for 4 points. She's on the board, but she's out of the game.
John tries to stay in the game with...

Country Boys"
John... also creative. He got two right
for 4, giving him to 9. Unfortunately, that also means he's going home.

Sonya's next, and this is for control in
the Chorus Showdown.

and artist... 2006, Sugarland. Sonya plays.
- 2006, Sugarland, "Everyday America"
Sonya: Oh, whoa, every (something)'s

That didn't last long. It was
"everybody's dreaming big." Now all Matt has to do is not screw up on
this song and the trophy is his.
- 2006, Rodney Atkins, "If You're Going
Through Hell"
Matt: If you're going through hell / Keep on movin'...
Close, it was "keep on going". Sonya has
another shot.

Sonya: I'm crazy for tryin' / Crazy for cryin' / And I'm crazy /For
lovin' you. RIGHT!
Matt has one more shot to force a
tiebreaker.

Matt: Lucille Lucille... Sorry. Sonya wins
it!

So in the end, it
was the comeback of the week, and all Sonya had to do was
remember the words to a Vicki Lawrence remake. Easy, right? Only
if you're on the couch. More great music next week. Remember,
you don't have to sing it well, just as long as you sing it
right. Take us home, Steve.
