Episode 217 - Each contestant performs three songs, including a pick from mentor Bobby Bones, a song dedicated to their heroes in honor of Mother's Day and a selection from Elton John's catalog.
Enjoy!

Wade's up first, with Bobby's pick (which Wade didn't like at first): "You Are The Best Thing" which I'm really liking for his voice. I doubt he'd ever have worn a shirt like that in his metal days, lol, but he looks nice tonight.  |

Laci did a very pretty rendition of that song. I didn't know it, The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert, but I liked it. She does have a good voice, and while I don't feel it's strong enough to win, I think she might do okay not winning and have a future in the business.

Alejandro must be a favorite, because the judges continue to fawn over him. The Bob Marley song, No Woman No Cry, was fine, but to me he made it sound like all the other songs he sings.
Bobby's having Laine doing Can't You See by the Marshal Tucker band. Says he has an old soul. No jacket, but he still looks cute! He's wearing some funky pants, and I just love his voice.

I can’t wait to listen to No Woman Don’t Cry tomorrow with headphones. I love what he did with it and love that he gave props to Bob Marley. ❤️

Madison's doing Pink's What About Us? She's definitely talented.
Judges giving her non-helpful comments as usual. Keep on … something. They like her, so lots of positives, but sometimes I wish they'd come up with something useful.

Wade did okay with "Rocket Man" but struggled with a few notes, it seemed. I didn't mind his version of that song, seeing as it's such an iconic song, he had to vary it a little bit.

Laci, Madison, and Alejandro's Elton John songs didn't impress me much. Alejandro's voice was clearer and sounded nicer to me in this song than in the first song he sang tonight, though.
I didn't really remember the song Laine sang, but I liked hearing more of his voice on that one. The silver suit? Whoa. $4000 shoes?? Luke even noted he heard more of his voice, and I agree, it didn't get overshadowed by the music. Katy asked if he's seen a vocal coach! (He said yes.)

Laci's best performance (Dreams- Fleetwood Mac) since "Jackson", imo. Perfect choice for her voice.

I liked Madison's "Make You Feel My Love" the best out of all the songs she sang tonight.
Madison's mom looks so rough tonight, I wonder if she's okay.?

I don't even like the Beatles that much, but I'd listen to Laine sing Beatles songs all day!!  p.s. I'm tired of Lionel saying those are his jackets and has Laine been in his closet. We get it!! |

I like her a lot, but she is so young still and her voice has yet to truly mature, her earlier songs were very evident of that. She has a tremendous talent and I can't wait to see where she is in like 5 year or so. Her other 2 songs she was was having some breathing control issues. Again, that control will come in time if she hones her voice properly.
At this point I see it coming down to Laine and her, and Laine winning.

I will be happy with Laine or Madison. Have to admit Laine is cute as a bug and if I were 40 years younger I could be a fan girl. But I think he should go on Dancing with the Stars next so he could learn how to move a little more!!

I like Laine and Madison the most. Still not on the Alejandro train. All of his songs sound alike to me, and he leans towards a jazzy style that I am just not into. I laughed at maxkl's comment about Laine going on Dancing with the Stars. I wouldn't mind seeing him there. And, actually it would be fun to see Wade on Dancing with the stars too! Stranger things have happened, and I've been surprised at how well the novices have done on the program in previous seasons.

Next week is going to be awesome with everyone’s favorites coming back.
My one wish is that they let Alejandro play on an actual grand piano and not the digital one they’ve been providing. There really is a huge difference in sound.

I liked AA's last two songs better than any he had ever sung.
I just am not a fan of Madison. She does have a great voice but just seems too young to understand it. I don't see her as a pop princess so I am curious if anythhing will happen for her after the show----something that seems more definite for the two men.
I hate how they are dressing and styling her---just too old and sophisticated for her age and looks. I also was shocked at how tired her mother looked last night.....I would have thought she would have been helped in her appearance by the AI staff.

It is down to Madison, Laine and Alejandro.
I saw Alejandro on the local news morning program as part of his hometown week. His hometown, Pomona, is in the Los Angeles broadcast area.
Looking forward to next week.

Looking forward to next week. I just read an article about the preparations in Pomona for Alejandro today. First a parade with the local high school band 😂 then Alejandro is giving a live, outdoor concert. AI told them to expect 8,000 - 10,000 people based on past hometowns... I expect a LOT more. People are seriously obsessed with him. I’d go if I weren’t on the opposite side of the country. |

Loved, loved, what Lane's brother said about being careful where he went as an older brother since he knew Lane would follw those footsteps.... looks like a wonderful family.
