"So after saying goodbye to Jordan on last week&amp;#039;s episode of Duets, things are getting serious - the show&amp;#039;s going live and it&amp;#039;s time for America to have their say! There&amp;#039;s time for the judges to perform George Michael&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Freedom&amp;#039;, and then Quddus congratulates Jennifer on the news of her pregnancy - &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s going to be such an amazing mother.&amp;quot; Jennifer also has another thing to shout about - she still has two acts in the competition! Seems only fair we start with her, then...  John Glosson - &amp;#039;When You Say You Love Me&amp;#039; (Josh Groban) John had a chance to go home this week, which he says was &amp;quot;cool on one hand&amp;quot;, though it felt strange being back. Still, it was great to see how many people were supporting him - &amp;quot;It makes it a little more nervewracking!&amp;quot; Anyway, John and Jennifer get down to rehearsals, but John&amp;#039;s sung this track a lot, so it&amp;#039;s difficult to adapt it into a duet and change what he does normally. Meanwhile, Jennifer says it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;simultaneously thrilling and terrifying&amp;quot; that America s voting now, but she&amp;#039;s ready to bring it by making the song romantic on stage: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to be all up in his grill. If I give it, he better give right back!&amp;quot; The duo certainly do get very close at the end of the song! Kelly: Kelly says John&amp;#039;s always great: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not shocked that you did amazing.&amp;quot; She says it was a great way to start the live shows, adding that it was &amp;quot;beautiful&amp;quot;. Robin: Robin jokes that with Jennifer&amp;#039;s pregnancy, this was legally a trio! But he praises John, too, saying the song was perfect for him. John: John is torn - he thinks John&amp;#039;s voice sounded &amp;quot;magnificent&amp;quot; and he hit all his notes well, but the performance was &amp;quot;a little syrupy&amp;quot;. But he does suggest that&amp;#039;s because of the song. And John decides to take it as a compliment, anyway!  Olivia Chisholm - &amp;#039;Need You Now&amp;#039; (Lady Antebellum) Olivia describes Duets to this point as a &amp;quot;dream come true&amp;quot; - only a few weeks ago she was working in a club, but now she&amp;#039;s on stage with Robin Thicke! But she&amp;#039;s determined to do well for her family, who&amp;#039;ve always supported her (she gets a bit teary, too). For his part, Robin thinks &amp;#039;Need You Now&amp;#039; is one of the best songs of the millennium and thinks it will showcase Olivia&amp;#039;s voice as it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;sensual and loving&amp;quot;. Meanwhile, Olivia&amp;#039;s determined to show she&amp;#039;s not just a &amp;quot;soft-voiced girl&amp;quot; - she has got power and confidence. Robin thinks this could be her best performance yet! After the duet, Olivia explains that she just wants the chance to develop some more with Robin. John: John says he thinks of R&amp;amp;B and country as cousins, so he&amp;#039;s pleased that Olivia sang country tonight - &amp;quot;It was fun!&amp;quot; Kelly: Kelly says Olivia has a &amp;quot;beautiful tone&amp;quot;, but she admits that - perhaps because of notes - she was &amp;quot;pretty pitchy&amp;quot;. She ends on a good note though - she thinks the song choice was &amp;quot;cool&amp;quot;. Jennifer: Jennifer thinks Olivia &amp;quot;looks like a million bucks&amp;quot; and made a great song choice - it showed her diversity. She does agree with Kelly that there was some pitchiness, probably because of nerves, but says everyone struggles with that. &amp;quot;I think you did a wonderful job,&amp;quot; she concludes.  Jason Farol - &amp;#039;Mercy&amp;#039; (Duffy) Kelly says last week - which saw both of her acts in the bottom two - &amp;quot;sucked&amp;quot;. Pretty blunt! But now that it&amp;#039;s up to America, will Jason be safe? He reveals that his parents have been handing out flyers, so maybe that&amp;#039;ll help! We get to see Kelly mentoring Jason, and he admits that she often hits notes and makes it look easy! He even reveals she used to intimidate him... not any more, though. Kelly, meanwhile, is excited America is voting: &amp;quot;I think they will choose wisely.&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;ll see soon enough! Jennifer: Jennifer&amp;#039;s been won over! She jokes that teenage girls will be voting because Jason is &amp;quot;so cute and so fun&amp;quot;. Plus she was pleased to see him letting loose and &amp;quot;getting a little sexy&amp;quot;. Robin: Robin does a little flirting with Kelly! But he also says that Jason did a &amp;quot;great job&amp;quot; of the performance. John: John says he can see that Jason is having fun on stage, but he warns that sometimes his dancing doesn&amp;#039;t feel &amp;quot;completely natural&amp;quot;. Ouch! But Kelly insists Jason is improving.  Bridget Carrington - &amp;#039;Halo&amp;#039; (Beyonc\u00E9) Bridget&amp;#039;s been home - but she admits that she basically started crying when she went back to work! This week she&amp;#039;s going to be singing &amp;#039;Halo&amp;#039;, and the rehearsals are certainly going well, as John says that Beyonc\u00E9 will be proud! But backstage he points out that the pressure is on - will Bridget cope with it? Bridget&amp;#039;s determined not to be the next girl to go home and thinks people will be &amp;quot;very surprised&amp;quot; by her performance. After she&amp;#039;s sung, Quddus asks what she thinks America is looking for. &amp;quot;I hope they&amp;#039;re looking for me!&amp;quot; she jokes. Robin: Robin describes the performance as &amp;quot;very nice&amp;quot; and praises the song choice, adding that he thinks Bridget got better as she went along. He adds that Bridget sings with such passion and power that he always feels like he&amp;#039;s going on a &amp;quot;wonderful journey&amp;quot; when she performs. Jennifer: Jennifer points out that there were some problems with &amp;quot;pitch articulation&amp;quot;, but acknowledges that it&amp;#039;s hard to master that and do &amp;quot;crazy runs&amp;quot; at the same time. She also praises Bridget for singing up high, as she&amp;#039;s been waiting for her to do something &amp;quot;brighter&amp;quot;. Kelly: Kelly was a little critical of Bridget last week, but this time she praises her: &amp;quot;I loved it!&amp;quot; She also congratulates Bridget and Robin on the choice of song.  J Rome - &amp;#039;Without You&amp;#039; (Usher &amp;amp; David Guetta) J Rome was top again last week, and Jennifer thinks he&amp;#039;ll continue being successful if he&amp;#039;s just himself. As they rehearse, J Rome sweetly links the lyrics of &amp;#039;Without You&amp;#039; to Jennifer - isn&amp;#039;t that sweet? He explains that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;forever grateful&amp;quot; to Jennifer for giving him this opportunity and believing in him - now he just hopes America will believe in him too!  John: John says J Rome always delivers a good performance, but he also says that it was one of his weaker vocal performances - especially the low parts. The high stuff &amp;quot;sounded wonderful&amp;quot; - plus, of course, J Rome looks great! Robin: Robin loves J Rome and always enjoys watching him perform, but he also admits that he loved watching Jennifer &amp;quot;drop it like it&amp;#039;s hot&amp;quot;! Kelly: Kelly joked last week that she enjoyed J Rome so much she wanted to throw her shoe at him... and she&amp;#039;s brought her heels this week! After flinging her footwear, Kelly says J Rome is &amp;quot;so ridiculous&amp;quot;. She admits that the beginning wasn&amp;#039;t great - it was either pitchy, or she couldn&amp;#039;t hear him - but apart rom that it was great. And she wants to come to one of his concerts? So that&amp;#039;s that for our first live show, and the artist&amp;#039;s fates lie in the viewers&amp;#039; hands. Who will be going through and who will be going home? We&amp;#039;ll find out when Duets returns next Thursday (July 5) at 8/7c on ABC! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
