Songs You Wish You Had Written |
I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt) | To me now, in this competition, you need moments...but you are a different type of singer than Bonnie Raitt...and you need a song that could give you a moment. | I felt maybe you knew that it had to be emotional, so you brought emotional, but it got the best of you. | It fell a little short as far as the dynamic range of how you can sing. |

California Dreamin' |
Faithfully (Journey) | Hollie Cavanagh, you're peaking at the right time in this competition...dude, you are right in the zone. Hollie wants to take this...Hollie wants to have the whole thing. | It's just watching how much you've grown...it was really very beautiful. | I've watched you blossom, your creativity, you've come around. |

Contestant's Choice |
The Climb (Miley Cyrus) | Now that's the Hollie Cavanagh that we love! That's the one! Hollie is back! | Wow, that was stepping it up! | It doesn't matter what accost you got, you sing a song like it's going out of style. |

Songs from Queen |
Save Me (Queen) | Listen, I think it was a good performance…I think you’ve been having a lot of good performances… | I really felt you get emotional in the middle of that…You’re such a gifted vocalist, you’re always gonna sound good…I just want to see you enjoy it more. | I’m thinkin’ I love the way you sing a Queen song that’s an old fashioned song with a good melody. I think you did a real good job of it. |

"Now and Then" |
Rolling in the Deep (Adele) | I’m not gonna say it was perfect, but it was close to perfect. | You just forgot about everything and you sang that song. | I can’t judge it. It was perfect. It was beautiful. |
| 4.18.12
"Now and Then" |
Son of a Preacher Man | You dug in for that last note… that was crazy dude! | This song was better even than the first time and you did really great then. | I still think you can push it even more. You’ve got the voice, you’ve got the vehicle, c’mon! |
| 4.11.12
"This Decade" |
Perfect (Pink) | No, it wasn’t perfect, but it was a lot better than where you were last week. | You look beautiful tonight Holly… | It’s not about being perfect…but you look good tonight, girl. |
| 4.4.12
"Songs from the 80's" |
What a Feeling (Irene Cara) | You have the talent…that’s why we say these things to you…I you stop thinking, your voice is amazing… | At the end of the day, you do have to let it go…With the movement and everything, it just felt like you don’t release… | You always arrive, you’re songs…Your pitch was all over the place, I’m so sorry. You got there at the end. |
| 3.28.12
"My Idol" |
Jesus Take the Wheel (Carrie Underwood) | think you did a good job. I was a little afraid of you singing that song because Carrie sang the you know what out of it. | To me, that was one of your best. That was the first time I really felt… | I heard your emotion, I felt it, I just wish you sang a different song. |
| 3.21.12
Songs from Billy Joel |
Honesty (Billy Joel) | I could feel you thinking in your head almost in the verse and in the chorus. You just got to let go tonight. | You take on these big songs an that’s great cu you need to do that in this competition…but at the end of the day you have to know every note in the song. | You’re one of our grand singers, you hold the notes really long and you sing so beautifully and so deep. Tonight you were a little pitchy. |
| 3.14.12
Songs from Birth Year |
Reflection (Christina Aguilera) | It would be nice to see you let go a little bit, but must say you tried to slay probably the biggest dragon tonight with that song because Christina sang the everything out of it…so to come up and compare against it is a little tough. | I look forward to America seeing what you really do when you let your hair down. | You hit your notes so perfectly and so right on…there was nothing left of that song except passion and my hope is that you let your hair down next time! |
| 3.7.12
Stevie Wonder & Whitney Houston |
All the Man that I Need(Whitney Houston) | Dude, you nailed it! | You’re the one—we might have a sing off between two girls in the finals. | That’s why you’re here tonight, because you’ve been nailing it every time. |
good luck. go all the way.
Holly,
I really enjoy hearing you sing!!!
How about singing Memories (from the broadway show Cats)?
You are the best!!
I love your voice and your presentation. Keep up the good work!
You are awesome Hollie,,,my pick from the beginning.
Hollie, you are beautiful in every way. Your voice belongs to an elite and devoted group of artists, able to reveal the heart and life of a song, tempting your audience to feel every word… before leaving.. they beg for more. Truly magic. Truly inspirational. That is you.
Holly, when I first heard you I thought you were great, however the distraction of your tapping your microphone to the beat of the music was such a downer. It takes so much away from your performance & hurts every aspect of what you are trying to emote. Don’t do that anymore. It is not entertaining.
Hollie, we love your singing performences on AI. We vote alot, not just once or twice. We are hoping that you go all the way. Don’t let the judges get you down. They aren’t always right and they knit pick you kids to death. Good luck and stay strong!
Holly you are the best singer on American Idol right now and I really want you to win. Like the judges said just let it go and sing the song and don’t think about it. U watched all the American idol auditions and I’ve wanted you to win from the start. GOOD LUCK HOLLIE YOU CAN DO IT HONEY!!!
Holly to show you that your fans come in all age brackets, I am 75. I picked you at the beginning and am pulling for you to the end. Each time you have been picked on by the judges, I became angry. Keep on truckin little one…an old guy in Arizona is on your side.
Yep he’s alright when he’s saying all kind of ages are watching you and wantin ya to win. I’m eleven and I am rooting for ya all the way honey. You stole a little gal’s heart in Georgia. You can make it girl!!
Hollie, right from the start your brit accent had me. You sound alot like Celine Dion, talking or singing, and i hope with all her connections she contacts you and helps you make some beautiful songs in the future. you are the best singer on the show. Love your voice, hang in there!
I think you were great last night and you have such potential! Those judges were clueless lst night. Best of luck to you!
Hollie, I think you are a total sweetheart. You have a gorgeous voice, and you are always graceful when the judges critique your performance. I think they are WAY too hard on you and WAY too lenient on some of the others in the competition. I’m pulling for you Hollie…you’re a diamond in the making
Hollie You’re great with a voice touched by the angels – Am SURE You’ll nail it as a singer in life Miss whether from Idol or as a career. Just a shame that bio’s a bit wrong as your REAL Home Town is Liverpool; Your accent’s a DEAD giveaway to us – Mckinney’s where you live now but NOT from there.
Hollie, I hope that you win this competition!! You are so much better than the rest of the contestants!!! GOOD LUCK!
Yes may God be with you Hollie all the way through
GIRL YOU ARE THE LIGHT TO THE MUSIC WORLD!!
I believe you can win and ain’t nobody gonna get in your way. You got me hooked from the auditon
Hollie, you have a beautiful voice and show such grace on stage! Good luck to you! Your future in music looks bright and successful! I hope you win AI! I will be voting for you!
Hollie, you remind me of another idol contestant, Carrie Underwood who went on to greatness. I admire your attitude. Stay true to yourself and great things will come your way too. You are awesome and I look forward to purchasing your first single/album.
