Triston is a BIG Elvis fan. Also, he decides not to play guitar this week. “I’m going to break out a bit of my moves,” he promises. Gene calls him “fantastic.” Oh Lordy. He’s busting out the Elvis hip swivels. He’s got a bit of MJ in there too. Kudos to him for showing a different side and some stage moves, rather than being rooted to a mic stand. However, he looks kind awkward. But it’s kind of endearing, actually.
In his latest performance, Triston Harper delivers a soul-stirring rendition of the classic hit “Heartbreak Hotel.” His powerful vocals and unique interpretation bring a fresh perspective to this timeless song.
“The people are already in love with you,” says Katy. “You scared me and you scared your mother.” Luke calls it “tremendous” and “perfectly done.” Lionel calls him excellent.

I’m kinda PO at tonight voting because it says voting closes during the break but my sevice station just went to break and it’s closed! You need to put an actual time because it seems like all stations are not airing at the exact time and the breaks are off! My mother’s service is airing 10 minutes before mine. I don’t think this is going to be a fair vote!
