MM does not sound like Ellie. Yes Ellie has a whispery sound, but also has a strength in her voice to back it up so you can actually hear it. Ellie's note and tone are there. MM has no tone. It's just whispering. What is she..."the real ghost whisperer?" Give me a break. She was off and couldn't hit the high notes. MC wasn't perfect either, but much better and stronger. You could hear MC has lots more potential. They picked MM, because she looks like she's 13. Come on, she's 17! She only has 1 more yr of high school, and she's off to college.

@LeeXioshin They were both good...but I liked Melanie's tone better (personal preference)...and whislt I'm not into the little girl singing voice thing--she does appear to have potential yet to be honed. I felt Melanie's tone was her strength. She is not a 'belter' as Caitlin is. I have to listen to it again then as I heard Melanie had quite better pitch...though Caitlin's pitch issues were less audible and pronounced from her audition.As far as picking Melanie for her "look"...I don't agree. She is odd looking and looks like a walking Amish parody. I think they will likely temporarily close or fix that gap, drop the huge bow, and update up her attire to reflect a more current fashion.

@Mikhail XO @LeeXioshin I liked both artists and I feel their attire was deliberate as Ceelo called the other lady the dark one (or something like that) and the other chick had ankle socks, a Sunday school dress, hair bow, and a lisp. Damn, she even skipped onto the stage. Caitlin reminds me of Amy Lee (Evanescence). I feel if she controls her voice, she'll go far. Most people think screaming (American Idol) is what is needed which is why I did not enjoy the Trevin/Amanda battle.

Phenomenal arrangement and musical version of Ellie Goulding's song, sung by both of these talented gals. I love them both. Melanie sounds a lot like Ellie, and Caitlin's voice reminds me of Evanescence. She has excellent tone quality and strength to her voice. She just needs a good vocal coach to help her master the sometimes off key problems she occasionally has. Melanie needs a little more help as well, but both have great potential. I hope to see them in the top 5.

following Caitlin audition (which some people call hauting, but i call it HORRIBLE) i was very impressed with her, im glad cee lo stole her.. and about melanie she has a great tone but im not fan of those whispering singers, the song suited het a lot so adam made the right choice.

I love this Ellie Goulding song and they 'de-popped' this a bit and made it more intense. 'Little House on the Prairie' bow girl has a nice tone to her voice--I would have chosen her too. Better pitch. Better job of the two. Good battle! This show is SO much better than Idol!

@Mikhail XO I have to say, Caitlin sounded much better tonight, far less pitch issues. I still would have picked Melanie, but just thought both were good.

@hrstump @Mikhail XO I agree! Caitlin's audition-- where she ambitiously attempted the Florence song --was not good, very off key, messy, unfocused. She was surprisingly much better tonight with the Ellie tune.
