Hello! Welcome to WEEK 9! We are so close to the finale! Only 3 more eliminations to go!
This week, the contestants had to take on 2 songs, a song from the Year they were Born, and a Beatles Song! This week, they will sing back to back, both songs! So let's start!
Starting the show is Kristy Lee Cook.
Judge Casey: With both your performances, I think this was your best week! You stepped it up being the first to perform and this week I thought you really shone! Keep it like this till the end and you'll be a threat.
Judge Christian: I loved your first song, I thought you did GREAT! These are the types of performances we should have been seeing for the last few weeks. But is it enough at this point, I am not sure. However, I do not feel you did as well on the second song. It just did not feel like you. Overall, I would give you a 6/10. Sorry
Now Alexandra Burke will take the stage.
Judge Casey: I thought it was a great song choice for the birth song but I think your beatles song was just ok. A little on the fence with it. But overall, a good performance.
Judge Christian: Great song choice for the first song! I think you did great! It was very good! Nice nice nice! I LOVED YOUR SECOND SONG CHOICE!!! You rocked it! My gosh! This has been your best performance off the game! Great night, 9.5/10!
Smack dab in the middle is John Mayer.
Judge Christian: I think you did good! I love this upbeat night! It is great! But your performance was ok. I mean, its hard to beat Rod Stewart. I loved your second song! its sensual, but not overt. Your performance was great! This has been the best week so far!
Judge Casey: Your birth song I thought was ok. It was a fine performance but nothing special about it. As for your Beatles song, I really enjoyed it and I think that was one of the top performances tonight!
Pink is up fourth tonight.
Name: Pink
Song: Don't Cry Outloud
Year(for Year you were Born): 1979_
Original Artist: Melissa Manchester
Reason for Choosing Song: I chose this song because I wanted all my fans to know that I am able to sing slow and wonderful songs.
Song: Lovely Rita
Original Artist: The Beatles
Reason for Choosing Song: I chose this song because it is one of my all time favorites from the Beatles. Everyone has to love them!
Judge Casey: Its sort of a flip-flop here. The slow song I dont think was really your thing. Your a great singer but I think you moved to a slow song a little to fast. It was nice but didnt wow me at all. But your beatles song...That was great! You did a great job projecting it! Your vocals were right on pitch! That definitly makes up for your first performance.
Judge Christian: I disagree with Casey about your first song. I think you did GREAT!!!! it fits you and who you are as an artist, and that is important when picking songs. I thought you were a but weaker on your Beatle's song. Good job over all!
Finally up is Yulia Volkova.
Judge Casey: Last but not least Yulia. I thought like the last fews birth songs, It was ok. It did fit your range abit more then other songs you've performed but I didnt see anything special about it...But your Beatles song was pretty good. I liked that you said you want to start a revolution. Your clearly one of the underdogs here cause you didnt have the best weeks at the start. But I think you've begun to step it up. You just need to step it up a little more to be at the level of the other singers.
Judge Christian: Great job on your first song! You did very well, just up to par! Nothing above though. LOL I dont think you need a revolution, your a front runner! And you did on this song!
I feel EVERYONE had a good week, if not GREAT one!
That concludes this show! You have 24 hours to vote! You can only choose 1 person, and the Poll closes TOMORROW, at 9:00 EST!
