Jack: *Standing Ovation* This was incredible I have to say but honestly I feel that this was used way too early as this is probably one of your best and at top 16 it seems to good! I absolutely love your arrangement of the song and you brought a really strong emotional performance to the competition. You came out here with a bang, I just hope you can sustain it!
Michael: What an amazing way to start the lives! Going first tonight isn't gonna help with the voting but I believe this performance is so strong that its gonna stand out enough by the end of the night that we will see you again next week. You elevated this song tonight and showed everyone why I brought you here! Fantastic job!
Sea: A very nice voice indeed ;) The powerful notes towards the end were something I really needed to raise an eyebrow at, HUGE PROPS TO YOU FOR THAT! Starting the night off strong, and I'm fairly sure this won't be your last week in this competition!
Shanna: SING Candice!
One of my favorite tracks from Rihanna. And I love your rendition of it. You made it much more emotional and it made me connect with you right away. You look & sound like a major superstar tonight. Usually this is a very hard track to cover but you did it with such ease. After this performance girl I WANT YOU TO STAY AND SLAY ANOTHER DAY! :)
Jack: *Standing Ovation* This is such a big song and to perform it so early is so impressive of you! I think your lower voice is surprising but honestly it works so bloody well with the song because it makes the song sound so passionate but you are then not restricted to the lower notes as you proved that today.
Michael: Incredible as always. You honestly can't do wrong with it comes to singing. Still upset I couldn't get you on my team but glad you are apart of the season. Kind of glad you got this performance out of the way because yes its amazing but definitely one of your weaker ones personally anyways. Definitely enough to move on tho!
Sea: I mean, really, KING OF THE HIGH NOTES! Truly spectacular, as always...I AM IN AWE! And if THIS is what you're using at the top 16, things can only get better as this show progresses! SPEC-TAC-U-LAR!
Shanna: Dimash, I was very hesitant at first glance seeing you were taking on one of the most Iconic and hardest tracks to perform. I love the build up to you blowing off the roof with your vocals. For the first part I was waiting and waiting for you to really get there but wow, When you did my mind was BLOWN!
And then you ended it with your soft vocals and it really showed me that you have SO much control over your vocals. I was thoroughly surprised by you tonight! Keep slaying Dimash :)
Jack: *STANDING OVATION* Sam this was absolutely beautiful tonight and I am in love with your voice at the moment and honestly this song was perfect and I am so glad you chose to sing it because it just works so well! I think everything you perform will be amazing but there was something really special with this performance tonight! I can't wait to see you in the top 13 because I have no doubt about it today!
Michael: Honestly forgot you were in the lives but very happy to see you here because I just love your voice. You just have one of those voices that I could just listen to it forever. I actually really liked this performance from you and if this is just the beginning for the lives I can't wait to see what else you bring to the season!
Sea: YOUR IN THIS SEASON??? SINCE WHEN??? Sorry, that was not a joke LMFAO I genuinely forgot you were here. Onto this performance...YASSS! The high notes were pretty damn good, it sure doesn't get much better than that! Considering I forgot about you, this was a really strong performance that I have to say I enjoyed quite a bit! Good work!
Shanna: OH SAM!
You are one of the frontrunners this season. You could easily take this entire competition by storm with performances like this. This is one of my favorite tracks from your discography. There is just something about the lyrics that really moves me and tbh this live version is SO MUCH better than the studio recording. This was a lovely performance Sam :)
Jack: *Claps* Janice I really love your voice but I don't feel this was the best song choice for you as I felt like it restricted you to what I know you can do. Your voice was stunning but I felt like there was so much more you can do which you have proved in your previous performances.
Michael: Dang its been awhile the last time I heard your voice and just so refreshing to listen to. This performance was a journey that I have happy to be apart of. I could very well see you being the dark horse of the season especially with a voice like that! Fantastic job!
Sea: Along with Sam I also forgot you were here, WHOOPS! This was emotional, and honestly really something I get behind! This wasn't "usual" if you'd like for this show, but that's good, because it makes it more memorable! I really do stan this one, good job ;)
Shanna: OH JANICE! You brought ALL the emotions tonight.
Your vocals flowed perfectly throughout this performance. I applaud you for choosing an original track rather than one of your Voice performances. I FELT everything you displayed for us tonight. This might have been a big risk using this performance when we are having a triple elimination but DAYUM! I couldn鈥檛 have asked for a better original performance from you than this one. I had NO idea about this performance until you told me about it and when I first heard it I was FLOORED! You are and will forever be a QUEEN! :)
