    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation* What a beautiful performance MaKenzie! I liked this better than your last performance. I love how you kept it original and simple at the start then went to reach the high notes at the second half of the performance. You brought us to church girl! Just keep it up honey. SCORE: 3.5/5 MaKenzie that was a beautiful performance! The way how you displayed your vocals while playing an instrument? What a talented gal! I love that opening keys from you. Those runs you did, girl that really is your signature. I love your tone in this performance! It felt heartfelt for me. However, I was not hooked into the performance until the chorus, I suggest to give it equal emphasis to all parts of the song next time you'll perform. Keep it up MaKenzie! SCORE: 3.0/5 *Stands and Claps* WOW! You really owned this song! I just love your version, it really suits perfect to your voice. Actually, you know what? You made a comeback after your performance last week. Your performance makes me feel there is a music in the air, and those runs you did in the near end is actually heaven! You always slay honey, goodluck and keep performing like this! SCORE: 4.2/5 *stands and claps* What a solid song choice! I love this song so much! I have to say I wish you tackled it a little different as this performance was a little reserved for me, like I wanted you to ATTACK this song with POWER! As I do feel this song requires that power and stage presence to really excel on but that said, this was an interesting take on this song and your voice is still so incredible and I hope IDF sees the tremendous potential you have. SCORE: 3.3/5 Makenzie girl I'm so glad you came back from your near-elimination status! I just loved how you picked this song as we did go back and forth once again, but I think we really found your sweet spot since "Courage" or "Because You Loved Me" I just love the authenticity of your voice, and sis you got some soul in you honey that can't be taught! Makenzie I feel as you are the one who's consistently growing and this performance proved that you never let yourself stay down and you are here to fight for your position. You deserve to be here honey and I will also fight for you as long as you are willing as well, I hope we continue to work together since you are just a vocal beast for sure. Love you Makenzie and good luck! SCORE: N/A (MENTOR)

    Next is the last Girl to perform for tonight, she received mixed feedback last time after her performance of a Christina Aguilera classic. She went into the Bottom 2 and impressed the judges, saving her from elimination. Can she bounce back from her performance last time? 11. MaKenzie Thomas- Purple Rain (Prince)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation* WHAT A PERFORMANCE JAMIE! Boy, you SLAYED that. You brought back the Jamie that we know who can perform as well as deliver vocally good. You are just unstoppable, you can do it all! I love your range, oh man, you just KILLED that. I’m speechless. SCORE: 4.5/5 *standing ovation* If I am being honest, you are a hell of a threat Jamie to other categories, I just think you've been one of the most consistent performers, you never fail to amaze us with your range. And ooh boy that attitude you had while performing was SPOT ON. This is a hard one to sing, you barely have the time to breathe between lines, but you pulled it off, and you even stepped up the notes higher at the near end. You are a star Jamie. SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) *Claps* OMG. I didn’t expect this performance of yours, I really love Ariana Grande and her songs, and it’s kinda hard to sing it honestly. I think your tone is perfect to this song choice, it really suited the theme. Your performance today is actually one of my favorite in yours! I just hope IDF will find this performance interesting. Thank you for this Jamie, I really want to see more of you in this stage. SCORE: 3.2/5 *stands and claps* What an unexpected song choice & IT WORKED! You really know how to make any song your own! This was a really fun performance and I loved the sass and attitude you had in this performance. It was a nice and clean performance and I just loved the whole vibe of it all. Jamie, I have to say, you are slowly becoming one of the most interesting contestants this season because of how you're able to dabble in different genres, amazing! SCORE: 3.2/5 Jamie, I said this before, you have become one of my favorites, but I will say this song choice I don't think showcased what you could have done, and have done in the past. It felt too much like a radio hit, instead of a masterpiece in a vocal performance. Its okay to jam a bit, but this is a competition and while it was technically near-flawless, it was too bland for me and felt like you were just singing a song. But good luck in the votes, I want you to succeed, just learn from this honey. SCORE: 1.9/5

    Next performance for tonight is one of the 2 remaining Underdogs in this competition. He had been deemed as one of the most consistent and versatile artists left on the show, and proved that once again by covering a Demi Lovato song last time. Will he still impress the mentors and the viewers if he go back to his roots tonight? 10. Jamie Miller- 7 Rings (Ariana Grande)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation* ANGIE! What a performance! And what a song darling. I totally LOVED the arrangement that you did with such of a classic song. I love how you kept it simple and subtle at the start but then went for the highs on the 2nd half of the song. This is what I want from you! Keep it up Angie! SCORE: 4.0/5 *standing ovation* Oh girl, SING SING SING! It felt so heartfelt and powerful at the same time. Heartfelt at the start, especially at your acapella part. I can't help but to fall in love with you. This is the one of your BEST performances so far. Amazing job Angie! SCORE: 3.5/5 *Stands and Claps* Angie, your version was just ravishingly good! Actually, this is one of my favorite songs. The transition of yours to your head tone is perfect, I really think you can sing a grocery shopping list and still make it super good! I really connected to your performance today! Thank you for this wonderful moment of yours! Goodluck honey. SCORE: 3.0/5 *STANDING OVATION CRYING AND CLAPS* ANGIE!! This was such a STUNNING vocal! Your voice was so heavenly in this performance! That opening alone, sold it for me! You sang this was such grace and elegance and you really told the story of the song well. You got me all emotional up in here! This was just so beautiful and I am in complete awe of you Angie. Absolutely amazing! SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) Angie this was quite a song for sure, the arrangement was beautiful as well I must say, on-point for sure. Onto the vocals, it was 100% the best of you so far since "Who You Are" This was just stellar and I loved every moment of it, every note felt connective. I do have to point out the off-key notes as the chorus in the middle came in, when that happened, I heard a bit too much shrieking, but otherwise, it was a wonderful piece and you should be proud Angie! SCORE: 2.8/5

    Next to perform for tonight is an artist who received a Soundcloud Bonus Multiplier last time after singing a Celine Dion classic and making it her own. She impressed the viewers and mentors, resulting in many praises for her performance. Will she keep the consistency going tonight? 9. Angie Miller- Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Presley)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation* Slay those vocals Jessica! Ooh that was FIRE. You’ve really made a statement in that performance, it is so powerful and impactful at the same time. Those growls you made were just spot on. However, I think it was a little too much at times, there could have been a more subtle parts. Nevertheless, you’re like one of the most consistent vocalists this season. It’s hard to not see you advance after this performance. SCORE: 3.7/5 Well that was a really strong performance Jessica! Those growls and power you have was just so good. But maybe a little too strong? I felt like there were couple of moments that were oversung, but this song was really almost every single time oversang. You've been one of the most consistent Jessica, but tonight was not it for me, I wish you could have had more control, I do like your desire to win though, shows so much in this performance. I do feel like you showed more passion than some tonight, kudos to you. SCORE: 3.2/5 *Stands and Claps* WOW! You are a living legend girl! This song choice is a risk because it is really hard to sing, but you made it look so easy. That tone when you’re hitting the high notes are actually super great. You really killed this song choice! But, I have one problem on this performance, you were a little bit screamy but who cares though, that is your genre, and I respect it, thank you for this Jessica, hope to see more on you! SCORE: 2.8/5 *stands and claps* Jessica! You are such a force to be reckoned with! Let me tell you my problem though with this performance, there was soooo much oversinging that it started to ruin this performance for me. Like I felt almost every note was oversung, you were trying a little too hard with this song. You normally deliver some vocally perfect performances with oversinging but this performance had too much oversinging so just be weary of that in the future. SCORE: 2.3/5 Jessica you better SANG sis! Okay Jessica I was a bit nervous for how it would be received based on the passion of the runs and maybe how it could have been too much, but you EMBODIED the whole song and made it a FORCE. A masterpiece for sure Jessica, I just truly want the best for you, I just love you so much, I want to keep bragging but we don't need to hear my endless rambles! The vocal was pure and nothing but a flawless performance, that scream note was OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD! Okay I think I'm done lmao, but good luck Jessica and I love you sis! I hope we can continue to work together and I hear you slay in your next round! SCORE: N/A (MENTOR)

    7 down, 7 more to go. Starting off the second half of tonight’s show is an artist from the Girls category. She came out swinging last time again after slaying a Celine Dion hit and received the Mentor’s Immunity. Can she prove herself once again tonight? 8. Jessica Sanchez- It's A Man's Man's Man's World (James Brown)
  12. sydneysam
    Unfortunately, the LIVE performance is BLOCKED on United States, so if you ever want to watch her performance, just use VPN or just search for Brooke Simpson's cover of that song. Meanwhile, to be fair, I have uploaded just the studio version of the song (2nd link) so that will be MY BASIS on the VOTING METHOD. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks!
  13. sydneysam
    That's it. The first half of tonight's performance are DONE. 7 more artists to go. Just let me fix for a few minutes regarding Kennedy Holmes' performance on youtube. Thanks!

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *claps* Oh wow another Lady Gaga song! I would say I don’t mind because I love her songs. I love how you mesh so well together, a perfect fit to each other’s voices. You gave me a lot of chills everytime you sing together. I particularly love Alex’s part here, boy you shine! However, people might get tired if you keep on doing the same thing every week, an advice for you to try to step outside the box because the competition’s growing tighter. Nevertheless, good job and kudos to the both of you! SCORE: 2.0/5 Welp, another Lady Gaga song for the both of ya, I must say I liked this more than your last one, I felt more invested to it emotionally. The technical aspect were on point as usual, Sierra, that bridge crescendo part was just spot on, loved that! You also have really gorgeous harmonies, your voices were like born to mix together so well. One thing I lack though is some originality as I've heard this song lots of times, I somehow expect for you to change something, but still, your performances was undeniably good. SCORE: 3.0/5 *stands, claps, and tears up* THIS. IS. SUPER. GREAT!!! Ugh, I just love the chemistry between you two, both of your voices really puts me in tears. I heard a lot of cover of this song, but I think this cover is one of the best aside from the original. The best part in this performance for me is when both of you start singing together at the chorus, it really gave me chills. I really hope IDF will continue to vote you, cause a couple with a talent like that should not be waste. SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) *standing ovation and throws shoes* WOW! Alex & Sierra, out of all the groups, without a doubt you guys are the most CONSISTENT! Always providing stunning vocals and delivering some really memorable performances. This song choice was perfect for your voices as it just blended together perfectly! You guys both have such great tones and Sierra, those notes you were able to pull off tonight is truly remarkable! SCORE: 4.0/5 Your progression in both of your voices is just amazing! Alex I think we finally found the place where you can strive with your voice, but not to push to where it shouldn't be. Sierra, once again you deliver a stunning masterpiece along with Alex, and yall's connection is pure! This was truly a ball of talent and I feel you guys are coming up to the frontrunner status, cause I don't think you get enough recognition! I'm rooting for you both and just another near-flawless vocal as well! SCORE: 3.5/5

    Seventh performance for tonight is from a lovely duo from the Groups category. They had a beautiful performance once again after performing a Lady Gaga song. They were praised all throughout the competition because of their authenticity, will their authenticity be enough for them again tonight? 7. Alex & Sierra- Shallow (Lady Gaga)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *claps* That was a gorgeous performance Alisan! You kept on proving to us why you deserved the wildcard spot and why you shouldn’t have been let go in the first place. Your performance tonight was good, but if I’m being honest, I want more than good. I’ve heard this song covered a lot in singing shows like these so I was kind of expecting a little different tonight? Although you had an impressive acapella start, I must admit. But, that was probably one of your better performances, so still good job! SCORE: 2.9/5 I personally LOVED that! It wasn't over the top and you let your tone shine at the start. Girl that start ooh chills! I love how you are toning yourself down little by little. I love that growl you have. However, it felt a pretty predictable performance for me? I don't know maybe it's just me. In all fairness to you, what a way to perform that huge song! SCORE: 2.0/5 *stands and claps* Wow, Alisan! You really slayed the song choice. The way you started the song is unbelievable, this performance really flowed super smooth. I’m really out of words after that spectacular performance. Also, I just gotta say you really have a high chance getting safe this week, hmm I think that’s all. Your performance is just perfect! SCORE: 3.3/5 *STANDING OVATION THROWING SHOES AND CLAPS* ALISAN!!! GIRL I AM SHOOK! I mean I always knew you were insanely talented but this is a whole nother level of TALENT!!! The growls??? MY GOD THE GROWLS WERE AMAZING! I love that you keep changing up genres and not staying in a box. It's all about being versatile and your voice is one of the most versatile I've seen. This may be my favorite performance of yours so far. SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) Alisan you are such a fine vocalist and raw artist as well, I definitely heard your fight tonight. I will say this wasn't the perfect song choice for you, I get going outside of your zone, but sometimes you can go to far and accidently crash. The good thing is you knew when to steer away from the heavy road-obstacles and recovered nicely in the chorus and in your higher register. I feel you can for sure do better Alisan, we all want you to thrive, so just take this performance and learn from it. Good luck Alisan. SCORE: 2.4/5

    Next to perform for tonight is an artist from the Over 25’s, she debuted as the wildcard artist last week and slayed her Barbra Streisand cover. She received praises from the mentors and gathered enough votes from the viewers. Will she prove again that she is worthy of that wildcard spot tonight? 6. Alisan Porter- House of the Rising Sun (The Animals)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation* That was such a beautiful performance Sheldon! That was actually nice to see from you, your performances these past few live rounds and past rounds were known to be so intense and always a hundred percent. However, tonight, you just let your emotions shine. That was such a painful song and I am glad you were able to deliver it. I am proud Sheldon! SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) *standing ovation* I love that performance Sheldon! I love the fact that you stepped away from your commonly intense performances, this was like the opposite of it, a heartfelt and sincere one. I actually felt connected with you on that performance, your technical and emotional aspects were near flawless. This song is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I can say that you brought justice to it. I am looking forward to your next performances. SCORE: 4.0/5 *Claps* Well of course, you never failed to impress me. This is absolutely incredible and such a beautiful cover. I love this work Sheldon, stunning voice as always. Actually, this is my first time hearing this song, and I am starting to like it because of you. I just love the fact that you sing a very emotional song and make it even more emotional. Three more word for you, World Class Performer! Thank you for this Sheldon! SCORE: 2.4/5 *claps* Sheldon! It's so nice to see you tackle a slower song as compared to your usual upbeat and dynamic performances. I have to say I did feel this performance was a step backwards though for me as I feel you lost your Sheldon spark in this performance as the performance was a little of a dud for me as it stayed very monotone and didn't have any "shining" moments for me. Vocally clean performance, emotional connection was there but the stage presence just wasn't there completely for me. SCORE: 2.0/5 Sheldon this was an emotional piece from you and I'm glad we heard this from you, cause we know you can sing honey, but I was searching for that connection in the past and finally its been projected! This was just fantastic and you should just feel proud of yourself, great job Sheldon it was amazing throughout! SCORE: 2.8/5
  22. sydneysam
    Fifth performance for tonight is another artist from the Boys category. He had received praises once again after performing a Katy Perry song and made the song his own. He is known to be one of the most consistent artists left on the show, could he keep it up? 5. Sheldon Riley- I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt)

    MENTORS COMMENTARIES *standing ovation and tears up* Oh my gosh, what a performance! I am so happy that you learned to show your emotions more all throughout the live shows. That performance had an impact on me, and it is basically what we need on singing shows like this. To be able to sing it vocally flawlessly is one thing, but to be able to sing it vocally flawlessly while delivering and making us feel the message of the song? That is another thing. Keep it up Kennedy! SCORE: 4.3/5 *standing ovation* GIRRRL SING! I am in tears right now, I really felt the message of that song. It may be overdone on these singing shows, but man you made us feel the message! This will have to be your BEST performance yet. That acapella is fire! It was so tender and soothing to hear. I love how you personally connected to the song, it made the performance more authentic. You are in it to win it! I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR MENTOR!! SLAY GIRL! SCORE: N/A (MENTOR) *stands and slaps* Well of course gurl you slayed the stage AGAIN. I just noticed something, you actually perform different today, I am used in you performing such as party and pop song. Nevertheless, you should continue to pick song choices like this, it really shows how vocally good you are. It really give justice to a voice like yours! This song is full of belting and high notes but I did not heard screamy parts, good job! SCORE: 4.5/5 *standing ovation* Kennedy! THIS is a step in the RIGHT direction! This is the type of songs your voice excels on, not those pop songs. This was such a strong and beautiful showcase of your voice. I loved those little softer moments as I felt your voice was just absolutely stunning during those. This is probably my favorite performance of yours and it was because of your connection to the song together with that incredible control of your vocal instrument. Absolutely phenomenal! SCORE: 4.0/5 Whoa Kennedy! Okay girl, you are just proving me wrong every performance of why I shouldn't have let you go lol. But seriously, I just want to say, this arrangement, was PERFECTION! You knew what to do, you knew to build it up in the acappella verse and even when you went big, you didn't go off the rails and fall. You really connected with this honey and while I think at points it was too much, the soul was there for sure and Kennedy you really are proving yourself as a competitor in this. Well done Kennedy, good luck! SCORE: 3.5/5
  25. sydneysam
    Fourth to perform for tonight is one of the 2 remaining Underdogs this season. She showed her versatility and emotions last week as she tackled and made a Beyonce song her own. Will she go back to her diva route tonight and impress the judges? 4. Kennedy Holmes- Amazing Grace (John Newton)
