The third slot went to 15-year old Daniel Seavey of Vancouver, Washington, whose rendition of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" had judge Harry Connick Jr. comment on Seavey's inexperience, but all of the judges agreed that with the right song, Seavey would "shine."

Maddie Walker of Ankeny, Iowa got the fourth spot, touted as the resident country girl of the season. Walker sang Gwen Sebastian's "Suitcase".

Tyanna Jones of Jacksonville, Florida got the fifth spot and performed Little Mix's "Wings", and her stage presence impressed the judges.
