LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The road to SUNDAY BEST is winding to the home-stretch! During last night's episode, Joliet, Illinois native Jermaine Sellers learned that his quest for the title SUNDAY BEST had come to an end. That's when the two finalists Shari Addison (Chicago, Illinois) and Crystal Aikin (Tacoma, Washington) went back to work as they proceeded to give their all in hopes of earning the title SUNDAY BEST. Both were given the opportunity to perform two "Judges' Choice" songs. Shari performed "Ain't No Need to Worry," originally performed by The Winans and Anita Baker and "We Need a Word From the Lord" originally performed by Thomas Whitfield. Crystal answered with "Optimistic" originally performed by Sounds of Blackness and her version of Yolanda Adams' "Even Me."
