Boyce Avenue - Iris


Shanna: AHHH! YAS! I LOVE THIS TRACK SO MUCH! Not many people can pull this one off but wow it just looks so easy for y’all to pull it off. I have a very soft spot for alternative music so this was one of my absolute favorite performances so far. I love when you belt! You give me CHILLS! AHHH!! I AM IN LOVE RN! Incredible work :)

Sea: Your performances are a bit hit or miss for me sometimes, but this was a HIT! I loved the vibes here :D There wasn't a MASSIVE vocal moment like some people tonight, but I still really enjoyed this! You are somewhat of a wildcard this season...I have ZERO clue what is coming, but I am excited, as this was a great way to kick off the season for you :D

Next, Alisan Porter

Alisan Porter - Somewhere


Shanna: QUEEN OF VOCALS! One of my favorite voice winners irl. You wowed me EVERY week on the real show and I can honestly say that with the performances you still have left to perform you could EASILY win this season. It’s crazy it took you getting a second chance to win because you have EVERYTHING it takes to win this game! Great work :)

Sea: THE NOTES AT THE END WERE...OML! This performance was strong, but they truly MADE this! IN LOVE! Absolutely GORGEOUS! You pulled this off and delivered certainly one of the stronger performances of the night for you...MASSIVE WELL DONE!

Next, Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love


Shanna: FUCK. YES. DADDY! You are the number one idol contestant that didn’t win irl that actually should have. You set the bar every week and I can tell rn that in this game it will be hard for you NOT to slay us. One of the best male vocalists of ALL TIME imo. You are already a favorite of mine to win this whole thing. If I could bet real money I would bet on you! THAT is how much I believe in you Adam! KEEP SLAYING DADDY! :)

Sea: Another somewhat hit or miss singer for me, however, OML DID YOU SLAY THIS TONIGHT! This was just...perfect! It slid from your mouth BEAUTIFULLY! This had me somewhat gagged lol. BRILLIANT was to kick off your journey this season, and you have certainly pegged yourself as a dark horse for me ;)

Next, Beyoncé

Beyoncé - Broken Hearted Girl


Shanna: OMG THIS SEASON IS SO STACKED! I had the pleasure of making you my first champion on #TeamShanna ON MY FIRST SEASON as a coach. You never cease to amaze me tbh. Easily a winner this season in my eyes. You can do NO wrong imo. QUEEN B IS HERE TO SLAY US ALL :)

Sea: We're doing this again, yay :) Out of everyone this season, you are the most hit or miss of ALL TIME! I did rather enjoy this though! Your showed brilliant range, and while this wasn't my absolute favorite of the night, I still did rather enjoy this, so well done :)

Next, Louisa Johnson

Louisa Johnson - Who's Loving You


Shanna: LOUISA! This is one of my favorite performances from you. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this performance you had me SHOOK! And I still get the same feeling I got when I first watched this. You are another frontrunner and you could easily slay the entire season. I can see you winning this whole thing tbh. Phenomenal work tonight :)

Sea: NOT THIS UGH! THIS IS BRILLIANT! Hell...ONE OF THE GREATEST AUDITIONS OF ALL TIME! Wig = ON THE FLOOR! You came out and delivered this MASTERPIECE yet again, and all I have to do is applaud you MASSIVELY! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SUPERB!

Next, Pia Toscano

Pia Toscano - I Have Nothing


Shanna: OH PIA! Not you giving us the PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT! You can EASILY win this season and I know i’ve said that so much already tonight but THIS. This was easily my favorite performance of the night. There is no doubt in my mind you will make the finale of WAW2. You take the cake on being a world class vocalist. CHILLS, STRAIGHT CHILLS TONIGHT! Impeccable work tonight :)

Sea: HELL FUCKING YES! Performance of the night so far? OML DEFINETELY! This sent my wig to SPACE! You have good performances...BUT MY GOD WAS THIS A BRILLIANT WAY TO OPEN YOUR JOURNEY THIS SEASON! I am in awe of you...just...*CLAPS* SPEECHLESS!

Next, Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson - Hallelujah


Shanna: YAS JHUD! You were the first act I won with in this game and you will always have a soft spot in my heart. You possess everything it takes when it comes to being a champion and even a double champion! This specific performance of Hallelujah isn’t my favorite of yours. But it’s not at all bad. You gave me everything I wanted from the first live show of the season! Great work :)

Sea: Gorgeous ;( In such a strong field of contestants, you also DELIVERED! For me, this isn't really the most memorable performance of the night, but I still did rather enjoy it! BRILLIANT JOB! I can't see you walking out those doors this week, SO GOOD JOB QUEEN!

And closing the top 15 live show, Haley Reinhart
