With only four contestants standing, the competition gets even more intense. Tonight the ladies sang a song of there choice for the first round and an audience choice for the second.

Over the past week, the contestants went to visit The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Throughout the show each of the contestant's experience was shown.

First up was Amber who took on Celine Dion's I'm Your Lady. If it is at all possible, it seems as though Amber has improved since last week. Her performance was excellent. Nicki said it best: It felt like we were at her show; it didn't seem like she was a contestant anymore.

Candice went with Find Your Love by Drake with a twist. She took a chance with the song and it paid off. It was a great cover and it was just as good as the original. The judges were positive, but told her that she needs to figure out what her market will be.

It Hurts so Bad was the first song choice for Kree. I was not familiar with the song, but it was a good. I think now that Janelle is gone, Kree may be the weakest contestant out of the four. However, she has been able to hold her hold. This week was no exception. The judges disagreed.

Angie sang Who you Are by Jessie J on the piano. I think that it was the best performance of the first round. The judges gave her a standing ovation. Mariah said that " The caliber of that performance was beyond..." The other three judges agreed.

The second round began with a duet from Kree and Amber with Rumor Has It by Adele. They sounded great together. It was an incredibly fun performance of a good song. Nicki had it out for Kree tonight giving her more negative comments than positive. I do have to agree though that Amber was better than Kree for much of the song.

The next duet was Candice and Angie singing Stay by Rihanna. They were on fire and it was a powerful performance. The judges loved the performance as well.

For the individual performances the audience chose one hit wonders as the genre. Amber was first and she went with a song that I was not familiar with. Regardless, it was good. She is one of those people that can sing the phonebook and it would still be entertaining.

Emotion famously covered by The BeeGees was the song choice for Candice. Just like Amber, Candice can really sing anything.

Kree had another chance to redeem herself with her second song A Whiter Shade of Pale. I think that this song was better suited for her voice and it was much better than the first performance. Nicki, who bashed Kree's first performance, loved the performance.

Finally there was Angie who went with Julie London's version of Cry Me a River. As usual it was a great performance from Angie. It was the perfect performance to end the night. All four judges enjoyed the performance as well.

It was revealed that there will be a twist tomorrow night so tune in to see that as well as performances from the remaining four contestants. It will also be one step closer to the finale when another girl is eliminated.
