Daniel and Britt jived on 'King Creole' at Elvis Presley night live performance.

Their performance was overall good and received both audible as well as sign-language appreciation from judges and the audience. The panelists seemed to choose the safe comment. Derek Hough commented Daniel was "in character from start to finish, but his free arm was a little sloppy". On the other hand, Carrie Ann thought that it was hard to perform the song without being able to hear it. Well, three of the judges went with giving 7 and one 8, making them reach an overall of 29/40.
