Tonight the top 4 finalists will each sing two songs. The 1st one will be a song that is a current hit in 2013 and the 2nd will be a classic standard.
Angie Miller started out the night at the piano with her heartfelt rendition of Rihanna's most recent #1 hit, Diamonds. Angie completely made the song her own and injected some new personality and punch to the song. For her second song Angie graced the stage in a lovely long gown and her beautiful vocals on Some One To Watch Over Me. She is a poised and polished entertainer all around.
Amber Holcomb selected the current hit by Pink called Just Give Me A Reason. The song itself is not very good and not very catchy, but Amber's exceptional vocals were easily better than the original. Since this performance was somewhat lackluster, it's a good thing she could come back and apply her amazing voice to the classic, My Funny Valentine. It was an outstanding moment in the spotlight for her.
Candice Glover added her own special vocals to the current #1 hit by Bruno Mars, When I Was Your Man. She sounded incredible and she made the lyrics really mean something with her interpretation. Her classic selection was You've Changed and she once again turned things up a notch with the perfect combination of her great voice connecting with the story being told in the lyrics.
Kree Harrison took on the current single from the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood. She was just back on the American Idol stage a few weeks ago performing the song, so Kree's effort had a lot to live up to. Both on this song and on her second selection, Stormy Weather, the biggest weakness Kree has is prominently on display. She does not have a distinctive quality that sets her apart from other singers.
Angie, Amber and Candice should all make it into the top 3 because they are able to combine their outstanding vocals with an interesting and dynamic stage presence and personality. Because of their exceptional abilities, that leaves Kree as the finalist who should be going home this week.
