Thoughts on tonight's performances: Brynn: A little surprised and confused that she opened tonight's show. I guess they saw the success they had with Kyla and decided to chance it with her, too. It was a good song, and she sounded just gorgeous on it. Probably my favorite performance of hers. But I hope going first doesn't hurt her. Kaleb & Pryor: Holy shit. My ears! This sounded like a mess. I really hope no one would ever have expected a good performance out of them, because that was just tragic. Surprisingly, this duet is getting a lot of retweets, which I don't understand, because it was just such a mess. Jackie: This song took down Amanda Brown in season three. I think that it will also take down Jackie F. (now simply known as "Jackie" with Jackie V. gone). There were some brilliant spots in it, but I think that most of it was unpleasant. Whitesnake was definitely the wrong choice of her, and I definitely think she might be one of the ones instantly eliminated tomorrow. Kyla & Spensha: This was nice when they were singing individually, but I really hated the mashup whenever they sang together, because a two songs together didn't sound good at all. For one thing, Kelsea Johnson already put "Rise Up" to bed in the Knockouts. But individually, Kyla was good, and this was probably the most gorgeous I've ever heard Spensha. Rayshun: This was not good. As has been said, he was just exhausting to watch. He just found it all over the stage again, barely seeing anything well, and I was just left wanting his performance to be over. If this takes him out tomorrow, I will be so thrilled. Spensha: This was just okay to me. Mary Sarah from season ten and Casi Joy from season twelve both did it better than Spensha did. Still, with Blake so obsessed with her, she might make either the finale right away or the middle three, at the very least. Kyla: A very good job. She started out very well by keeping it soft, and then building it up to the moment of high intensity at just the right time. I'm going to say that she probably has the finale on lock, at this point. Britton & Brynn: This one was actually good. Not only do they do their individual Parts while, but they only sang both songs together once, and manage it sound good. Their harmonies were tight and clean, and their voices went very well together. A very good job by both of them. Kaleb: So last week, I literally begged both Kaleb and Brynn to play the God card. I really wanted one or both of them to do this to guarantee Kelly at least one place in the finale. I'm so glad at least he listened. I found it to be a good song choice and a fair performance. A little boring, but not bad at all. I don't think he's instantly finale-bound, but he might get to the middle three, at the very least. Rayshun & Jackie: Jackie's parts of their duet were good. Rayshun's parts were not. That's really all there is to be said here. Pryor: No two ways about it. He totally, completely butchered a classic Eric Clapton song. It was terrible, but of course, Blake finds a way to make something light of it, and that'll probably spurn his army into voting for him, anyway, even though he sucks. Britton: Great way to end the night! Taking on one of his idols and doing his song well was the best way to go. I enjoyed it from start to finish and thought that he didn't excellent job. I really hope he gets the public vote tomorrow. I will be voting like mad all night to make sure he does. It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow night. But I will be updating iTunes results all night.

It's in the thread for tomorrow's episode. Four people are eliminated -- two instantly by America's votes, two from losing the final Instant Save.

Tonight's song choices: Team Adam Rayshun: "Imagine" by The Beatles Team Alicia Britton: "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen Jackie: "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake Team Kelly Brynn: "What the World Needs Now is Love" by Burt Bacharach Kaleb: "It is Well with My Soul" by Horatio Spafford Team Blake Kyla: "Let it Be" by The Beatles Pryor: "Change the World" by Eric Clapton Spensha: "My Church" by Maren Morris Make of these what you will.

When Billie was last here.

Of course they thought it was brainwashing. They didn't know about the DID at the time. Now he's just under fire for taking advantage of it. And Kate did call him out over his treatment of Vivian, so no, I don't think we're supposed to feel sorry for him there.

Um . . . except he pretty much called it what it was this time. Like I said back when it happened, he knows what's what this time. I don't think he wants to risk an uproar like he got with Ford and Tess.

Yes. And he returns while also helping Theresa return.

I don't like this news at all. But Stephen really shouldn't have opened his mouth. Ken might be punishing him for that.

Carly did hire Shawn, but he missed by a wide mile. He hit somewhere else on the terrace. It was later revealed that Ava had indeed been the one to pull the trigger.

She did, but Olivia had already said that before mentioning what was done to her personally. Back in 2013, she took a sniper's bullet from Ava that was meant for Franco. It almost killed her.

But no work could be done for Gabi unless a reason was given to get started, and Abigail knew that. That's why she wanted to confess immediately.

We don't even know for sure whether or not Billy is going, do we? We should all just calm down until we know more.

You do know that Abigail killed Andre in self-defense, right? That typically gets someone off instantly. I'm actually surprised (and actually a bit sickened) that more of you aren't coming down on him. Seriously! Abigail wanted to do the right thing. She wanted to confess so that Gabi wouldn't stay in prison for something she didn't do. Yet Chad gets a total pass for his rather lackadaisical attitude about that? For Pete's sake! It's like Abigail is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't with you people! Nothing she does can ever be enough!
