Lakisha delivers, but not like last week


Lakisha Jones dedicates her song to her grandmother, who at 89 years old traveled from Michigan to New York just to hear Lakisha sing. She talks about how her grandmother is full of life and how she has always supported her.

She sings "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips. As expected, she killed it... but I have to say, having started so big last week, it was inevitable that tonight would be a slight letdown. It was fantastic - not a bad note to be found anywhere, but it just didn't live up to last week's performance.

Still, though, she's not going anywhere anytime soon - I'm sure she still tops most people's list - her voice is amazing.

Randy likes that she changed it up, that it was hot. Paula loved it and says that she loves Lakisha. Simon tells her that she is a phenomenally good singer, but that it wasn't as good as last week because she didn't come out with that "I'm going to prove a point" attitude. He also tells her he doesn't like her outfit and I'm kind of glad because I couldn't agree more. I definitely did not like the leopard-print shoes.

Loved her. Not quite as amazing as the first (Paula's right: I think it was the nerves) but nonetheless thoroughly enjoyable. It's a shame we have to wait a whole week just to hear her again!

Lakisha is just amazing! I have to agree that last week was much better. She will definitely be in the top three.
