Find out how I ranked each of the Nashville Star 3 finalist's performances in Episode 5. Because all the songs were originals by the finalists, I have changed the specifications that I made my ranking for just this week.
Understanding my Rankings
- Overall Look - This is the overall appearance of the contestant during this episode.
- Quality of Performance - Did they hit all the notes? Were they muddled? Not enough energy? Pitchy? Can't hear them?
- Emotion - Did they "feel" the song?
- Personality - This is based on what was shown other than the performance itself.
- Stage Presence - Do they take command of the stage, or look like their mama pushed them out there?
- Song Wow Factor - This is the quality of the song, not the performance of the song.
- Risk Taker - Did they take a risk singing a different style of song, or did they sing a song similar to others that have been their best style?
Rankings are rated from 1 (bad) to 5 (fantastic).
