I officially have my favorite-Diamond White. I cannot BELIEVE this girl is 13. I swear she is the reincarnation of Whitney Houston, and not only is her voice amazing but she has extraordinary stage presence. She shines like a diamond!!
Diamond was called up first and demolished everyone's confidence with her voice. We see several other acts, Emblem 3 did well, Carly Rose is amazing, and there was a little sing off between Paige and Cece. Now I know everyone kind of hates Cece, and I kind of do too, but a part of me really likes her at the same time. Plus she can sing. They both picked "I Will Always Love You" as their song and at this point it's clear that they both hate each other. They both sang well, but I prefered Cece on this one. We then see a bunch of mess-ups and tears.
Moving on, the remaining acts are partnered up with someone of their style. Some that stood out to me were of course Diamond, who was paired with Dinah (a 16 year old who also has a great voice). Dinah started off singing "Stronger" and sings it really slowly, focusing more on her vocals than her performance. She does have a really good voice, but man she is dead nervous. She even messes up some lyrics. I think this girl is talented but I don't know if she can handle the pressure. Suddenly out of nowhere, Diamond pops out with her Whitney Houston voice and kills it. She walks across the stage, looking those judges in the eye, and even sits at the end. Go Diamond!
Cece and Paige are obviously paired together. And, believe it or not, Cece picks the song and Paige doesn't like the choice. It honestly was a bad song choice and neither of them did well, but I know they'll still be in just for the drama. Tate and Willie (the 2 country singers) are paired together, and I was unimpressed by Willie, although it is later revealed that Tate chose the song. I think hands down Tate has a better voice. We also see Carly Rose and Beatrice Miller, both 13 year olds, and they sing Pumped Up Kicks. I really like their version. Beatrice starts out pretty well, she has a nice voice, but it honestly can't be compared to Carly's when she starts hitting those big notes.
We then move the results. There are 4 categories: teens, young adults, over 25's and groups. Six acts from each category will move onto the judge's house. The six teens are: Beatrice Miller, Diamond White, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Arin Ray, Reed Deming and some rapper kid whose name I don't remember. The young adults are: Jillian Jensen, Jennel Garcia, Paige Thomas, Cece Frey, Willie and once again a rapper whose name I don't remember (obviously I don't like rap). The adults are Tate Stevens, Vino Alan, Tara, Joseph, David Correy and I can't remember the last one. Probably a rapper. And finally, the groups are revealed. A bunch of crying kids are called back and mixed together. They then announce that they have become a group and will also be heading to the judges house. There is a One Direction-like group of 5 boys, Emblem 3, a group of 5 girls (including Dinah!), Lyric (a rapper whose name I remember) who is paired with two boys who call themselves 145, Sister C and there's always one act I can't remember so this is the one.
Who do I now think is going to win? I still predict Jennel Garcia, only because Diamond and Carly Rose are too young. I'm sad to hear that Panda is basically non existent at this point. We'll just have to wait and see!
