The second set of the top 24 takes the stage for solos.
Big songs are hard, friends.
Sometimes it pays off (hi, Ada Vox and Effie) and sometimes it doesnt.

Take a year offAmerican Idoland the talent shows up.
The judges like her, though, which isnt surprising because they areso nicethis season.
Its having its own adventure while he sings, and Im just like…following it around.
Performances like that typically dont make it out of the Top 24.
And the judges took note and realized that Maddie is 100 percent here for a win.
With that voice, I dont think theres a problem with that.
Taking on Feeling Good is a clear path to victory.
There may have been a couple off notes, but Effie is an incredible talent.
Alyssa Raghu, Stay
Alyssa is an amazing singer.
Alyssa is also 15-years-old (jk, shejustturned sixteen).
In five years, I bet this would have been a show-stopping performance.
Shes one of the greatest vocalists we currently have.
Thats taking nothing away from Alyssa because can you imagine being this talented at 15?
Marcios turn of Natalie Coles Inseparable is one of those performances because its equal parts emotional and technically powerful.
Marcio has such a raw talent.
Also, I screamed when it panned to his kid and the baby had spit up.
Mara Justine, Run To You
Ahhhhh, Mara.
Mara, Mara, Mara.
I want her to succeed because being that young with that voice is SOMETHING else.
With that being said, forany age, that performance of Run to You is incredible.
Jurnee, Flashlight
So, real talk, Jurnee looks like a superstar.
If Jurnee survives the Top 24, she could really thrive with a solid song that lets hertrulyshine.
Shannon OHara, All I Ask
Hoo boy.
Its a night for big songs, yall!
I cant say that Shannon particularly met the challenge, which is unfortunate because Shannons voice is killer.
Ron Bultongez, Dancing on My Own
In certain moments, Rons voice is fire.
But Im going to be transparent.
Thats the same impression that seemed to come from Ron tonight.
