Stefano and Karen: A Tale of Two Performances

Okay, why was Thia crying? She wasn’t bad! Did the producers pressure her into that arrangement?

Stefano Langone, “Lately”: 18
I think he waited too long to hit the high notes, but that last part was good. And I loved the arrangement. That bass was seriously pounding!

Karen Rodriguez, “I Could Fall in Love”: 15
Whether it was something wrong with her voice, or she couldn’t hear herself in the monitors, there was definitely something up with Karen tonight because this was just off. She should’ve nailed it and she didn’t come anywhere close.
