We’re so close to crowning a season 19 champion, can’t you feel it?

But before we get to that, we have to wade through absolute chaos.

That is all well and good and feels right, doesn’t it?

Why they couldn’t split these up into two separate rounds (perhaps one for the finale?)

so that the artists could, you know, really dig into these songs (especially their singles!

), no one knows.

It’s a mystery.

I mean, sure?

Anyway, back to this season: Let’s get into some singing, shall we?

The beginning of this performance is shaky and Chayce seems to be drowned out by the band.

Still, once he hits those big power notes, his rasp really shines.

It would’ve been great to hear this song stripped down.

Katy thinks that was a good choice she loves how he moves with it.

He tells him to never lose that.

Casey is so moved by the experience!

It’s nice to see.

Grace Kinstler, “A Moment Like This” by Kelly Clarkson

Well, this is a song choice.

Of all the Kelly Clarkson songs!

I guess… we’re going with it?

She has to sell it.

You know, in case you wanted to feel insanely old this evening.

Tonight, Willie’s voice certainly sounds powerful enough to do just that.

The idea brings Willie to tears.

Lionel is amazed at the “complete transformation” Chayce has made since he began hisIdoljourney.

“You are a rockstar,” Katy tells him.

It certainly felt like a Chayce Beckham concert up there.

Lionel Richie wants “front row seats and backstage passes” to whatever Casey does next.

Katy loves how much she felt Grace coming through in that cover.

“Father” allows Grace to be vulnerable on stage.

It feels like a finale moment, for sure.

The judges heap on the same praise they’ve been giving Willie for weeks.

Lionel applauds Willie’s voice and stage presence again.

Katy says she got chills in places on her face she “thought [she] had frozen.”

Luke knows Willie is “ready” to take on the next step in his career.

All four semi-finalists sing one more time tonight, paired up for duets on Finneas songs.

Casey especially sounds great (and more comfortable!)

on this song and their voices sound cool and extra-heartbreaking together.

After the live vote, Ryan reveals that we’re saying goodbye toCasey Bishop!

Who’s taking this thing home next week?
