They had to make this a show with stories and they left off way more talented singers. I gave up on this show after they didn't pick Harper Grace in favor of a few of the people you listed. Sometimes a great voice isn't enough if they can't use you on the show get viewers. Sad :(

This is her audition:

Starts around 3 min mark -

Yard Sale and R.I.P. were Original songs.... How does this voice not make the top 12 Girls?

original songs are kiss of death

unless you are astro on Xfactor

At Wolves so not watching live and just reading blogs, but Gabby already looks like a star. Have to expect she wins, would be satisfied with Maddie winning. Just as long as Adam doesn't even make top 5,he was really bad last night

Anybody watching tonight? Getting close for me of Gabby/Maddie, but pretty much Gabby/Maddie/Cade/Caleb vs the rest

The judges couldn’t save you now, Ada/Adam...

Awesome results to send Adam home. Dennis kinda got screwed going last. Maddie/Cade/Gabby final three where any would be a fine winner. Next to keep up is the insufferable personality Catie. Katy Perry could have cut back a ton of crap from how long it took.

adios Ada/Adam you freak!!!!!

Dennis totally deserved it over the HS nerdy awkward girl

blonde chick did lose votes after it was exposed her and long hair rocker a couple

It's been pretty known over their social media last couple weeks

Listened to Cade's performance a few more times, think the latter part of it after key change has to rank with some of the top performances there's been. Managed to keep the deeper sultry voice but actually hit the notes well

Awesome results again sending the insufferable one home. Carrie week guarantees Gabby through. Caleb's last performance was pretty solid, and Gabby killed it with her second.

Enjoying the show very much. Gabby, Cade, and caleb will be the final 3. With Gabby winning. Although all 3 will do well

All the irrational hate/jealousy of Gabby seems to cement her winning. Not sure if they're turned off that she's a bombshell and Catie the opposite or what. Same with Grace from AGT, only adds to her popularity that people think she's talentless and can't sing

Been a few weeks since she brought out the high notes too. 2:18-29 same breath, and then 2:30 to 2:40 on another

I said I wouldn't watch...but Carrie Underwood got me to watch tonight.

Caleb Lee Hutchinson.... That voice will make it big.

Gabby should still have a clear shot to victory, but Caleb could make it on country radio easily enough. Maddie won't have shot at winning, but she'd do better getting on an independent label

Its Gabby's to lose. Shes got the whole package, just needs to make sure to stop walking the carrie Underwood path. Needs a little uniqueness. Caleb is solid too. I think they got the top 3 right though.

All 3 coronation songs out, this is the only important one. Getting worried about her chances though, Don't Stop Believing is a terrible song choice for finale, and this song has too much going on

As an outsider who quit after Harper Grace was eliminated... I only watched 1 song eash last week after Carrie Underwood sang... Based solely on these 3 songs.

Caleb Lee Hutchinson - effortless and pure voice

Maddie Poppe - effortless and pure voice

Gabby Barrett - I don't know what was going on

Agree on the first two - just awesome. Gabby seems too over the top and forced, like she is trying way too hard.

After last night it's clear the idol people want gabby. I think the fans vote Caleb
