Judges comments on Dixon's performance of September by Earth, Wind and Fire.

"You sound good but it was not exciting like we would have liked," Jackson says after Dixon turns the tune into a mournful piano ballad. Tyler says he wishes Dixon had picked a song that showed off his voice a little more.

Meanwhile former Smokey Mountain member, Jeffrey Hidalgo posted on his tweeter account: Man, I was literally in tears as Colton sang his final song and offered it to God. I hate it when nice guys get eliminated.
