Contestant's Choice |
Bold as Love (Jimi Hendrix) | I’m a huge Hendrix fan, I’m a huge Elise fan. For me, I didn’t feel like it was the right song for this point in the competition…I did not love that. | I know what Steven’s saying, but I just feel like you slayed that song so hard, it just didn’t matter. | I love the Janis Joplin about you, always have…but you gotta remember, you gotta do songs that everybody knows… |
| 4.25.12
Songs from Queen |
I Want it All (Queen) | That style of song is so right for you…it allows you to do your Janice thing in the middle and get into your runs… | To me, that was you in your element. It was natural, it was sexy, it was you. | Elise, you found your stride, you see that’s what we’ve been waiting for you to do. |
| 4.18.12
"Now and Then" |
No One (Alicia Keys) | You definitely have a strong voice… You stayed with the melody this week. | What we push others to do in this competition as far as letting go, you do so naturally. | You have such a beautiful voice for a better chorus. |
| 4.18.12
"Now and Then" |
Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye) | You definitely gotta show the emotion… That song choice wasn’t really right for your voice… you’re not really sure what’s exactly right for your voice… you kind of oversang that song. | You always sound so good and it’s always so hard to critique you… you don’t like to show emotion too much, and it does come out when you sing… I’d like to see even more of that. | I think that song showed your versatility. I think it strung a note with every man across America… but I think you need to take it up a notch. |
| 4.11.12
"This Decade" |
You and I (Lady Gaga) | America, Elise is back! She’s back! That was the perfect song for you, that was the perfect moment. | You did exactly what you wanted to do. You let go and you kept control at the same time. | You took a song that was so simple and effortless and you turned it into genius. |
| 4.4.12
"Songs from the 80's" |
I Wanna Feel What Love Is (Foreigner) | For me, it’s a tough song to sing…What technically happened to you, you never quite hit the pitch right. | You have a powerhouse voice, which means you can sing anything…It wasn’t totally right every single moment. | 80’s songs are 80s songs, but yeah... |
| 3.28.12
"My Idol" |
Whole Lotta Love (Led Zeppelin) | That’s the hardest song in the world to sing, all the flavor he put in that, as Steven Tyler really knows. Dude, you did an amazing job on that – congrats! | I didn’t want to get up, but you made me get up. You made everybody get up. It was crazy. | I wasn’t sure you were gonna pull that off because nobody can pull that off. You made Robert Plant proud tonight. |
| 3.21.12
Songs from Billy Joel |
Vienna (Billy Joel) | You’ve taken it and made it your own. What you saw tonight, America is the reason why this girl is in this competition. She is unbelievably talented…That run you sing at the end, I don’t know of any signers who could sing that except you! | I’m so happy for you that I just want to shake you. | You were all over the place, but you still stayed in the room… |
| 3.14.12
Songs from Birth Year |
Let's Stay Together (Al Green) | America, Elise is ba-ack! | That was showing America who Elise is to me! | God I love your voice, my Aunt Sonia Loves your voice. Everybody loves your voice! |
| 3.7.12
Songs from Stevie Wonder & Whitney Houston |
I'm Your Baby Tonight(Whitney Houston) | What it felt like was that you were boxing with the song. | I know Elise and I know she can murder this up and I was wondering what happened up here. | You know Elise when you have a really good voice, you’d think that you can sing any song real good but yours you got so much character, you gotta find that just right one. |
Hello Elise!
I am a big fan of yours, and I have loved the way you sing since the very beginning of when I saw you. I have played yours songs over and over again, and even sang with them. I love your voice and I know that even if you don’t win that you will be real successful.
<3 a real BIG fan!
one of the greatest performance on america idol, keep rockin.
Elise, You are truly the greatest entertainer in this contest. Don’t let up a particle. Just put everything you have into each performance. You are just getting better each week and for the past two weeks you have really demonstrated your skills. Pick the right songs and sing the juice our of them.
you have so much talent…i would love to hear you sing celine dion-theme song to titanic…i really think you could really do that song beautifully…
You are a great artist dear. Keep the faith!
Hi Elise.
Everyone I know loves you! Your voice is great and you are far more talented and creative than the others. I don’t know what the judges were talking about when they say you do not connect, you do! You have lots of soul and I wish you every success and happiness in your career.
I 2 am a huge fan, I get why their hard on u, not because ur older & can take it but because ur not as u started off they know ur way, way better try Janice Joplin’s Me & Bobby Magee vamp it up!! Ur gonna be awesome!!!! Don’t let being in the bottom 3 keep u down u can only go up from here
I love listening to u sing!!!!! You r the BEST singer by far. Remain strong & i agree with steven tyyouler=
GO BACK TO LED ZEPP & JANICE JOPLIN STYLE THEN NO ONE CAN STOP YOU!!! LOVE YOU
Please do “Piece of my Heart” by Janis Joplin. You will knock everybody’s socks off.
Elise
I just love your voice and style. Please take Steven’s advice this week and look back at what has worked in the past and try to duplicate it. By far, your best performance was Led Zepplin. I loved the way you “GOT DOWN”! Get a song that will allow you to “boogie” around the stage, if possible!
Either of the two Janis Joplin songs mentioned above would allow you to show off your beautiful voice!
Elise, you are an awesome singer! Please keep singing rock & roll songs, because they really showcase your talent. You also seem to be at the most ease with these types of songs. You really rock Led Zepplin music and others from that era. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
Doesn’t matter what the judges say.. You rock.. and you are going to be a successful recording artist.
Period. I will buy your recordings out of all the other contestants.
Phillip can’t sing. I don’t know what everyone sees in him.
We have managed to watch the entire season of idol this year and being from Georgia we have to pull for Phillip in the finals but at 51 yrs old my wife and i agree he’s lucky it’s not you cause he would loose!! Good luck with your career!!
