I was glad Tristen went through! And the video from Adam Lambert was cool. Tristen's got a good voice, and when he calms down and uses it, he's really good.
Down to the top 11 tonight - yikes, that seems fast.
I'm still liking Nicolina a lot, Fritz did well, Noah and Christian sounded good too. But I thought Ava Maybee was awesome tonight, too bad she got cut. I understood why Allegra and Dan were sent home, even though they sang well tonight.

I thought Gabby was totally unrecognizable as the girl who was on AI years ago. I don't know why they used those stupid stools....she looked very uncomfortable sitting there. She was a great mentor.
Nobody is going home from tis group because they weren't good....everybody is doing a great job, but somebody has to leave. So far my favs are hanging on.

I wonder how much Tristan’s jacket had to do with him going through. I was mesmerized by it. 😄👁👁
Is there just one more week?

Young guy Noah obviously doesn't know about Katy's love life history!  She chose a John Denver song, both of the other judges chose John Mayer, and Noah guessedthat Katy gave him a John Mayer song. She says, "I think you should Wikipedia me." She could barely say anything! It was pretty funny. That said, I didn't think his version of the song he sang was that great.... |

Wow, there were so many great performances tonight, and so many surprises for me. People I usually didn't like were amazing, and a couple that I usually like were just so-so. I just loved Jay's song - it was beautifully done. So, so good. Leah even impressed me tonight. I loved her song and the way she sang it! When she's in rehearsal, I dislike her voice. Then she gets on stage and Wow. Nicolina of course was great. I even liked Huntergirl doing Dolly! I don't even really like Huntergirl usually, but it was good. Emyrson was good too. I didn't throw any votes her way, but she did a good job tonight! Tristen was too much. I like his voice, I like how he's different and not country, but that performance was over the top and distracted from his talent. He's only 17 so I guess that's what happens.... I loved Lady K's performance tonight too. So much talent! Next week they're going to Disney. Well, 9 of them are. Everyone but: Tristen and Lady K boo  Ooo, the judges get to save one of them, for winning their "contest" making the top 10! They save Lady K! |

I’m sad for Tristan, but you’re right. His youth overtook everything the judges had warned him about from the beginning.

I thought the judges did well with their song choices so the program was enjoyable. However, I am a bit concerned that I don't recall ryan saying " in no particular order" when he made his announcement. This is alarming for 2 reasons. The first is that the three young men who were saved were among the last four called and one of them was sent home...the second of two saves gone. The second reason I am alarmed is that Noah was called first. While a pleasant young man with a pleasant voice, he certainly should not be anywhere near the top in voting.

I’m pretty sure Ryan said in no particular order.

I hope so and I just missed it as I did not like the order in which they were announced.

I enjoyed the contest with the judges in this episode.. it was corny but fun. I will say this, I can see why some of the songs were picked by the judges and in many cases I'm sad the contestants did not pick some of them. I know I am not saying that correctly, lol. I guess I mean that in cases like Tristan and Hunter they had 2 amazing songs that they did not pick or did not stick with but could have been a much better choice in the end to showcase something different from each of them. Both of the choices they went with in the end were safe, and all in all really did little to offer us anything new from either of them. However, I Want It All for Tristan and Here You Come Again for Hunter would have shown more range and not keep them in the slow lane. On the flip side, Jay's version of Lilac Wine was like wow! The choice by Katy was inspired, and I am happy to see he took that leap... it showed me a bit more of Jay but I still think he needs to go to Broadway, it is built for it all around.. and I mean that in the BEST WAY.
Nicolina is still top 5 for me but I did not enjoy her take on Kelly's song. I hate this back and forth with the judges "show us wo you are as an artist" and then out of the other side of their mouth "think out of the box." Nic has a voice that is amazing, but its not a rocker type voice. Celine Dion never did well in rock type songs.. if it is not broke, don't break it and try to piece it back together. Let this girl sing what she sings best, she can show her range and control and still make a song her own. Im sorry I did not feel it was a good choice by Lionel or her for picking it. She looked amazing though, she really is beautiful!
Noah, I have nothing on him.. I don't know why he is still there.. sigh. Nice guy, cute baby, but out of his league now.
Tristan was just too much on that song, he picked a safe song, played around on stage and lost it for himself. Sad he will be going because I liked him but his days were coming to an end. He went out like a pro, and had a great time.. and I'm happy for him. He has a TON of talent, need to refine and harness it and we will see him again somewhere I am sure.
Hunter needs to step it up a bit IMO. She is starting to be soooo repetitive. Her movements, he tone, her facial expressions, even the way she stands... all the same from week to week. She has a good voice and can work a crowd but I think we have seen all she has to show at this point, she not giving anything new.
Emyrson sang Billie, I love Billie, Lovely is maybe my second or third fave song of hers (Ocean Eyes is my first) I have a feeling that Billie will become my new Janis as far as AI goes.. you need to sing in a way that connects you to the song like Billie does.. she's not a power voice but she has such a unique delivery of her songs you feel it in a different way. Few can do the same, as much as I (want to) like her Emyrson does give it a good try because of her own style, but does fall short for me. I like her because she is different from the majority but I am not sure it is enough with Fritz and Leah around.
Lady K. I am not sure what to say here, she has a good voice but it is nothing special in the bigger picture. She misses words a lot in her songs (could be nerves but this level you need to be on point). I am actually torn on her save, maybe it should have gone to the kid.. he has more to give IMO.
Mike's choice to sing a Morgan Wallen song a little shocking and the fact it was even a choice given his past headlines made it more so. Sadly it was not a BAD pick for him all Morgan controversy and the off key moments side. I think Mike needed a bit more time with the song but his voice, in the on key parts, was good. I still like him and his soulful country blend he has going but I know his days are numbered too. he does have such a nice smile tho lol
Christian was solid. I have him in the middle however. I like him a lot but I feel there's more in there fighting to get out but he doesn't know how to let it go.
Fritz and Leah did well, but I don't think they were deserving of ALL the gushing by the judges. They are both still way ahead of the pack overall but all I can say is I did enjoy them both but that is it this week.
For me the big winner this week was Jay. I also think Noah is taking up Ava or Allegra's rightful spot but given who is still left they would be leaving in the next week or two anyway.
