Singing "Good Luck Babe!" by Chappell Roan was Sloane Simon. Gwen said Sloan made it like it was her own song. Michael loved Sloane's bravery, while Snoop revealed that he's proud of Sloan.
Cameron Wright was up next, singing "Exhale (Shoop, Shoop)" by Whitney Houston. Snoop was impressed by Cameron's rande, with Reba gushing, "Love your voice." Gwen said she loved Cameron's range and tone, while Michael dubbed the performance "just genius."
As for Sofronio Vasquez, he opted to sing "Crying" by Roy Orbison. "It felt like I was watch the end of a million dollar movie," Snoop said. Gwen noted, "The way that you build it and hold back. Incredible performance." Reba added, "To tackle that song, it took guts. If he doesn't choose you, I'll be shocked."
Only two singers could stay in the competition and Michael decided to send Sofronio and Shye to the Top 8. Unfortunately, Jaukeem, Sloane and Cameron were eliminated.
