6/10 Grace Kinstler - “Happy” (Pharrell)

6/10 Ava August - “City of Stars” (Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling)

5/10 Caleb Kennedy - “On the Road Again” (Willie Nelson)

6/10 Hunter Metts - “Falling Slowly” (Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová)

8/10 Willie Spence - “Stand Up” (Cynthia Erivo)

 

Willie finally picked a perfect song for himself, I mean a very very VERY good choice song for him. This is probably the best performance of the season so far.

 

Really pissed at Ava's elimination, she's better than those people who are put through because they have sausage.

1. Hunter Metts

2. Chayce Beckham

3. Casey Bishop

4. Cassandra Coleman

5. Beane 

6. Ava August

7. Grace Kinstler

8. Madison Watkins

9. Deshawn Goncalves

10. Willie Smith (just not my style)

[CarmenSandiego]

Here’s my rankings of the Top 12 after having watched them on YouTube a couple of times:

 

1.  Casey — I love it when she sings songs like this one!
2.  Willie — great as always.
3.  Alyssa — her best performance since at least the Hollywood duets.
4.  Cassandra — her best and most assured performance yet.
5.  DeShawn — his best performance yet.
6.  Ava — not her best performance but she should have moved on.
7.  Grace — poor song choice but she sang it well and she wasn’t boring.
8.  Hunter — poor guy.  He was actually doing well until he forgot the lyrics near the end.  It happens.
9.  Caleb — this was actually my favorite performance of his, although that doesn’t really say much.
10.  Chayce — bad song choice and a boring performance.
11.  Beane — a very appropriate choice for what turned out to be his final performance.  At least he had a good time.
12.  Madison — Whitney was a bad song choice, especially when she was already on thin ice due to being a Wildcard.
