Emcee John Clancey announced that the judges — Terry Anderson, Grace McCune and Martin Lund, sitting in for Gene Nery — would make their decision based on Showmanship and Technical Ability.
Emmy and Lisa Carter performed “Connected,” a cappella, with true pitch, sweet harmony, and mastering the timing and word patter with polish and style.
