Marshall Tucker - FINALLY something good and a great song.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He’s ruining the song. I can’t stand this guy.
The problem is he takes a good song and does a vanilla performance. He has the means to kill it but always just does and light cover.
Are they trying to put us to sleep?
Her Mom song is Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". Very nice.
Lionel: You are coming back now stronger than ever. Your star is here. Stevie Nicks, my friend. I hope you enjoyed that.
Katie: Great song choice. We love every single one of our contestants.
Luke: A complete visual of your future. A beautiful rendition of that song, from top to bottom.
Madison’s mom has a lion’s mane.
Three songs each--I'm running out of photos.
Her mom song is "Make You Feel My Love" by Bob Dylan. Wow. Subtle and controlled.
Katie: The emotion is so strong. So elegant and so classic and so beautiful.
Luke: Three words: Pow-er-house.
Lionel:I'm going to use three words: Vote, vote, vote.
Laine’s mother’s day song is for ... his brother?
No mother's day song from him. He dedicates "Hey Jude" to his brother, who is sitting in the audience ... next to their mother (?).
Solid performance. Kept me awake, which at this point is the best I can hope for.
Luke: Great job, Laine!
Lionel: America, vote!
Katie: Super cool, man. You've got this. Thank you for coming back. That's what made all the difference.
Up next, the human sleeping pill, Alejandro.
Finishing the show with an original song and ... it's actually good! I don't understand a word he's singing, but the piano playing is masterful.
Lionel: We're watching a phenomenon. This guy is unbelievable.
Katie: Stay humble, homey.
Luke: I'm not worthy to be your judge. From now on, I'll be your champion. (how will that be different from the way they've been acting all season?)
The Final Five assemble on stage.
Seacrest names the safe singers ...
First is ... Laine.
Next is ... Madison.
One space left.
And it goes too ... Alejandro!
The judges are happy.
Wade and Laci are eliminated.
