The Top 12 bring it Home

Tonight the top 12 finalists performed songs that remind them of home. The best performance of the night came from Alex Preston who delivered a fresh and insightful take on Gavin DeGraw's I Don't Want To Be. Alex is an extremely talented musician and vocalist through and through and he can always be counted on to provide a personal and compelling performance.

Right up there with the best is MK Nobilette who performed Drops of Jupiter by Train. She has a true and genuine personal style that is as unique as her impressive vocal gifts. It was very wrong that she ended up in the bottom three last week and I hope it does not happen again.

I have to give an honorable mention to the most improved of the week: Malaya Watson went from an out of control train wreck last week to a tasteful and classy gospel vocalist and pianist this week.

My prediction for this week's bottom three is Sam Woolf who is simply boring, Jena Irene who is getting lost in the crowd and Emily Piriz who foolishly tried to showcase her voice with a Jennifer Lopez song. It was a very bad choice since Jennifer is a dancer and not really a singer. Poor Emily got lost on stage and was barely noticeable surrounded by the energy of the band. Emily is most likely to be the contestant who is going home this week.
