Supporters literally “burned the midnight oil” on Sunday to ensure the advancement of the
Guyana-born, “Rising Star,” contender, Lisa Punch.
Punch, who participated in a head-to-head duel with fellow contestant Alice Lee, scored an initial three per cent less during her performance of “Perfect,” a song by American musician, Pink.
However, due to the mechanism of saving one “Rising Star” contestant, West Coast voters pushed Lisa Punch into the next round.
Punch, scored 66 per cent during the live portion, but scored 67.43% from the West Coast audience. While it still came short of the 68% Lee received from the West Coast, it was the largest percentage scored by any of the contestants eligible for a save.
While Lee received right swipes from all three experts, Brad Paisley, Ludacris and Kesha, Punch only received a positive vote from one (Kesha).
Of the six contestants involved in head-to-head “duels” last week, three would be crowned winners and automatically promoted to the next level based on their initial performance.
Alice Lee, Megan Tibbits and Jesse Kinch were the first three to claim a quarterfinal spot. The New York-based Guyanese gained the fourth spot to advance to the next round of the competition.
“Thank you guys so much!!! Guys you can still keep me in this competition! You can stay up till 12 and vote same time with the West Coast! Let us raise the wall!” Punch wrote via her Facebook page
She is expected to return to stage, for the quarterfinals of the competition, in the next two weeks.
