On September 15 was the Second Live Concert and Mary Ann was awarded good reviews for her performance with the song "Todos Me Miran" by Gloria Trevi. On September 19 which was the Third Live Concert, Mary Ann received the best reviews of the jury, but was eliminated as she merited the least amount of votes from the public.
