Maneepat Molloy, "Chandelier": Maneepat Molloy is kind of like the cockroach of Rising Star... she just will not go away. After a frozen performance of Elton John's "Your Song" last week, Molloy was saved by the West Coast, and returned to make the soaring, standout pop single "Chandelier" by Sia totally and completely forgettable. Though Kesha taught Molloy how to emphasize her performance by illustrating her lyrics (she literally had to teach her how to walk onstage, by the way), she was still totally robotic, totally timid and visibly scared underneath the lights. Even though a complete lack of stage presence can be made up for with a stunning vocal turn, Molloy failed to deliver that here, too, struggling to maintain the high notes in the soaring chorus. We can't all be Sia, and Molloy proved that by getting a meager 25 percent vote tally (with yeses from Kesha and Brad Paisley).
