"North Carolina...I don't dislike it but I wonder if it's strong enough to stay in for the final? #AmericanSongContest," one of the fans commented. "We’ve come to the conclusion that North Carolina was good, but that sounded like every other country song #AmericanSongContest," another opined. "Act 2 - Semi 2 North Carolina - John Morgan - "Right in the Middle" Well the staging is a little bit better that all i can say the song is still so radio Country and BTW I Dont Like Country Sorry My Score - 4," a fan rated the performance.

"North Carolina isn’t doing anything different from their qualifying round. I think he’s gonna get lost when so many others will be upping their game #AmericanSongContest," a fan tweeted. "I still think North Carolina is a jury bait, might even fight with Tennessee with that slot because y'all... #americansongcontest," a fan seconded. "Listen, I'm rooting for a few different songs, but I'm only actively rooting AGAINST North Carolina. This isn't even a good country song. #AmericanSongContest," a tweet read.

Some felt there was hope. Song 2: North Carolina. You know what? This is a much better performance from the heats. #AmericanSongContest," a fan said.
