Contestant: Vincent “Vince” Powell (Papa Smurf) Song: Boyz II Men’s “End Of The Road” This guy went last. It wasn’t as good as last week, but it was good enough. He’s in the Top 10. However, the judges didn’t seem … Continue reading →

Contestant: Devin Velez Song: Perry Como’s “It’s Impossible” and “Somos Novios” Devin went next to last, with Vincent closing the show. I believe he has probably done enough to make it. But it’s a pretty tight contest tonight, just like … Continue reading →
