Jack: *Standing Ovation* Honestly I love when you sing anything because you have such a calming tone which is so calming and so wonderful to listen to. In the best way possible way I nearly fell asleep because you are so soothing! This was an incredible song choice for you because you didn't go the usual place with the song choice but you build with it!
Michael: Beautiful. Its very risky going with a song like this and its definitely overplayed on shows but you absolutely do it right. Not to much and not to little. Just right. This is just the beginning for you and can't wait to show the coaches what else you have in store. Your best performance since your audition!
Sea: You have a really pretty voice, and this was adorable to listen to, but for me felt a bit oversung. You tried a bit too hard to show off you range I feel, which is always your downfall for me. Still, this was really pretty, and I'd be very pleased to see you in the Top 13!
Shanna: YAS! I am SO happy to see you here in the live show Tori! I knew this would be getting submitted this round. Definitely my favorite performance from you of all time! It truly takes a very gifted singer to tackle this track. Honestly one of the BEST covers ever. Your vocals pack a powerful punch and you showed major vocal control tonight because I KNOW you can BELT so to save it for the later half of the performance was very smart. This was an absolutely gorgeous cover tori :)
Jack: I see you again I see! I don't know what it is with you guys but you are either a hit or miss for me with your song choices. And I have to say this was a kinda miss. I liked the song choice but I just don't enjoy your voices as I feel in some places they are all over the place and I know I will get hated for this but oh well! You gradually got better but I wanted more.
Michael: We love talented women who know how to play instruments! So glad you made it to the lives because it seems like you gals always get so close to it. Obviously you guys kill it in the harmonies and bring vocals beyond vocals every time I see you. Excited to see what else you have to show!
Sea: This was very fun! You both showed your individual talents here and I really appreciate that! This is also very different to everything else in this competition, and really, I am very pleased to see you going with something so unique, REALLY good job!
Shanna:OMG when the performance started it was so SICK.
I am a sucker for instruments and the rock vibe I was getting from y’all was ICONIC. Once the singing started I was a little thrown off. Ngl I have seen/heard better from y’all than this. I totally respect the artistry here but for some reason I just wasn’t as impressed as I have been from y’all in this competition.
I hope y’all can get another chance to prove me wrong because I know exactly what y’all are capable of. Good luck ladies :)
Jack: *Standing Ovation* Performing an upbeat song is a struggle some times with some of these judges but honestly I was bopping throughout and in my eyes your voice is incredible as you had an upbeat song but you was able to still include the elements of strength which I am so glad to hear! You are very unique in my eyes and I can't fault you!
Michael: YOU BETTER SING JOJO! Why are you not on my team! This is such a vibe and love the little choreo you had with this performance. You honestly killed this performance and you're exactly everything we are looking for with this show. You are gonna be very tough to beat later on!
Sea: Oof, so to tell you the truth, this did absolutely nothing for me. You have so many good options, and really, this was just a miss :( The rapping segment is not it for me, and your vocals were solid, but this song choice also really kills your voice's potential, which I find interesting. While you won't be very high for me, the other judges will probably like you so I do see you being fairly safe, good luck!
Shanna: YAS JOJO!
I was LIVING for this performance. I love the YEE at the beginning of the performance! You showed UP. Showing us you can sing while dancing. Your ovclas were impeccable and I was not expecting you to put on such a show for us tonight but YAS I was thoroughly entertained by you tonight. You had me vibing along with you the entire time. Great work tonight JoJo :)
Jack: *Standing Ovation* Oh wow! Kyla you really left no crumbs tonight and honestly the person after you must be shaking after hearing your voice because those low notes I died for and you really went for it tonight with an incredible song choice. I think that helped you the most because it works so well for your voice which I am glad to hear as you was able to build on the song throughout, making for an incredible showing!
Michael: This was definitely an interesting choice for sure. I think you have a great voice and the deeper the better but I think the song choice was a miss. Done wrong and the song gets to boring. Nothing really special happened that had you stand out in a good way. If you do stay I really hope you bring it next week!
Sea: Yasss, very gospell-ey! This had some really positive vibes, and mixed with the power, delivered a truly quite fun and entertaining performance! Not the vocals of the night, but certainly a strong start to the lives for you!
Shanna: YAS MA’AM! You just took us to CHURCH!
I usually don’t connect with gospel music but you SHOOK the hell outta me tonight. You made me believe every single word you were singing. I could tell you got super emotional during this performance which made it even more enjoyable to watch. I am not a big believer but DAYUM you could convert someone with those vocals of yours. This was so entertaining to watch and you almost got me emotional seeing how emotional you got. You truly touched my soul tonight. Great work Kyla :)
Jack: *Standing Ovation* I was not expecting you to go so hard with this performance tonight Kym! I think you really went for it and I am so happy with the song choice because it's such a versatile song which can be performed in different ways. I am very impressed.
Michael: Beautifully done tonight! Just realized two of my acts went with Rihanna tracks. I think you showed something different tonight with the coaches. I knew I made the right call bringing you to the lives and its just the beginning for you this season. Fantastic job!
Sea: Ok, so I think people will be fast to compare you with Kyla for being back-to-back with quite powerful voices, and for me, you outdid her tonight. The power in your voice was STUNNING, and this was really the kind of performance I was hoping you'd use this week! Overall, one of my favorites of the night so far. Good work :)
Shanna: YAS! Another gorgeous Rihanna track. This is without a doubt one of the most overplayed Rihanna tracks but your rendition.. I could listen to it daily tbh. You changed up the instrumental and it made it so much more beautiful imo. You definitely shined brighter than a Diamond tonight girl. Your vocals reach the sky and can move mountains. I was highly hesitant when I saw your track choice but I was SOLD after hearing you perform like this. WERK Kymberli :)
Jack: *Claps* Honestly the performance was really good except for that first bit. I think you really struggled there but you was able to come from behind that and you went for the jugular with this performance. This was a good performance but not the best of what I know you can do.
Michael: Another act I really wanted on my team but at least you're in the lives. This was such a strong performance from you and I know it gonna get better with the later performances. Definitely enough for you to move on to the Top 13 next week. Incredible job!
Sea: THE LONG NOTE OML! THAT. WAS. STUNNING. You did something only Dimash has done so far tonight; you SCALPED ME! SPECTACULAR! There is a reason why you are here in the lives, AND THIS IS IT! KEEP IT UP, AND YOU ARE ON THE TRACK TO WIN!
Shanna: WOW! I was not expecting you to choose such an iconic track to cover! This was a bit unexpected. I know you have some amazing performances up your sleeve. The first half was a bit dry for me but once you picked it up vocally I was loving it. It took you a while to get there but once you did the powerful vocals that I know you have really shined through :)
