Your analysis is right on. I like Joshua’s powerful voice very much. He still seems to be uncomfortable up there in the spotlight, though.
Holli has a huge voice, but somehow, it doesn’t connect. I think she is trying too hard.
Elise is run-of-the-mill to me. I’ve heard singers like her at dozens of wedding and on numerous cruises.
I believe Elise should go home this week.
Jessica is topnotch, and she will succeed with or without AI (think Cat MacPhee and Pia Toscano.)

The best natural talent ever on the show.
Look for a revival of Miss Saigon on Broadway.
I like McPhee's new show, but I think the producers are idiots. I know the show is about Broadway, but they're hurting their ratings with the gay kissing. Most people who see that will not be back for a second look...Smash should be a huge hit with that cast and talent. And without ratings, you get canned, and the cast gets blamed!
Hollywood is full of gay agenda-serving morons!
