"Camryn Brooks literally glittering, such a gorgeous, rich tone. Loved how she really sang to the crowd/coaches. So much joy in this performance. Pretty ending," a person wrote.

"Deon Jones rocking the house with some Tina Turner. Interesting choice that really showcases his rasp & stage presence. This was all electric energy but didn't show a lot of vocal range. More of a patter song," a fan commented.

"Camryn truly made it her own and nailed it. That’s what makes her special! And Deon….whew! Smoked that! Tough choice so far….so different," a tweet read.
