I have been watching the show. For me I think James is the front runner to win the show, but now with Ali on The Four he's got tough competition!

The Four Season 2 Week 4 Recap and Live
Blog (VIDEOS)
06/28/2018 BY MJ SANTILLI The Four: Battle for a
Superstar Season 2 continues tonight on FOX. Musician, record producer and
songwriter Sean "Diddy" Combs, record-producing hitmaker DJ Khaled, and recording artist and songwriter Meghan Trainor return to the show's "panel of
experts." Pop star Fergie is back as host.Four artists, spanning all music genres, will fight
each week to defend their coveted seats on the show, as
determined newcomers challenge them and try to knock them
out of the competition.The singer who is the last standing at the end of
the competition will earn the ultimate prize: the panel of
industry experts becomes key players on the winner's team,
along with a record contract and a lucrative spot as one of
iHeartRadio's On the Verge artists.Former X Factor UK contestant James Graham, Hip Hop artist Sharaya J,  R&B singer Whitney Reign and rocker Jesse Kramer  all return this week to face NEW
challengers.It's the first time in The Four history that the
entire four advanced to the following week
intact.  I don't think it was an accident that last
week's slate of challengers were full of middling
talent.The producers WANTED the group to stay together for
at least another week, I suspect.Also, Hip Hop producer, songwriter and
artist Timbaland will be stepping into a group number of his song
"The Way I Are" for Sharaya J who needs to rest her voice this week. When Timbaland takes the stage with red of the
four the panel acts REAL SURPRISED. Ha.After the performance, host Fergie explains
how Sharaya decided to follow the advice of her doctors who put
her on vocal rest this week. However, she IS in the house to defend her
seat.Khaled warns the returning four NOT to get
comfortable.Next, it's a video package of the "unbeatable
four" sharing their thoughts on returning to the show for
another round of competition. THEY ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY. No really. We see them eating lunch. Sharaya and James, as the only originals remaining,
have bonded.It's time for our first
challenger!Felix Thompson – 24 – Monroe Georgia – Can We Talk by Tevin
Campbell – All his cousins play sports. He's the only artist–the odd one out growing
up. He moved to Atlanta to further his
career. Khaled warns that he AIN'T PLAYING NO
GAMES. Meghan is VERY excited because Felix is looking
STRAIGHT AT HER. He's decent–smooth R&B voice and a nice
falsetto.Nothing special, but a solid performer. He ends his performance laying on the
stage. Khaled liked his performance but didn't "hear
YOU." He thought the end bit was
"acting." Meghan begins her critique by agreeing with Khaled,
who gets right up into her face. Tell the truth he demands.Talk about acting. Diddy thinks he has a beautiful, special voice.
"I thought you did an excellent job. – 3 blue rings. WE HAVE A CHAAALLLENGE. But wait. Khaled takes the stage to say that he almost said
no, but will give Felix a second chance. Then he shows off his orange shoes.This show is SO WEIRD. Felix Challenges JesseJesse Kramer – Hold on I'm Coming by Sam and Dave – He
left his super religious small town life to become a rock n
roll star.Working at a music store, he met a customer who
became a mentor. Sadly, he got sick and died.Jesse has his name "Hurt" tattooed on his
arm. Well this an interesting song choice for Jesse to
garble through. And garble he does! Good guitar player though!Felix Thompson – That's What I Like by Bruno Mars – An
upbeat song choice gives Felix an opportunity to show off
even more of his corny stage stylings. He's no Bruno Mars, OK? I think I prefer Jesse's rock
garbling. But what will the audience think?Khaled liked the performance. Can he make records with Felix? He feels like Jesse defended his seat. Diddy appreciates Felix's
showmanship. Sean thinks Jesse needs to show some
versatility. It's "a lot of yelling, a lot of growling,"
he says. Indeed! Jesse Kramer wins the challenge. Felix is eliminated.Alma Lake – 21 – Medellin Colombia – Exes and Ohs by
Ellie King – "I'm a very spicy person!"Alma says. She's the only musical one in her
family. She calls the rest of them "basic." Nice.. She "models" in LA. Hm. Alma's got a huge mop of red hair. Sharaya does not look amused. Actually, she is kind of annoying, talking in a
nasally little voice and saying dumb stuff like "slay
queen."But then it turns out she's really not a
joke. She has a unique, raspy voice. She definitely does her own thing. Diddy thinks she's has a "special
thing." Meghan doesn't think she can beat the remaining 3
four. Khaled disagrees. He feels she's comfortable on stage–unique and
different.OH NO. A red ring! It was Meghan. I disagree. Alma should have been given a shot. "She cannot beat anyone of our four
now!" Meghan insists. "I'm being real." Alma was going to perform "Alive" by
Sia. The audience and Khaled want to hear her
sing! But Diddy says no can do–thems are the
rules! Alma is eliminated.Ali Caldwell – 28 – Woodbridge NJ – Tell Me Something Good
by Chaka Khan – Her mother discouraged her musical
aspirations. She ended up working in a dentist
office. But then she realized she needed to do music full
time. After an open mic, she has spent the last 5 years
touring the world. And of course, she was a contestant on The Voice in 2016. I recognized her right away. Ali was a Team Miley Cyrus member and finalist on
season 11, eliminated in the blood bath after an instant
save performance. She made it pretty far! Tonight's ringer has arrived. There's no way this big voiced pro doesn't get
an opportunity to challenge. Meghan is speechless, "You're so strong, your
attitude is everything." Diddy asks her if she's "ready to
eat."Of course she is. "EAT EAT EAT EAT," says Khaled. Diddy looks over at the four and says ominously,
"I smell a little fear." 3 blue rings Ali Challenges
Whitney. OF COURSE.Whitney Reign – If You Don't Know Me By Now by Patti Labelle
– She's devoted to her baby son. Also, she is close to dad who has been in the
audience every week. Whitney is overplaying her hand a little
here. She's oversinging LIKE WOW.Her upper range just isn't as strong as
Ali's. Hope she's got her bags packed.Ali Caldwell – Set Fire to The Rain by Adele –
Ha. Ali is swinging for the fences. There was a reason She made it almost to the finals
on The Voice. Her range and phrasing are crazy
good..She cuts a striking presence on
stage.Diddy wishes he had a special override vote to keep
both. He felt Whitney did her best to defend her
chair. But he thinks fear got the best of her in this
battle. Ali came to eat, he says, "You really understood
what this is about." Yeah. She's been to the rodeo before,
soooooo. Meghan agrees that both are so worthy. Ali Caldwell wins the Challenge. Whitney is Eliminated. The outcome was obvious the minute Ali stepped
out on stage. Whitney of course is super super sad, as are the
judges and the rest of the four. The silver lining: I bet she returns for
"comeback" week.Dian Rene – 28 – Banes Cuba – Hero by Enrique Iglesias
– He studied classical music and Opera in
Cuba. Oh. He came to this country–maybe not
legally? He had to work a million jobs just to make ends
meet and there was no time for music. Meghan is all teary…for some reason.Then Dian strips off his jacket. CORNY. For an opera singer, his voice is kind of weak and
a little shouty. Khaled loved the song he chose, but he saw some
nerves. However, he could see the
determination. Meghan thought there was something sweet about
him. 3 blue rings. Dian Challenges JamesJames Graham – Human Nature by Michael Jackson – The judges
were a bit negative last week. Despite him winning the challenge, they said he
wasn't giving his all onstage.. After coming to LA, James had a deal with MJ's
producer. Surprisingly, the song does give him an opportunity
to show off his range (there's not a ton of melody in
Human Nature). He is also using the performance to strike a few
poses.Dian Rene – Flor Palida by Marc Anthony – Oh look at him
shaking his hips. But compared to James, Dian is relatively
personality free. Having said that–this performance is more assured
and less tentative than the first. Still, I think James has this. Dian sings the entire song in Spanish, which might
be a mistake.Khaled and Meghan both felt like they were at a
concert. Khaled feels that he's "securing the
bag." Diddy wants Salsa classes after tonight.
"I think you represented your people in a big
way," he says. Condescending much? Can you imagine Charlie Walk getting away with that
comment? Anywho. The audience votes. But before the results–Khaled toddles off stage
for a bathroom break (???). James wins the challenge. Dian is Eliminated. Not surprised. Oh. And Diddy gets a bit of a salsa lesson at the
end.Brennan Villines – 30 – Dixon NY – 500 Miles by The
Proclaimers – Growing up in a small town was tough because
of his sexuality. He moved to Memphis at 18. He got into a toxic relationship and started using
meth.. Oh no.He thought he had chicken pox. Turned out he was HIV Positive. Music has gotten him through a lot of pain and
misery. Today he is five years sober. As he sits down to the piano to sing, I wonder how
a challenge with Saraya would work out because she's the
only one left. Hm. He sings a ballady piano driven version of the
song. Not bad. He would have been a decent challenger for
James. Meghan felt so many emotions! She loved it. "You tore that down," says Khaled. Diddy is proud of him for being so
strong. – 3 blue rings Brennan will challenge Sharaya
J
Sharaya J – Go Raya by Sharaya – She has been battling
cancer–competing while undergoing chemo. The treatment is wreaking havoc on her vocal
cords. They are ruptured and need to heal, so the doctor
has put her on vocal rest. She's rapping an original tonight. Let's see how that goes. Performing battles against fellow rap artists
heightened her previous performances.This is OK. But if Brennan performs well, she could be in
trouble.Brennan Villines – Let it Go by James Bey – This time out, he
takes the stage without an instrument. I don't like this as much as his first
performance. He sounds a little flat. His thing is hitting big, long, extended high
notes, which could get old if he doesn't change it
up."You are the definition of hip hop the way you
perform," Khaled says to Sharaya. He liked Brennan's first performance
more. Sharaya realizes that she sang two bars off the
mic. Diddy felt Brennan brought out the beast.
"It was the best night of battling in the history of
the four," says Diddy. HYPERBOLE ALERT. Sharaya J wins the Battle Brennan is
Eliminated. Brennan was honored to challenge Sharaya and give
her a little bit of a hard time.Tonight: Former X Factor UK contestant James Graham, Hip Hop artist Sharaya J, and rockerJesse Kramer all defended their seats this week. R&B singer Whitney Reign lost her challenge to The Voice season 11 alum Ali Caldwell. All will be back next week to face new
challengers.
