First time in awhile that I was able to nail three of the four departing contestants – I guess my good ear was working just fine these past two days. I will admit that I purposely didn’t want to pick Joanne because I wanted her to get another chance. That wasn’t her best performance by a mile and she is capable of much better but it wasn’t to be. Why they paired her with Amanda I’ll never know — that gal wasn’t going anywhere and I think most folks were aware of that. Amy was no loss and she showed that again with her sing-off.
Now with the guys it was plausible that either Colton or Chikeze could get “das boot” given their performances while Garrett was a no-brainer. All in all, the right folks bowed out tonight and the rest better step up their game because it only gets harder from here.
Carry on!
