I so wanted her to make it. Just goes to show how important song choice is, but I was really happy that 3 of my favorite women went through: Kree Harrison (gosh she reminds me of Adele), Angie Miller and Amber Holcomb (my favorite). Candice has that beautiful smooth jazz voice, which I love, but I’m not sure how long she will stay popular with the young voters, and Janelle Arthur is cute and perky and has a good country voice, but she will never keep up with Kree, IMO.
So glad Paul Jolley made it through for the guys, and I actually picked Brunell and Lazaro and Devon, but was not impressed with Curtis, even though it was a "given" that he would go through.
Still love Keith Urban as a judge. He’s so genuine and one of the best judges AI has seen in a good while. Hope he stays, but Nikki and Mariah can both clear out next year, if there is a next year.
