The Top 7 sing 'Somebody to Love'
The Ford Fiesta mission this week is 'Whoz Your Idol'. The contestants create looks inspired by their own musical idols for a fashion photo shoot.
Jimmy gives his take on each of last night's performances. He says most of them picked the wrong song.
Burnell--got it all wrong, behind the beat, bottom 2
Lazaro--felt like he was at a wedding, cabaret, missed the point of the song
Kree--picked the right song, had a pinched nerve, but has such poise and dignity
Candice, Burnell duet--right song for Burnell, but when Candice came she was so incredible he fell through the trap door
Janelle--competant job, good song but not a great one, in the middle
Lazaro--reasonable job, voice not ready yet, bottom 2 or out
Amber, Kree, Janelle group song--wasn't great, looked like an outake of 'Grease'
Candice--song didn't have the melody she needed to shine, but will be in the top 3
Amber--improving every week, definitely in top 3
Angie--pleased, beautiful, confident, sang magnificently, needs to sing the way she wants to sing
Jimmy's top 3--hard choice but will go with Amber, Angie, and Kree--loves Candice. Lazaro should go
