Yeah, that was noticeably bad. Makes ya start to wonder about the contestants' performances. (Although, since most of them are amateurs, I doubt they could pull off lip syncing enough to consistently use it.)

Emily Ann Roberts is adorable and talented. I loved her performance. Made me forget the first performance, and I thought I'd enjoyed it (whatever his name is)!

Excellent show last night.

Except for Braiden... that wasn't good at all. He should be in the bottom two, probably with Korin again.

My second favorite performance was Madi. I even liked Barrett, which is unusual for me.

As far as Braiden, that was certainly not the epic performance he envisioned for himself. He's a sweet kid, but I just don't think Gwen is a good coach.

As I've said, I really like Braiden's tone, but there was nothing spectacular about the performance. No real stand out moments. Gwen needs to coach if she's going to do that. He'll probably make it because he's still a cute kid and he wasn't bad. Just not standout.

I can't remember all of the names yet. I sort of listened while cyber shopping.

Emily Ann was really good, though. I wasn't crazy about Barrett, though he was much better than last week which I thought was bizarre. I found that I stopped listening to him this week.

Zach was just okay. I love Jordan, but that song is so often chosen that I've tired of it. I'm not interested in hearing gospel every week either. I hope he does some other things like he did last week.

Can't really remember the other performances right now.

He can't seem to keep his voice strong while performing on stage. I'm sure he's great in the recording studio, and he's entertaining on stage, but he doesn't do both at the same time very well.

Agreed that Hallelujah is over done, but Jordan was great as usual. Shelby (who I have typically hated) was really good as well last night.

Overall I thought it was one of the best nights of performances I can remember. 7/10 are in the itunes top 10... so I guess the public agrees.

That's a lot. Who didn't make the top 10?

Zach, Korin, and Braiden.


Pretty much who should be the current bottom 3. In my opinion.

Korin may not make it through this time.

Poor girl. I feel really bad for her. That was painful to watch.

But at least she's gone. She's another one who I wondered how she made it through the Blinds much less Top 10.

Korin had to be put out of her misery, I guess. I was rooting for her because she was like a cat that had 9 lives, but it was definitely her time. Braiden sang better tonight than last night. Radioactive did nothing for him at all. Song choice is everything at this point.

Jordan is my favorite. That kid's voice is ridiculous.

Braiden needs to go next, he is nowhere near those that are left now.

Yeah, Korin was so hard to watch. I think Gwen messed her up with all the hair color changes. At least, she's no longer white blonde. That color didn't suit her. She still looks washed out. Her hair color was fine. A new do would have been enough.

Braiden was much better but not outstanding. Nice kid, has to step it up.
How is this the semi finals already?

Jordan, Emily Ann and Amy are my personal favorites.

Jordan is just freaking incredible, Emily Ann has one of the best traditional female country voices that's ever been on the show (plus she's mature beyond her years, and Amy is a versatile touch of class (not the traditional "The Voice" style, and I'm surprised she's lasted this long, but I think she's very, very talented).

Amy pulled off "Bye Bye Bye" very well. I was impressed. I also liked Madi's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and I don't like that song at all.

Emily Ann Roberts is, in real life, everything she seems to be on the show. She lives in West Knoxville and we are friends with her Aunt. So glad to see her doing so well.

Well, I'm still watching.

Still a very strong group. Didn't dig Amazing Grace by Sunshine, though.

For my taste it's down to: Amy, Emily Ann, Jordan and Madi.

Although, the rest are pretty damned good.

I agree, but Jordan is like a pro playing with amateurs at this point.

I thought Jeffrey had a shot, but his Cher performance was a let down. That was Braiden's best performance in a few weeks but still not top 4 worthy. Zac is in way over his head. Shelby and Barrett are good but not quite top 4.

Never underestimate the country voting bloc though. It could be Jordan and Team Blake in the finals.

Jordan is going to wire-to-wire this thing as undisputed champ.

Pretty good season, although still very stale on it.
