1. Jackie easily. Olivia is a talented artist but her tone just does NOT vibe with me at all, a little too whiney for me.
2. Madison takes this by a hair, I felt she was more emotionally connected to the song. Regardless, Kyle was excellent and his opening verse was stunning.
3. Elyscia. Nuff said lol
1. Easily Gene by a lot. He slayed that battle and I loved his vocals. Perfect song choice for him but wrong song for Ronnie. Ronnie did improve a bit and did great for a song out of his comfort zone.
2. Mafe. Rivers has a beautiful tone but is too limited. Mafe's tone is really gorgeous, soft, and powerful at the same time. She could make the finale if she keeps singing like that.
3. Val by a really large margin. RLetto was good but had pitchy moments while Val was pitch perfect throughout and slayed. I loved this song choice for her too. She belongs in the finale and deserves to win the show.
1. Jackie as she really stepped up from her blinds and showed more power. Olivia was good but was outperformed.
2. Madison because I like her unique tone more, but Kyle was really good too.
3. Easily Elyscia by a large margin as I did not like Ashley's high note. I thought Ashley's high note sounded too harsh and sharp. Sounded like she was screaming while Elyscia's high note sounded more natural and buttery like hot cocoa. She also showed more character and stage presence. I felt this song choice was right in Elyscia's wheelhouse and out of Ashley's wheelhouse. Sorry I just don't like Ashley's tone at all.
