As for the other two… Well, they did what they could.
Because if so, Billy Gilman is it.
Its theatrical without being over-the-top, serene without being boring, and emotional without being preachy.

A really, really good start for Billys homestretch.
Once again, hes a carbon copy of just about everything youve ever heard on the radio before.
As for his voice?
Even when they do, neither sound controlled or at all into the song.
It might just be a production sound-mixing issue to blame, but this song does We no favors tonight.
Why did this happen?
Was there nothing else left for these two supreme sopranos to play with together?
NEXT: Last call…
Jack & Diane by John Mellencamp
You know what?
Its nothing to write home about, exactly, but thats never really been Joshs forte.
He does nothing to hurt himself in this performance, lets just put it that way.
He certainly does have that intangible genre-bending quality about him that makes this song a surprisingly nice fit.
Because of Me by Maroon 5
Welp.
Its too bad he didnt get through this one first and end on the opening song instead.
Dont be surprised to see her on Broadway someday.
Is it a winning performance?
But, hey, maybe some stage producers will want to book her after this is done.
Prediction:
Billy Gilmans first piece was masterful, but everything else was kind of a letdown.
Meanwhile, Sundance Head was a full-package performer tonight and couldve easily impressed the socks off of everyone listening.
Billy has the momentum, but Sundance has the power factor in his corner.
