This is actually one of the hardest seasons to select cause I enjoy all of them to some extent. But if I had to pick five Id go with Nathan obviously, Tae, Maddi, Madison, and Bryan. But the other four are very talented too
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?
