Maneepat Molloy sings 'Chandelier' on Rising Star (VIDEO)

Maneepat Molloy sang 'Chandelier' on Rising Star Top 6 on Sunday, August 17, 2014.

I was actually kind of disappointed by this. She's a great singer, but this was a case where the verses were much, much better than the chorus. This song is a tall order for any singer, and unless you're willing to fully commit to it, it's just going to fall flat. It doesn't help that she was singing this to a toothless arrangement that somewhat undercut the power of the original. She ends up with just 27% of the vote.

Ludacris said Maneepat didn't seem as comfortable as he wanted her to feel, adding that there are so many vocal runs and tricks in the song that it just was never going to work unless she mastered it. Brad agrees with Ludacris on the vocal critiques, although he says she looks great onstage. However, he says he heard too much pitch, which is why he thinks the score is not higher. Kesha is supportive, because of course she is.

But what did you think of Maneepat's performance?
