The finalists are back on the stage, and LeAnn calls Jayron over.
LeAnn: "If you don't hear your name called tonight, will you be shocked?"
Jayron: "If I what?"
LeAnn: "If you don't hear your name called tonight, will you be shocked?"
Jayron: "Um, I'll be very disappointed."
LeAnn: "I'm sure anyone will be, but you wouldn't be shocked?"
Jayron: "Um.."
LeAnn: "Don't answer it. Tricky question."
Ok, the fourth performer of the night, getting to perform is.... "Jayron Weaver."
In Jayron's pre-recorded message he says: "The song I'm doing tonight is called "She's Not the Kind." It's about a girl that I went to college with. And, we just kinda met, and we started hanging out together, and I really got to liking her. And, things just never really picked up with it. What's strange about this is, she's probably gonna be out there watching this. I mean, I hope she loves the song. But I also hope she's not freaked out, and thinks I'm a stalker."

LeAnn: "Pretty song. So, Jayron, what do you think the girl you wrote this about is sitting out there saying to herself right now?"
Jayron: "Um, hopefully she liked it."
LeAnn: "So, anything you want to say to her?"
Jayron: "We've actually already spoken."
LeAnn: "Oh, so it's a private matter?"
Jayron: "Somewhat."
LeAnn: "Ok. Let's see what the judges have to say."
Phil: "You know, I think it's probably the best song so far. The best singer. I just think you're the best singer. Period. I wanna see more emotion, dude. It's almost as if you're apologetic about being so good. I mean it's like. Give it to me. You can bring it. Is that right Bret? Bring it."
Bret: "You're blessed with a voice that just pulls people in, and I want to tell you something. This is an opportunity in front of millions and millions of people to get to bring it out there. And I tell you it's a great song. I'd love to hear you dive deeper. Give me a "Live Like You Were Dying." Give me a "Something To Believe In." I mean, dig in, you've got 'em man, go for it."
Anastasia: "I think your voice sounds like an angel from above, but I think I'd sign you to a Christian Record deal before a Country Record deal."
Bret: "Yep, yep."
Second to last performer of the night is... Jody Evans.
In Jody's pre-recorded message he says: "The song I'm singing tonight is called 'Chances.' And, it's a ballad that I wrote. The person that I wrote this song about, doesn't know it's about them, so really, this song's for everybody. 'Chances' is about the bad luck I think everybody's had to face at one time or another, in love. This is very different from what I've done in the show before and what I guess people have liked enough to keep me on the show. So, I'm taking a chance by singing Chances.'"

LeAnn: "Now, we know you're a police officer, and we now know you can sing a beautiful ballad. So, I'm just asking. Why don't you tell America something they don't know about you, and me too. What do I not know?"
Jody: "I don't know. You got the beatbox last week. You got the ballad this week. I don't know if there's anything left."
LeAnn: "No more trick?"
Jody: "I don't know if there's any rabbits left in my hat."
LeAnn: "Oh, you gotta find something."
Jody: "I'll find something."
LeAnn: "Let's see what the judges have to say."
Anastasia: "Jody, you know I think you're a true artist. But, tonight you were pitchy. You look scared, and I'm worried you're going to get voted off the island. So, do better next time."
Jody: "If I'm allowed to, I will.. I'll try."
Bret: "You know, here's what I think. I'm an idiot, because in the beginning, I wanted to get this other person out of you. And I like the old Jody, man. I like the old Jody that just came out and owned it. So, I'm an idiot if I try to get you to change, 'cause you rock, dude. Just give me more of that uptempo stuff."
Phil: "I think you're stylish, and unique. There's something different about you. I just love what you do. I don't know if it's my favorite song, but I just think you're great."
We go back to Cledus backstage talking to Tamika and Erika Jo.
Cledus: "Do you think the reason you're standing here is maybe a direct response from some of the comments last week?"
Tamika: "Maybe. Just maybe. Yeah, I guess."
Cledus: "Alright, Erika Jo. Do you think a lot of this was just blown out of context? What do you think about it? Now's your chance."
Erika Jo: "I think it was. I think it was made into a bigger deal than it really was."
Cledus: "Well, I wish you both the best of luck. Alright, LeAnn, we'll see what happens."
