- Jessica Sanchez is the next American Icon
-
Short video packages before the performances: Catie on receiving good and hateful messages on social media; Jonny took a ballet class like Katy suggested; Cade on small town life; Gabby shared about singing in a gospel choir; Maddie on her influences; Jurnee shared about being cut from a previous season of Idol. We see a clip from her audition; Marcio talks about his life in Compton.
- Katy said that she and her mom were obsessed with Cade and asked for a lock of his hair or a feather for her mom. She ended up getting a lock of his hair.
- My source felt Maddie, Michael, Jurnee, Ada were the best. Marcio, Cade, Catie and Gabby turned in good performances as well.
