She just doesn’t have a “character” voice. She’s a good singer, but not a unique voice... in my opinion.

[freedumb2003]

These fake instrument players in the background are just distracting from singing.

It is better when the real musicians are there and interact with the singer.

Im liking Phillips performance....and liking the gal on Sax too....reminds me of Candy Dulfer.

[RummyChick]

I like phillip but all his songs sound the same to me.

[kjam22]

agree.... you know, I said it last week... but I’m sure every song in Phillips head sounds the same.

[freedumb2003]

Really J-Lo? really really? What do you really think? Really?

Really!

[kjam22]

Yep... I’m sure... every song in his head sounds the same

[Manic_Episode]

Phillip should do Seether, Country Song.

[freedumb2003]

>>. but I’m sure every song in Phillips head sounds the same.<<

That makes it even for the rest of us...

Phillip Phillips

His choice is “Give A Little More” by Maroon 5.

Iovine isn't thrilled. "You don't have to be different just to be different."

Back to the acoustic guitar again. A blonde chick is playing sax next to him. The song is kinda bland, but upbeat. Doesn't really go anywhere.

Steven: Man, we've watched you evolve here. This is a lot different than the Phillip Phillips that first came in here. (Says he looks like a Steve McQueen/Johnny Cash hybrid)

J-Lo: A little underwhelming. It wasn't everything that I know you can give us.

Randy: Gotta agree with Jennifer. Don't know if it was your best peformance. Don't know if it was that "wow" kind of a moment.

I like phillip but all his songs sound the same to me.

He's very Dave Matthews-like. Maybe a bit too much.

I so miss Cookie.

[silent_jonny]

If she sang so perfect as the judges are saying, where was the standing ovation? Oh yeah, it’s country.

Yep.

[retrokitten]

I crank this song on the elliptical machine.

[peggybac]

I hope Kelly isn’t watching this car wreck.

[stylecouncilor]

Has everyone seen the Rita Hayworth Stayin Alive video yet?

No kidding. Those blue feathers on Hollie are distracting.

[kjam22]

Did he say Elise was doing a Lady Gaga song? I don’t know if that will work??? Maybe??

[silent_jonny]

A Trio

Hollie, Joshua and third-wheel Sanchez.

They scream their way through Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger". Make it stop. It's like they're screaming a different song that only they can hear.

A whole lotta nothing.

J-Lo: This is the season of the big voice. Makes me proud to let America see what we found.

Steven: You guys should get together and call yourself "Holliejoshachez" (?)

Randy: This is dope. This is a great trio.

No it wasn't.

[peggybac]

Awesome!!!!!
