Alone

Oh, Ramiele. She's just way too little for this power ballad—it's like watching a chipmunk trying to wrestle a bear. She shouts the song, her voice goes flat and by the end it's less a song than a scream for help. The judges bail some major water for her by emphasizing that she's sick this week, and Simon points out that she's survived bad performances before. She's not immune to the cold virus, but she may be immune to elimination.
