--
My ranking: Angie, Kree, Candice, Amber.
Amber really screwed up that last song, so had to be on the bottom. I have Candice in the middle, but she's better than that -- better than all of them -- so got 20 of my votes. Angie got the other 30 for BOTN.
I hear rumblings that they may still use the Save, despite it technically being out of play after last week. Guess we'll see....
