Top 12\\\11 - Birth Year Songsw/ Will.i.am
We already knew that Jermaine was disqualified for having a criminal record, and apparently he has 4 outstanding warrants against him; two for falsifying his name to law enforcement, and at least another for fighting. Whatever. A wasted spot even before this info.
IMHO:
B+ Joshua (1992) "When a Man Loves a Woman"
B+ Colton (1991) "Broken Heart"
B+ Hollie (1993) "The Power of Love"
B+ Jessica (1995) "Turn the Beat Around"
B Shannon (1995) "One Sweet Day"
B Skylar (1994) "Love Sneaking Up On You"
B Philip (1990) "Hard to Handle"
B Deandre (1994) "Endless Love"
C- Erika (1985) "Heaven"
D+ Heejun (1989) "Right Here Waiting"
PHILIP was pretty good, Karaoke+. R: Good song choice; J: Great, loved it; S: Watch melody, keep it up
JESSICA is ready now, and just 16?!! Some pitch issues, but good. S: Don't stray too far from ballads; J: Lagged, lost rhythm, good job; R: Song choice an issue
HEEJUN was too breathy, not very good. R: Pitchy, wrong song, didn't enjoy it; J: Struggling, felt it at the end; S: Breathy, special vocals anyway
ELISE was better, but problematic. S: Love your voice; J: That was right, beautiful; R: Dope, Elise is back
DEANDRE wasn't perfect, but still like him. J: Can sing anything, not right song; S: Not right song, you'll find it; R: Boring/safe at wrong time
SHANNON could've been worse, kinda Zzzz. J: Beautiful job, great; S: Beautiful, good job; R: Mad potential, Yo!
COLTON was great. J: Really really well, look pretty; S: Wrong song, raspberries [?!!]; R: Song didn't matter, dope, consistent
ERIKA was bad karaoke. S: Too busy; J: Left us wanting more; R: Kinda liked it, 8/10, just sing it
[Here they explained Jermaine's absence]
SKYLAR was competent. S: Beautiful; J: Really killed that; R: You rocked it
JOSHUA I loved, but totally believable? R: Phenomenal; J: Best thing I've seen on AI; S: Good came thru your eyes [huh??!]
HOLLIE had good control but a tiny bit Zzzz. J: You and Joshua best for last, beautiful; S: Beautiful, pitch here and there; R: Blew it out of the box

Ryan asked the judges who was safest and in trouble:
R: Safest: Joshua; Trouble: Heejun
J: Safest: Joshua, Hollie, Philip; Trouble: Let America decide
S: Safest: Joshua, Skylar, Philip; Trouble: Let America decide

My Bottom 3 are Heejun, Erika, and Elise
As to who goes home? Well, in the past no one went home when there was a scandal, so my guess is... no one goes home, but they get warned. But Heejun should go, having two bad ones in a row.
