This season being what it is, this is not a night of musical perfection.

But there are some standout moments that might help us figure out wholl emerge victorious tomorrow night.

Lets walk through the nights performances, for better and for worse, shall we?

Technically, though, this isnt her best.

(Tl;dr Theyre the worst.)

So, it goes without saying that this is not usually my favorite part of the night.

This song choice is pretty exciting because, frankly, I just like it.

But what Kelly Clarkson and her lady squire here manage to do with it is only abouthalfgood.

Brynn shouldve saved this one for a solo and pared down all of the extras.

What is this song, even?

The lyrics are so, so bad its distracting.

Kyla JadeThe Last Tear

NOW WERE TALKING.

Everythings going right for her with this one even the cheesy lighthouse imagery on stage kinda works.

The song is a slow burn, its emotional, and her delivery is darn close to flawless.

Thisll be the one people want to hear again, guaranteed.

Because these song choices fit her about as well as a pair of clown shoes.

Brynn Cartellis performance is just okay.

At best, this is a song that backdrops some senior citizen dating site commercial.

This duet is not exactly hurting her, per se, but its not doing her any favors either.

Is it cartoonish and overkill?

Spensha BakerOld Soul

The lyrics here pretty much say it all: Were going to take it slow.

Just take your time […] I want that old soul, give me that old soul tonight.
