“I Wanna Dance With Somebody” – Whitney Houston

• I recorded that great song with the great Whitney… tall order, but.. you showed and proved you should be here – Randy
• You nailed it! You really nailed it! – Paul
• I’m not quite so enthusiastic. At best, it was second rate – Simon
• No Pitch Patrol from Randy – Ryan

Kady Malloy

“Who Wants To Live Forever” – Queen

Embarrassing Moment: Bombed on Christina and did the classic speaker feedback…

Um, I say this every time, don’t the contestants know Queen songs are some of the most difficult song choices? This piece has some difficult transitions! The slower tempo also makes any pitch problems noticeable. A double-whammy to overcome… let’s see what the judges say…

• You hit the big notes well, but didn’t support the smaller notes – Randy
• To date, best performance – Paula
• Definitely better than last week, but I’m having issues with your massive lack of personality… I got no emotion out of this – Simon

Amanda Overton

“I Hate Myself For Loving You” – Joan Jett

Embarrassing moment: Fireplace on deck… burned down a pool. Burned down a pool?!

• Now that’s the Amanda we loved when we first saw her… well done, baby – Randy
• When you pick the right song, you’ve found your niche – Paula
• If I’m being honest, I thought it was fantastic. I thought you absolutely nailed that song, it was the perfect It was one of my favorite girl performances of this part of the show – Simon

Carly Smithson

“I Drove All Night” - Celine

Embarrassing Moment: got leg stuck in railing while on break from work. greased

• Yo Carly, you keep smashing it. Very very good. Another great performance – Randy
• You are like a dependable dog… I think you’re totally into your niche.
• I don’t think you chose the right song… sorry… I just didn’t like it. It’s just not a great song… you’re a million times better than that song – Simon
• She still sang it well – Randy

Kristy Lee Cook

“Faithfully” – Journey

Embarrassing Moment: 7 years old – used to pretend she was a dog, pet rats, water bowl, she thought she was a dog

I can’t believe I still remember this song word for word. Great song.

• Dogs. and Journey. I love this girl…. great song, great band. What was cool, you put a country spin to it – Randy
• That could be a hit for you in country music. I have nothing but positivity for you – Paula

Ramiele Malubay

“Take a Look at Me Now” - Phil Collins

Embarrassing Moment: 5th grade, dropped off picture

• Another big song… Come on wit it – Randy

• Because you’re so little and cute, it was good. But it was very old fashioned… predictable – Simon

Brooke White

“Love is a Battlefield” – Pat Benatar

Embarrassing Moment: Hugged a strange man

Love the acoustic guitar – you can really focus on her voice (I typed that before Randy said the same lol). Emotion and conviction in her face made this such a great performance.

• I don’t know that you brought anything new to that song – Randy
• I thought it was a very wise choice. I like the fact that it was very pure… -Paula
