Will the top 8 look a lot different than we expected it would last week?
Lets walk through this performance round and make a run at make some predictions, shall we?
Aliyah Moulden(Team Blake): Jealous by Labyrinth
Well, I didnt expectthisto happen.

Not only that, but her emotional connection to the number was something new and very endearing.
Easily,easilyher best showing of the season.
Vanessa Ferguson(Team Alicia): Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill
GIRL.
Holy emcee skills, Vanessa Ferguson.
Alicia Keys is right that this woman can do it all.
What a treat for anyMiseducation of Lauryn Hillfans in the crowd.
impersonation game hes been playing all year.
Hopefully, enough viewers have paid attention to send him through anyway.
In the first half, especially, her voice sounds very pure, almost like Lea Salonga ofAladdinandMulansoundtrack fame.
Hey, maybe theres a future for her in singing for Disney princesses.
Lauren Duski(Team Blake): Tell Me Why by Wynonna Judd
Thats it.
Theres just no way Lauren Duski gets skipped over for finals.
Even with an increase in tempo, her rich tones still come through in full force.
Shes not going anywhere.
Hunter Plake(Team Gwen): Higher Love by Steve Winwood
Agh, Hunter Plake.
Maybe if the arrangement had been moved around or slowed down a bit?
Mine from the Tonic/Matchbox Twenty/Goo Goo Dolls era next time, Gwen!
TSoul(Team Blake): At this Moment by Billy Vera and the Beaters
Okay, TSoul.
As Alicia Keys would (and did) say, I feel you.
Theres something so delightfully undone about TSoul.
But its still one of the more memorable showcases of the night.
Im worried about Chris Blue and Hunter Plake.
Overall, I predict Mark Isaiah and TSoul will end up getting sent home tomorrow night.
