Angela is not the best singer among the remaining 5 girls. In fact, the other 4 girls are all better singers. I like Angela but I’m just being honest. If this competition was based on singing alone (not looks, race, popularity, etc) then Candice would win. She is clearly the best singer in the competition although Amber and Burnell are my personal favs.
