Cry - K. Michelle Lyrics - YouTube | k michelle cry lyrics

Most analytical of all, though, was how asperous the aptitude this division is proving to be.

At this point in the competition, it appears bright that several of the contestants (MK Nobilette, Sam Woolf) don't yet accept the aplomb to footfall calmly into the spotlight beneath ample scrutiny. Others authority appeal, but abridgement bendability (C.J. Harris, Jessica Meuse, Majesty Rose, the above Watson). Others are consistent, but abridgement address (Dexter Roberts, Caleb Johnson).

Right now, alone two contenders arise to accept the musicality, creativity, equanimity and date attendance — the raw aptitude and "artistry," as the board adeptness say — to be music success stories, if not stars: Jena Irene and Alex Preston. And alike they are activity to accept to up the ante to absolutely affix and accumulate our interest.

As for the performances …

M.K Nobilette sang a badly amiss adaptation of Pink's "Perfect," with which she had hoped to affect her fans. Singing aboriginal into a mirror (remember aback Michelle Chamuel did that on "The Voice"?), again while affecting admirers easily and assuredly as she wandered about the stage, she absent the rhythm, the melody and the lyrics.

Urban anticipation she'd recovered well. Lopez did not. "Don't anytime let that happen," Lopez said. "You accept to aloof go for it." Connick believed that, in accession to mucking up the words, Nobilette had bootless to affix with the song emotionally. Nobilette, though, anticipation her achievement "was appealing solid for what it was." Perhaps her upbeat attitude in the face of adversity, if not her singing, will affect her fans.

Dexter Roberts best a song, Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," that was appropriate in his lane, but instead of revving things up and demography the song about new, his achievement never absolutely got out of neutral. By the end the activity of the army aloof seemed to sputter and die.

Lopez said that it was "really good" but that he'd absent the befalling to pump up the crowd. Connick absolutely did not anticipate it was good, calling Roberts' arrangement "generic," "bereft of joy," and "meandering." (Cue that boo from Lopez.) Urban said it had been a acceptable song best and had apparent affiance and Roberts' "artistry" at the beginning, but had again veered off course. "You accept to own it," Lopez advised.

Jena Irene, gluttonous to accompany cyberbanking music to "Idol" — it's "where my affection is," she said — sang "Clarity" by Zedd, assuming off her pipes, her abdomen and her adeptness to command a crowd. "Everyone, get those afterglow sticks up!" she ordered in what was, as Urban noted, the best achievement of the night appropriately far.

Even Connick was impressed, cogent Irene he anticipation cyberbanking music adeptness be her wheelhouse and that he was "starting to get a absolutely bright idea" of who she was. Urban said she looked comfortable, never "desperate," and had fabricated the song her own. "No amount what you sing, Jena," he said. "You complete like Jena." Lopez admired it so abundant she admired it had lasted longer, but brash Irene to "hold the middle" of the stage.

Alex Preston bravely took on One Direction's "Story of My Life," fearing backfire from the boy band's die-hard fans. "If I do bad," he noted, they'll "hate me." He did able-bodied abundant to accomplish Lopez ball in her armchair and, afterwards he finished, accustomed himself a pained-looking smile.

Urban said Preston had apparent himself to be a absolute artist, cogent him he'd done his "Alex thing." Lopez alleged the articulate "beautiful" and said he'd endemic the stage, abacus that he reminded her of Buddy Holly, after the glasses, and evoked "greatness."

Connick, too, offered aerial praise, cogent Preston he had "just hit the bull's-eye on the ability target" and was "so constant with your aesthetic choices." Connick said he was "really alpha to apperceive who" Preston was, and that he was "leading the backpack in that category."

Oh, and to abate Preston's fears, Seacrest apprehend a bulletin of abutment from One Direction's Niall Horan. I assumption now that Woolf seems endangered, the appearance is gluttonous to bless addition boyhood heartthrob.

Malaya Watson connected her contempo advancement aisle with Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man," abrogation the gender as it was accounting (as Candice Glover did aback she performed the song aftermost season) and dedicating it to guys she knows who accept messed up relationships. Her vocals soared in spots, admitting the achievement was not absolutely spotless; it would accept been nice, at some point, for her to accept gotten up from her stool.

Still, it gave Lopez "goosies" and prompted Connick to burst about Watson's aboveboard agreeable interpretation, adage she was "present in every distinct word." Urban said she had agape it "out of esplanade vocally" and had pulled him in by affairs back.

Caleb Johnson tackled Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory," which he acclaimed had "lots of abundant bedrock undertones." The slowed-down adaptation showed off Johnson's able vocals, but never angled over the bend and soared.

Connick admired that Johnson "took a straight-up, bourgeois Gaga pop tune" and put his own circuit on it with a "halftime groove," giving him an "A for originality." Urban complimented Johnson's "killer tone" and "interesting song choice," but "didn't dig the halftime feel." "Your articulation is like a locomotive, and if the clue is not there with you, it's like there's an imbalance," he said.

Lopez didn't apperception the halftime factor, but anticipation Johnson's achievement lacked feeling. "I didn't feel like you were singing about anything," she said, but rather "just assuming off vocally for us."

C.J. Harris brought in a cord area to aback him on Hunter Hayes' "Invisible," but he could accept acclimated addition to bandy him a rope: He was off pitch; his articulation absurd in spots.

The board all said they were acclaim for him -- Urban and Lopez acclaimed that he'd nailed the song in call — but apprenticed him to get a handle on blockage in tune beneath pressure, aback the cameras rolled. "You accept aggregate abroad activity for you," Urban said.

Later, Harris said he believed he'd administer to get his fretfulness beneath control. "Over time, it'll assignment out," he said.

Jessica Meuse took on "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People, acquainted the alterity amid the blithe tune and dark, aphotic lyrics. It was her arch achievement in weeks. Lopez told her she'd articulate it "perfectly."

Connick, however, was affronted that Meuse had articulate the "provocative" lyrics while smiling, adage he sometimes wondered "where the cry is" — forth with the laugh, joy and affliction — in Meuse's performances and labeling them "one-dimensional." He was waiting, he said, for Meuse "to emote on a altered level."

Meuse was larboard abashed that she didn't endorse "homicidal behavior," but was rescued by Urban, who said he anticipation she'd done a acceptable job of authoritative the song her own, giving it a " '60s country pop" trippiness. Lopez additionally jumped in to avert her. "Some pop songs are like that," she said, with altered things activity on at the aforementioned time, and this one, she said, was "complicated."

Majesty Rose, apologetic by a bottom-three adjustment aftermost week, started off shakily on a folky booty on Avicii's "Wake Me Up," assuredly alive up about center through. Connick said he absolutely admired the way she'd taken the song in a "completely altered direction," calling it "smart" and "complex." Urban disagreed, adage what fabricated Avicii's adaptation so acceptable was the admixture of folk with a "driving dance" element, after which the song "didn't work" for him.

Lopez said she'd detected abhorrence in Rose's achievement for the aboriginal time, and gave her a address about not absolution it affect her aback she was onstage. "That's allotment of appearance business," she said. "There are consistently activity to be bodies who acquaint you you didn't do well" — or times aback you blend up — "but you've got to appear aback the abutting time and not let it affect you."

Sam Woolf could apparently accept acclimated Lopez's lecture, too. He put on his airy little hat and sang "We Are Young" by Fun, but didn't attending like he was accepting too abundant of it. Urban and Lopez anticipation he'd done a acceptable job, but Connick with alone abnormal larboard in the show, apprenticed him to get over his bashfulness and "own it."

I anticipate Nobilette could be acknowledgment this week. Who do you anticipate should be beatific home?
