Amber Holcolm had one so/so performance and one great performance. For her “Now” song she sang, “Just Give Me A Reason” by Pink and the judges were not feeling it.

Angie Miller and like Amber she had one good performance and one great. The judges were not impressed with her rendition of Rihanna’s “Diamonds.” [VIDEO HERE] Nicki said, “she was trying to boost her performance with her body and not with her heart.
