Mandisa's Elimination

last night was the big country showdown for our top nine contestants and they were lucky enough to get some tips from the legendary country singer Kenny Rogers the ultimate country song is a song that has a story paints a picture of where you are and drops you off at the end of the journey with an emotion of some sort the stakes were high but for our country crew this is your night babies this is your element wear that hat proud country music was more of a gamble for both Chris and age but Keith Urban's song seemed to be the perfect hand to play I actually really enjoyed him in hearing you saying good job on a Keith Urban song baby you have a knack for picking the right song for your voice and I thought that it was a contemporary nice take on the South parish shuffled things up a bit with the judges and it was Simon's turn to deal out the compliments I didn't feel like you connected with the song and I didn't I felt like it was kind of a struggle for you [Applause] Peretz I have to disagree with Paula it was very good I thought it was an excellent choice of song but the nice street didn't last long because everyone knows how Simon feels about country music [Music] that salt was just so peculiar like country music it's okay you're right I don't say it I don't yeah suddenly Simon was back to his old tricks I thought the song was horrible Mandisa to be honest with you I did get booed for being constructed because I think you gonna have to do better than that in the future I thought it was safe boring lazy safe boring and lazy yeah Simon's love life ladies and gentlemen but tonight Simon's love life isn't in question it's yours America who did you love and who will be going home your results are coming up tonight we're gonna play it a little differently contestants
