Brackensick received some criticism from the judges Wednesday night for choosing “Endless Love,” a song released in 1994—the year he was born. Mentor Jimmy Iovine said Brackensick did a good job at rehearsal but on the show.
Fans apparently disagreed and voted Bracksensick safely into the show's Top 10. The competition will pick up again at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
