8:43 p.m.: Jeneve Rose Mitchell sings Johnny Cash’s β€œRing of Fire.” Harry Connick, Jr., β€œWhat’s interesting to me is it’s compelling and interesting, but it’s a bit polarizing. I hear things in your voice that I get, and although that wasn’t the best performance out of all of yours ... your talent is different than everyone else on the stage. It may take a minute for people to catch up to it.”

8:40 p.m.: Sonika Vaid sings Celine Dion’s β€œI Surrender.” Jennifer Lopez said, β€œβ€œI said your voice is from god β€” it’s true. I don’t think I ever got goosies on my face before. The way your voice sits in the music is so out of this world.”

8:35 p.m.: Jenn Blosil sings True Colors by Cyndi Lauper. Harry Connick, Jr. said, β€œI knew you had it in you. I had a hard time with My Funny Valentine last week because I was hoping you’d have sung it like you did this one. This was a flawless delivery.”
