot
Jake just gave a more clean, precise vocal all around tbh. Meanwhile, the Josh and Donny battle, while a perfectly fine vocal, felt like pops singing with his less experienced son..
