Top 6 - Country & Rock 'n RollRock
B+ Caleb "Sting Me"
B Alex "Animal"
B Sam "It's Time"
B Jena "Barracuda"
C+ Jess "Somebody to Love"
C CJ "American Woman"
JENA had one of her better performances. K: Killer, but release more
SAM did a good job. J: Goosies; H: Blossoming
CJ wasn't that great. H: Pretty good, but watch intonation
ALEX did a good job with a great song. K: Release more; J: Something missing, contained
CALEB (who awesomely dove to recover his dropped mic, without missing a beat) was obviously in his element, but song choice? J: Some real rock & roll ...stuff.
JESS was better than usual. H: Strong, nice job; K: Release more; J: Connect
If I hear Keith say "release more" one more time......!!Country
A- Alex "Always On My Mind"
B Caleb "Undo It"
B Jena "So Small"
B Jess "Jolene"
B- CJ "Whatever It Is"
C- Sam "You're Still The One"
SAM was out of his element, karaoke. K: Relax more; H: More dynamics
CALEB pulled of a Carrie Underwood song, but it wasn't country-ish. H: More forced, but still extremely strong; K: (jokingly) "Can't wait to hear your country song"
ALEX sounded Paul Simon-esque, love this guy! H: Beautiful, an artist; K:
More heartbreak; J: Perfect balance, beautiful
JENA wasn't country, either, but a good night for her (not one of my favorites). K: Such a good singer; J: Vocal took over, goosies; H: Didn't work for me
CJ was a bit better here. J: Didn't hit the mark, song choice; H: Didn't kill
JESS, again, was better than usual. K: Hated arrangement; J: Strong vocal
