For one thing, this song is way too large for her.
Sure, his voice is a little generic, but he does know how to use it.
And thats exactly what she does.

Dylan HartiganCome Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams
This is a gutsy song selection to say the least.
KingHome by Marc Broussard
For D.R.
King, too, his performance is made hard to hear by a bombastic band accompaniment.
In theory, its a great idea.
In practice, however, its a mess.
Its a big batch of nope on this one.
Mia BoostromBaby I Love You by Aretha Franklin
Why do some singers insist on making things difficult for themselves?
Its still better than most of what comes before it, but its not her best effort.
Not winning, necessarily, but fine.
Results: Sharane Calister advances to the Top 12.
Prediction: Jackie Verna and Rayshun LaMarr collect themselves to deliver calmer performances next time and get voted through.
Kyla Jade How Great Thou Art
When in doubt, church it out.
Gary EdwardsFinesse by Bruno Mars
Its kind of difficult to get a good read on Gary Edwards.
Either way, its intriguing, so maybe hes doing something right.
Spensha BakerI Still Believe In You by Vince Gill
Sigh.
But this song is country canon, and her take on it is near-butchery in the beginning.
She redeems herself in the chorus, but its not enough to save her this time.
WilkesBrother by NeedtoBreathe
As much as I like Wilkes, he is starting to get a little one-dimensional.
Results: Kyla Jade goes through, easily.
Terrence CunninghamHow Come U Dont Call Me Anymore?
Heres hoping he can find that unicorn of a song that fits him better than this.
Otherwise….????
Christiana Danielle Hey Ya!
It might not be enough tonight, but you have to believe shes come close to earning the votes.
Results: Britton Buchanan joins the Top 12 for Team Alicia.
Prediction: Christiana Danielle and Kelsea Johnson either cancel each other out or both go ahead.
Terrence Cunninghammightsqueak through if he brings it with an inspired song selection next round.
