Oh my.what can I say.I wasn’t ready for this next performance. Yolanda, “You came to work, did the work looked the part and the anointing was all over you.” I completely agree. Donnie, “You sung the song like I wanted to sing it”. felt like I was at church.he did a great job. His performance of Donnie McClurkin’s “Hail Jesus Your My King”. Ouch!! Tina felt she might have let your nerves get the best of her. Donnie, said “You look wonderful, your voice did not match your look”. Yolanda Adams, said don’t be so careful, feel free, be comfortable in who you are. I still remember her from the audition when Kim Burrell got her to bring it.but tonight.she didn’t really bring it. Donnie, didn’t enjoy the notes that he missed, he have to get more confidence.įrom Lagos, Funmi Grace Odeyemi, sung “Open up My heart”. Tina, said she wasn’t really impressed with him vocally. While Yolanda said she thinks he is great, she want him to smile a little more. He want to bring more swagger to gospel music. Next up, the preacher’s kid, Franklin Davis IV, from New Orleans. I thought it fell a little flat but I know in my heart that she got more to give.hope to see more of her. Yolanda, agreed, saying give more of you.
Tina, vocally, she needed more out of her she didn’t feel like she gave the best of her. Quiana Pettigrew, from Cleveland, Ohio, sung “Great is your mercy”. I agree.but he is young and I think if he is starting from the point he is at now.he can’t go nowhere but UP!! Tina said she didn’t believe him based on his eyes in the beginning, he has to make her feel his passion so she can appreciate the song more. Yolanda.wants him to practice the intent of the note. Donnie said he loved the approach but noted that there is a lot of maturation that is going to happen with your voice. Yolanda, said “Control, Presence, The whole package!”.ĭavon Fleming, 18, from Baltimore, MD. Tina Campbell said listening to her snippet would make her want to buy the song. Donnie, the voice is phenomenal, she had control. Tawanna Tarwin, from Louisianna was up next. Tina said his voice is awesome but he played it to safe. Yolanda Adams said he has an awesome voice, but he came across a bit nervous. Robert Hatcher, from Cincinatti Ohio, sung “What about the children”…. Tina said “Baby, the God in you reached the God in me!!” Donnie, said the anointing that she carried came through.
Yolanda says the way she delivered the song “.We know that you have been through some things”. Next, LeeAndria Johnson, from Orlando, Florida. Tina wished it was a little more stage presence, Yolanda Adams agreed with Tina and Donnie, and noted that Johntae looked happy. Donnie loved the creativity, enjoyed the presentation. She sung, “Just a Prayer away”, I liked her.wasn’t a big fan of the new rendition, but she can definitely sing.
So here we go let’s get down to business.įirst up was Johntae Thomas from New Orleans. For the most part, the contestants sang one of the judges songs.so it made it very interesting. Tonight, 10 of 20 finalists performed, the other 10 will perform next week.
