The six remaining contestants honor singer Aretha Franklin's legacy, exploring her gospel roots and tackling unforgettable songs from the Aretha Franklin songbook.

Five hopefuls take center stage while being backed by the award-winning New Direction Gospel Choir of Tennessee State University; in the tradition of great choir soloists, the singers compete to harness the power of the choir.

Contestants go back to where it all began -- church; in a homecoming of sorts, competitors go to a local church where they perform in front the congregation.
