The third group of 12 singers performed songs from Billboard's Hot 100 chart in hopes of being the top 3 vote getters through to the top 12.
Von Smith-"You're All I Need"-Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Started the show off strong; comfortable on stage; didn't shout the song; compared to Clay Aiken--that's a good thing; top 12 spot-definitely
Taylor Vaifhaua-"If I Ain't Got You"-Alicia Keys
Left Kara cold; forgettable; bland; she could struggle in the competition--she is going home
Alex Wagner Trugman-"I Guess Why They Call It The Blues"-Elton John
Entertaining; Channeled his inner rock star; growled throughout the song; knocked the microphone stand down; he is on the next plane home
Arianna Afsar-"The Winner Takes It All"-ABBA
ABBA on Idol?!; Terrible; gloomy; depressing; no shot of winning
Ju'Not Joyner-"Hey There, Delilah"-The Plain White T's
Randy liked it; ridiculous pipes; Simon was impressed unexpectedly; maybe a top 12 favorite
Kristin McNamara-"Gimme One Reason"-Tracy Chapman
More rock edge in her voice; too safe; she has to improve her image; maybe a wild card contestant
Nathaniel Marshall-"I Would Do Anything For Love"-Meat Loaf
Uncomfortable to watch; not taken the competition seriously; his grandmother liked it; Back to reality
Felicia Barton-"No One"-Alicia Keys
Unbelievable; good presence & attitude; copycat of the original; good chance to making the top 12
Scott MacIntyre-"Mandolin Rain"-Bruce Hornsby
Good vocal; He is growing on Simon; Well done; can't wait to see him play his piano live; he is here to stay
Kendall Beard-"This One's for the Girls"-Martina MacBride
Country girl; pitchy; Simon is not a country fan; could make the top 12
Jorge Nunez-"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"-Elton John
Sounded good; did better than his performance at Hollywood week; born to sing; he is staying on Idol for sure
Lil Rounds-Memphis Girl-"Being Without You"-Mary J. Blige
Brilliant; she rocked it; sounded almost like the original; More of Lil Rounds--hopefully all the way to the finale
My top 3 predictions: Lil Rounds, Jorge Nunez, Scott MacIntyre
The top 3 Vote Getters: Lil Rounds, Jorge Nunez, Scott MacIntyre
I'm 9 for 9 in predicting the top 3 vote getters
