The critics at country music blog the9513 seems to agree:
10:15 - Matt C: Wrap-up:
We didn’t learn anything new this week, so, nothing has changed from my perspective. I’m still intrigued by Shawn Mayer and am starting to come around to Ashlee Hewitt, but neither one has delivered the sensational performance that could bring me around.
Best Performance: Shawn Mayer, “Before He Cheats.”
Worst Performance: Laura & Sophie, “Picture to Burn.”
Some other comments:
Matt C: Shawn’s version had a lot more personality than the average Carrie Underwood song. Unfortunately, Shawn’s an average vocalist competing with an iconic performance by a great vocalist.
I'm sure Mario will disagree with the reference to Carrie as a "great" vocalist) lol!!
