The Top 6 Perform

The Top 6 will each perform 2 songs tonight. Song #1 will be from the Burt Bacharach and Hal David catalog and song #2 will be a song the finalist wish they had written.

Anyone Who Had A Heart was a top 10 hit for Dionne Warwick in 1964. Angie Miller makes singing and hitting all of the range of notes in the song look effortless She took this classic ballad and delivered it with grace, poise and crystal clear beauty.

I Say A Little Prayer is another Dionne Warwick song that went to #4 in 1967. Amber Holcomb sounds wonderful and looks great on stage. This is one of the catchiest and most fun songs of all time and she did not disappoint.

They Long To Be Close To You was the very first #1 song for the Carpenters in 1970. It kicked off an impressive string of hits and earned them the Grammy for Best New Artist. Lazaro Arbos served up a very sweet and subtle rendition of the song. Unfortunately the song didn't allow him to showcase himself at his best.

What The World Needs Now is exactly the kind of song Kree Harrision needed to showcase herself at her best. It was all about her voice. She struggles when it comes to having any stage presence or personality but that wasn't necessary this time around since all she needed to do was stand there and sing.

I'll Never Fall In Love Again is yet another selection from the Dionne Warwick collection. This one hit the top 10 in 1970. Janelle Arthur is the exact opposite of Kree as she completely embodies an entertaining stage presence and vibrant personality. Janelle sounded sweet and wonderful as she worked the entire stage and related to every single member of the audience.

Don't Make Me Over was the very first hit for Dionne Warwick in 1963. Candice Glover is another one who just stood there and let her vocals shine through. It was a beautiful performance of this great song.

Angie Miller wishes she had written Love Came Down by Keri Jobe. It's a inspirational ballad where Angie was at her best vocalizing to perfection while playing at the piano. She is a natural performer and a star and she truly shined tonight.

Amber Holcomb wishes she had written Love On Top by Beyonce. Amber quite literally strutted her stuff in cut off hot pants and high heels. The song didn't allow her vocals to stand out on top but it was still a entertaining performance.

Lazaro Arbos wishes he had written Angels by Robbie Williams. Lazaro has the voice and the spirit of an angel and he let it sparkle to all of his many fans with this lovely performance.

Kree Harrison wishes she had written Help Me Make It Through The Night by Kris Kristofferson. It's a classic country ballad, but the reality is that there have been numerous much better renditions than what Kree offered tonight. It just sounded drab and lifeless.

Janelle Arthur wishes she had written The Dance by Garth Brooks. Janelle sang every word and you could tell it was from her heart and that she meant it. It was a very special moment and we were lucky to have her share it with all of us.

Candice Glover wishes she had written LoveSong by The Cure. Candice took it up even a notch higher with this world class, stellar performance. It was more like something from a seasoned professional than something from a talent competition. She really surpassed all expectations.

The girls are doing an amazing job every week and even though we totally and completely love Lazaro he is most likely going to end up in the bottom three along with Janelle and Amber. He is going to get my votes, but I still predict that he will be the one going home.
