Idol is in the sweet 16. After this week, 12 singers-6 guys and 6 girls-will be battling for the crown in the finals. A place in the top 12 is on the line so the remaining idols better give it their all
Theme: Billboard's Chart Hits
Top 8 Girls
Katie Stevens-sang Kelly Clarkson's "Break Away"; Karaoke; Randy hated it; needs to work on her personality; voice could be heard on the radio; wasn't perfect; needs to figure out who she is as a recording artist; could make the top 12
Siobhan Magnus-sang "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals; Last week got rave reviews from the judges; Ellen was captivated; made it current; brilliant song choice; Simon wasn't a fan and he was underimpressed; Siobhan will be in the final 12
Lacey Brown-sang "The Story" by Belinda Carlisle; boring; sleepy; effortless; Kara thought Siobhan should make that type of record; the camera loves her; Simon thought that she could be in danger of being forgettable; Lacey may be in the top 12
Katelyn Epperly-sang Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move"; played the piano; Randy didn't feel the vibe; boring; wasn't in the zone; marginal song choice; Simon liked her hair; Didn't pull much effort-could be heading home
Didi Benami-sang "Rianna" by Fleetwood Mac; played her guitar; way better than last week; Kara's favorite moment so far this season; Simon agreed with Kara; Didi has a shot of making the top 12
Paige Miles-sang "Smile" written by Charlie Chaplin--famous for his little tramp character in silent movies; didn't work; wrong song choice; too big for her voice; awful arrangement; Simon is very disappointed; Paige's dream of the top 12 could be shattered
Crystal Bowersox-sang Tracy Chapman's "Give You What You Need"; played the electric guitar; Randy's a fan; she knows who she is; she is the girl to beat in the competition; Crystal's heading to the top 12
Lilly Scott-sang Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces"; played the mandolin; good job; Ellen loved it; made Patsy Cline feel contemporary; brave song choice; Lilly's spot in the top 12 is secured
Top 8 Guys
Lee Dewyze-sang "Fireflies" by Owl City; played the guitar; strange song choice; made it his own; solid; good shot of being in the top 12
Alex Lambert-sang "Trouble" by Ray LaMantagne; played the guitar; Randy wasn't crazy about it; getting better every week; stiff; needs to relax and control his nerves; has to get used to being on stage; Alex has a lot to improve if he is in the top 12
Tim Urban-sang Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah"; acoustic guitar version; good job; may be in it to win it; showed emotion; smart song choice; strongest performance so far in the competition; Tim's spot in the top 12 is secured
Andrew Garcia-sang Christina Aguliera's "Genie in a Bottle"; played the guitar; interesting but unsual song choice; Randy hated it; off key; may have peaked at the wrong time; Kara was disappointed; Simon was disappointed for the third week in a row; Simon's patience with Andrew may have ran out
Casey James-sang "You'll Think of Me" by Keith Urban; safe song choice; lack of sparks; sincere; sounded great; Casey could be in the top 12 and wow the cougars all over America
Aaron Kelly-sang "I'm Already There" by Lonestar; has confidence of a 30 year old; didn't impress Ellen; song too big-sang it in a third person; irrelevant; Simon disagreed with Kara; had emotion; Aaron has a chance of making the top 12
Todrick Hall-sang Queen's "Somebody to Love"; gospel type version; brave song choice; Simon described Todrick as a singer who performs on Broadway instead of on the top of the charts; Todrick is going home this week!
Michael Lynche-sang Maxwell's "Woman's Work"; Randy was surprised and shocked by the last note; Beautiful; Kara was brought to tears; saved the show; he 100% nailed it!!; Big Mike's in the top 12
