Lil Rounds.

Heatwave by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas.

Do we get the obligatory Burger Queen flames with that? "Have it your way, have it your way at Burger Queen!" C'mon y'all! They didn't let me down; there's the flames in the background as she shrills her way through the first line, sort-of close to pitch and sort-of close to the meter. Not quite, though, to my ears and my tapping foot. It's all one volume, too, except the couple of low notes where she lacks the power to push them on pitch. "Sometimes I stare in his face" sounded a little rushed, too. It's not bad; it's just not good. It's a bit oddly phrased in spots. The ending, again, much stronger than the first half.

It's not up to a 7, and Sarver got a 6, so I suppose it has to be a 6.

Randy: Aiight, so listen. What's goin down baby!
Lil: I'm feelin' good.
Randy: This song for you, you got mad crazy vocals, by the time you hit the end of the song it was cool. "Yeah, yeah ..." But the front of the song was tortured for me. Not the right kinda song for me, from you. You were rushing through the song. You've got the big voice. You need some space in those bars. You've got that big voice. Not my best from you.
Kara: Beautiful. Beautiful dress. You were the diva tonight. This is your week.
Audience: IEEE!
Kara: If you don't nail this week, it's not the right song.
Audience: NOOO!
Kara: I'm giving some constructive criticism. You stayed to what the song was, screaming in some parts. You're an effortless singer, and I didn't get that from you.
Poler: I disagree completely with these two. You didn't change anything musically, but what you did vocally, it was fresh. A classic song, like I heard it for the first time.
Simon: We could all see why you got emotional. What you did tonight was an authentic tribute to the sound of Motown, but I wouldn't have chosen that song. It doesn't give you a moment. I agree with Randy, it was too fast. You could have done Heard It Through The Grapevine and had a moment.
Poler talks over Simon.
Simon: Let me remind everybody. You are one of the best singers in this competition. I'm dying for you to blow everybody away. You can't do it with a song like that, though.
