Meaghan Markert, Tiffany Evans & Maridel Terciano
The first returning Junior Singer tonight was Meghan Markert, who performed "Reflection." "Voice of an angel. I'll give you 4 stars because I've been touched by an angel," raved Naomi Judd. Adding, "The voice I want to hear when I enter heaven," Ben Stein gave her 5 stars. Carol Leifer gave Meghan 4 stars, saying, "You are so talented." Tyrese also gave Meghan 4 stars.
Second up was little Tiffany Evans, who sang "There's a Winner in You." All four judges gave Tiffany a perfect score, 5 stars, and enthusiastic compliments. Naomi Judd called her performance "galvanizing, stupendous, astounding." "Cannot argue with perfection," put in Ben Stein. Carol Leifer called Tiffany "a Whitney Houston in the making," and Tyrese told her, "you are off the hook!"
Maridel Terciano, the third Junior Singer, performed "When You Believe." The judges agreed that Tiffany was a very tough act to follow. Noting that the decision was very difficult, Naomi Judd gave Maridel 5 stars. Ben Stein gave her 4 stars and encouraging words: "I will help you pay for your graduate school in music myself." Reminding Maridel that "the biggest stars in the world who started on this show weren't the winners," Tyrese also gave her 4 stars.
The judges favored Tiffany with a perfect 20 stars, and the home audience agreed with their decision. With a score of 35 stars, Tiffany Evans won the Junior Singer Semifinals and will advance to the Finals on Thursday, February 6.
