Week 8 - Host's Choice

[Carly Smithson]

Through the Fire

Host's Choice ~ Chaka Khan



I look in your eyes and I can see
Weve loved so dangerously
Youre not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me youre gonna play it smart
Were through before we start
But I believe that weve only just begun

When its this good, theres no saying no
I want you so, Im ready to go

Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
Id gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
Id take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire



Do you think you can impress the judges by singing the song I'll give you?

When first given this song i was worried becuase i did not know it but i knew Chaka Khan is a strong powerful voice that has so much soul and heart into her singing she is someone that usually is untouchable. So i decided to take a risk and sing it Acapella. I feel like that gives me an edge over others and it is an edge i think i need and i think it did pay off!

[Michael Bublé]

When I first heard you would be singing this song, I thought....trainwreck ahead, Chaka Khan and Carly? Mhmh.

*Crowd boos*

BUT....wait a minute....BUT.......I think this acapella version and the way you sang it--amazing.I really enjoyed your performance and that was better than I expected, definitely.

[Randy Jackson]

For me, it was OK. Nothing really special. I don't really enjoy this type of song for you. Would have loved to see a more rocker type of song. But you sang it decent. Good job..
