Judges Comments: Adam: “You are both incredible singers, it was like a tennis match. I’m a little perplexed as to why these fantastic gentlemen are together, cause its crazy.” Blake: “We really can’t say anything about one beating the other because it was really unbelievable. Matthew, I really got to say your dancing is second to none. I wish there was a button that could make you both a duo for the rest of the season.” Kelly: “You two are phenomenal and that is why you are four-chair turns. This made for such a phenomenal battle. Matthew you are a light to watch, Shawn your runs are so crazy cool. But I think I would go with Matthew because he makes me smile with my heart.” John: “The energy that you guys gave us today, the love of music, to see the music in you, I love the fact that you sang this. You both are fantastic singers, didn’t miss a note.”

The Bundys, your harmony was incredible and for today, I would lean towards you guys.” Adam: “Mikaela you are so great and so young, this is a learning experience for you at this moment. The Bundys, you guys are super sweet, I feel the energy.” Blake: “Mikaela I bet you were that much better in rehearsal without all the lights and the crowd. The last thing any of us would want to do is discourage you from doing this because you are meant to do this.” Kelly: “Mikaela the youngest on my team and you heard her big powerful voice, she’s got this piercing tone. And at the same time, the Bundys have this wonderful family harmony.”

Gythe you have the runs, I loved your stage presence, you sounded like a star and I would probably pick you.” Adam: “I thought it was pretty even, but I thought maybe Rod took this one.” Blake: “This sucks, this is so neck in neck, its an impossible decision.”

You are both very intense in different ways. If I had to pick one, Trey I would pick you.” John: “I very much wanted Domenic on my team, Adam notoriously blocked me.
