Great job as usual Jerby. I really liked the whole thing. The song was a little slow, but overall very nice work.
Kerrie, I love that song, and your version is one of the best I have ever heard. I wish the volume was even, but even with that, it was a FABULOUS performance. Better than several professionals I have seen.
Spiderdj: I like your work more and more each week, another solid performance, and a fun funky song.
Allie- I have soft spot for old school Jewel. This was my favorite performance of yours so far, another Gem!
"Shadowboxer", Fiona Apple - Kitzarina

"At Last", Etta James - Ebonic_Singer

Jerby- One for my Baby 9.5
Another amazing entry. You are making it increasingly difficult for me to actually find something to say. You continue to adapt to each genre and grow with each week. This was a great song for you and showed off your range well. I loved the feel and the mood of this song. I can't help but wonder what you have in store for us next.
WesternSky2- Still Hurting 9.0
I love this song, it's so heartbreaking, and I do love a good cry worthy song. I just wish we could have done something to balance the vocals and the piano. Despite the overbearing piano this is one of my favorites songs of yours. You sing the hurting leading lady very well. Hopefully it's not type casting. Your dynamics are great, the balance between loud and soft gives it the prefect dimension. Great job!
Spiderdj82- She Will Be Loved 9.0
Maroon 5 seems to be a good fit for you vocally. Are you trying to replace Adam Levine? If so you better be cute. I know you were concerned about doing another Maroon 5 song, but I think that it was better for you to choose this song and be comfortable with it than to struggle with something else just for the sake of not repeating artists.
Allie- You Were Meant For Me 8.8
You are starting to have a little more versatility in your songs. I still think you should have tried something like “My give a damn's busted” but you did a good job on this one. It's not as syrupy sweet as your previous entries which is good. I'm gonna keep pushing you through out the competition though.. I have such high hopes for you. You have a beautiful voice, I just really want to hear something that blows me away. It's time to be a Diva! I have no problems beating a dead horse! You had a couple of minor pitch problems but overall good job!
Broadway86- Amazing 8.8
Thank you for stepping it up this week. I'm not gonna lie and tell you I haven't been disappointed in your last couple of entries. This song however made me glad that you are still in the competition. Continue on this path and I'll be happy! This was a good song for you, it seemed very comfortable for your range. Good showing this week
Kitzarina- Shadowboxer 8.8
I love your dedication. It was seriously apropos. I think this is your best submission in the past couple of weeks as well. Perhaps because you had a personal connection to it. Gotta love the bitter diatribes we can make this time of year dont you? You sound angry and bitter, and I loved it. Way to step up to the plate this week.
Ebonic_Singer- At Last 9.0
Another favorite song of mine. Very soulful. I guess if there had to be a lovey dovey song this week this was a great choice. I will admit I was worried about it though. You adapted and sang it very well. I even liked the slide towards the end. You did sound like you were starting to run out of breath a little though towards the very end. Great job!
I want to congratulate everyone this week. You all did a really good job. As you can see from my scores I had a really hard time judging this week.. With that I leave it up to the listen public to make the choice! Good luck to you all!
Bway....WOW!!! You REALLY stepped it up this week, this is the best you have done. I am impressed!

Gertie = FAST
yeah, 86--you have a sexy voice. I can not walk right now.
Kitz- Whoever was pushing you to do this song was right. Your voice sounds really cool with this song, not everyone could do this one!
Great work from all of the contestants this week!
Ebonic Singer: I liked it this week, but I wasn't feeling it.
Bway86: I think this was your best performance since the first week.
Kitz: I love the way you sing with passion and pain, and I love that song. Close to perfect for me, once again. And much stronger than last weeks effort. Definitely better than the C- game you needed.

Another one I'd never heard before, broadway86! Your voice is so... easy to listen to. I really, really like it.
Aww, shucks. Y'all are makin' me blush.
Time to strap on the ol' stand bys and get to work.
Vote for Kitzy...she'll make it worth your while
Oy,, I was only able to listen to a couple on my new computer. It seems I couldn't open some because I got a screen saying I didn't have a program to open. This is so frustrating!
Do you have window media player on there yet?

Oops! I'd missed 86's. I love your voice. Very nice to listen to.
Gggrrrrrr. This is so frustrating!
*contemplates*
Heh, Kit. I already know who I'm voting for...
cat-I have a new iMac. I was trying to install real player, would that help?
