Landell Eugene Murphy Jr.
_ _ Here's his honest feet.
_ _ _ _ How did he do, Bill?
_ What a moment, Landell.
What a moment that was.
You've come such a long way on this show, but to save that kind of performance for the end,
you took Sinatra's Your Great Hero, you took his biggest song,
the song that many try and sing, most of us get it hopelessly wrong.
You sang that absolutely from your heart.
Absolutely from your heart.
_ And I can tell you now, that is the marker.
That was a million dollar performance tonight, Landell. _ _
Derek?
Yes!
You gave me goosebumps.
I swear to you, goosebumps.
It was perfectly sung, perfectly.
The right amount of emotion.
And it was so great because you saved the best for last.
The range, I heard your vocal range, which is extreme.
I've heard that now because you didn't play it safe tonight.
You really didn't.
You gave it your all.
And I _ can see it in your eyes.
You know, it's just fantastic.
Well done.
How, Landell Eugene Murphy, I got to say there is a real good chance that you just sealed the deal.
Thank you. _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ Wow.
[N] _ Incredible performance.
You heard what Howie said.
So, if you do win tomorrow night, how will this change your life?

build a house for my family and just live life like we should be living it, you know?
