Our pool of contestants is getting smaller and smaller, and this week one of our Top 8 contestants will have to go home. First up is a duet by Sohrab Elyar and Rabi Behzad. The pair’s performance shows them getting more and more polished and experienced as the contest goes on.

Before we get to the rest of the performances, we have a physical contest between the remaining contestants—they’re great singers, but can they run fast as well? Dawood Pazhman is not such a fast runner but he is a skilled horseman! We also see performances by Anahita and Hessam and Nayeb and Nazir. Nazir and Nayeb apparently practiced constantly for their performance, and the judges are duly impressed.

Arash Barez and Dawood Pazhman, two longtime crowd favorites, pair up for a duet this episode. Their mix of pop and classical singing styles in “Delbar-e Janan-e Man” is the perfect combination for the crowd and judges.

And then it’s time to find out who will have to go home after this episode. It is Sohrab Elyar, who thanks everyone for the chance to participate and says he is proud to have reached the top 8.

Stay tuned for the next episode, when our top 7 contestants will perform!
