The judges and the contestants are about to face the ultimate test, as they go through a series of challenges designed by the judges. It’s a crucial moment for both, and everyone is eager to see who will make it to the LIVE SHOW.
All the contestants have to give their best of the best to make it further in the show.
The first challenge brought in by the judges was the “Chorus Line Challenge” where 5 contestants had to perform, they got one chance to stand above all.
As Kyle said it best,” Do something we must keep this person in the contest”.
The challenge is such that five people have to perform the same song and the one who outshines everyone will make it to the show, while the one who couldn’t will be put on notice. Out of all the ones who have been put on notice all of them at last, three of them will be eliminated.

Addicted To You (Avicii)
The third group of performers to take the stage were Olivia Britton, Natasha Rose, Drea Onmade, Ivana Ilic, and Cynthia Negash. They performed the song “Addicted To You” by Avicii.
Although the performance was almost perfect, unfortunately, Cynthia Negash did not make it to the list of successful performers. However, the other four contestants – Olivia, Drea, Ivana, and Natasha – were able to advance to the next round. The addition of the light show and the blank spot of Cynthia forgetting the lyrics made the competition more disheartening and thrilling for the performers on stage.
