Find out how I ranked each of the Nashville Star 4 finalist's performances in Episode 2.

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?
  • Song Choice - Was the song a good fit with their vocal style?
  • Originality - Did they sing it exactly like the original artist, or did they make it their own.
  • 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?
  • Confidence - Do they believe in themselves, or are they sort of so so when it comes to what they believe they can do?
  • It Factor - Did they display that extra something that sets them apart from everyone else?
  • Risk Taker - Did they go outside their comfort zone and try new styles, or do something safe?

Rankings are rated from 1 (bad) to 5 (fantastic).

Where there are ties, the finalists are listed in alphabetical order.
