I was just wondering if Nicki gave Mariah the necklace that Ellen DeGeneres gifted to them both?

SONG SPOILERS! :wohoo:

Show content
Angie Miller
"Maybe" by Emile Sandé
"Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" by Elton John
"Try" by Pink

Candice Glover
"Next To Me" by Emile Sandé
"One" by U2
"Somewhere" by Reri Grist/Barbra Stresiand

Kree Harrison
"Perfect" by Pink
"Better Dig Two" by The Band Perry
"Here Comes Goodbye" by Chris Sligh/Rascal Flatts

I'm so proud of most of their choices actually! Kree is FINALLY singing songs that people can really recognize with. Angie is as usual gonna haunt us with goosebumpsy piano performances and Candice... we all know she's going to slay her songs!

OMG, EXCITING FINAL THREE. I don't want either of them to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( I can't remember in any other season of AI where I've had my top 3 performers of the season in the F3 and for that.. my faith in AI has been restored. :lol3:

Based on the song list, Kree and Angie both have a recent + relatively famous song. Whereas for Candice, she has a famous song, a classic song and a not so well-known song.

I think Candice is going to kill Somewhere and get a standing ovation totally. Whereas the judges are probably going to criticize Kree for not doing justice to a Pink song... Randy will probably say something like "I wished you put more attitude into it!"...

And the judges will really like the Pink and Elton John songs chosen by Angie... and most probably just commend Angie on her Emile Sande song. The judges will also most probably like Kree's rendition of Here Comes Goodbye.

lol. I can totally picture all their comments in my mind now already. Considering they have been so harsh on Kree, I won't even be surprise if they sort of like throw her under the bus for ALL her songs even if she sang well.. :res:

If they do that to Kree then they want Candice to be in the final two. I hope they don't and I hope they all sing their hearts out.

I think Candice MIGHT miss the Top 3. But we never know. Amber's votes just all went to Candice... I think, or Angie. :stare

Kree: I liked the sincerity of the performance. Told you Randy is going to criticize it.. "You don't have a lot of possess to it".. :res:

The judges are basically avoiding the "We don't want to appear to be throwing you under the bus, but NO, we are not giving you good comments for your song. :res: :res: :res:

Come on, it wasn't that bad!

Candice: Her voice resonated in this song choice. Dang, she's good with making songs into her own style to showcase her vocals. Her voice sounded a little weak and raspy today... perhaps she wasn't in her best condition today? And I agree with Randy, she was kind of flat and sharp at times and at a point in the song I felt that she just didn't connect with me.

Angie: It was great. I would have given her a standing ovation. Just because she isn't behind the piano doesn't mean that she can't do the song better than at the piano just by simply standing there. It was even a greater performance than Candice's one and there's no #inittowinit??? :res:

Grade: A- (Reserving my A cause I know more crazzzzyyyy performances are coming)

Candice: I liked the song choice! I liked her vocals! I liked the entire performance. It was refreshing, showcased her vocals well and I thought it was flawless! However, I felt like there was something missing about the song... especially at the end when it ended abruptly.. I was hoping for her to end with a really long, high and sexy note...

Kree: She didn't get a standing Ovation?? It was an emotional trigger and she sang her heart out... it was so beautiful. I had to listen to it again and this just shows what I've been talking about Kree not picking the right songs. Look at what she did to this song... she killed it. So good... just so good. I felt every single word of her song. This is by far my most favourite performance from her.

Angie: I LOVED IT. She was comfortable and in the zone with every single word she sang. Definitely one of her best performances ever and just proved all the judges wrong. She DOESN'T NEED A PIANO everytime! :res: LOVEDDDDD IT!

omg Kree's performance of Here Comes Goodbye was stunning... I've never been a Kree fan, but holy moly. That was filled with emotion. I was listening to Perfect and I felt like there was no emotion... and then Here Comes Goodbye was an emotional rollercoaster.

Kree: I loved the performance! I agreed with Mariah though.. "more sorrow than anger". But I agreed with the judges.. she was bigger than the song! But I think the country fans are gonna love it.. not a great song choice for the F3 though!

Candice: CRAZY VOCALS. But am I the only one here who felt that she didn't make it her own? I felt that the arrangement was messy and I miss the soulfulness from her... I know many people are going to like this performance by her and such... but definitely not one of my favourite from her. I thought she was going to be exceptional in it and as expected and predicted... the judges gave her a standing O just because it was a big song? :res: Kree's second song beat her hands down.

I listened to it twice and cried both times. It's like her screaming out all the unjust and unfairness she has been shown on the show. :lol3:

Angie: It was great, normal, sincere. But not her best piano performance. A weird song choice for the F3. But if you know the original song, she made this song completely her own so props to her. But I do hope if she's in the F2!
