Nick: Kyle, that was impressive! Clay Aiken songs are exceptionally hard to perform, but you mastered it! You have shown such amazing progress in this competition! You are coming out from the dark and pulling ahead! The song sounded fantastic, you hit all the notes really well and the song absolutely flowed. Keep it up brotha, you're gonna do great!

Stacy: WOW KYLE! I’m impressed with this, the recording is MUCH better just a few minor pops and etc... but really 100% better!! You sang this song so smooth and it was full of emotion and very well done!! You may give Dean a run for his money for top 2! I am truly impressed and didn’t hear a single pitch flaw. I will say you and Heathers were the best performances of the week!!
GREAT JOB!!

Anthony: Goob job Kyle, your voice has grown a lot since the beginning of the competition...but i wanted this to be your breakout performance. You could have taken it up the octave to make it more interesting. Goobmeter: 8 out of 10.

Do you want Kyle S to advance? Don't forget to vote!

Well, thats all for tonight folks! Unfortunately, yet another idol is no longer able to participate with us in the competition:

Kyle N is no longer a part of the competition. Kyle, each and every week I enjoyed your energetic and truely fullfilling performances. You certainly brought a spark to this competition.
