American Idol Season 9: Top 11


This week, the 11 Idol finalists sing their hearts out. A spot in the top 10 and the summer concert tour rests on this week's performances.
Theme: Billboard's Number 1 Hits
Guest Mentor: Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana")
Lee Dewyze-sang "The Letter" by the Box Tops; knocked it out of the park; raised the bar for himself; comfortable on stage; Simon hated it; Lee's in the top 10-hopefully, Lee will have a moment on stage next week
Paige Miles-sang "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins; terrible; pitchy; Ellen likes her look; ignored the judges' advice of picking the right song; worst vocal performance of the season; Paige's chances of staying in the competition are slim and none
Tim Urban- sang "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen; boring vocals; karaoke; pointless & silly; zero chance of winning the competition; I 100% agree with Simon; Tim must go home this week!!
Aaron Kelly-sang "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith; has a crush on Miley Cyrus; pitchy; came down with laryngitis; Randy's a fan; best song choice of the night--according to Ellen; needs to work on his stage presence more; Simon called it "old-fashioned"; Aaron's safe for another week
Crystal Bowersox-sang "Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin; slayed it; needs to connect with the audience more; has big plans for next week; as good as Pink's version of the song; Crystal's in the top 10!!
Michael Lynche-sang "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge; knows who he is; safe song choice; loungy; over indulgent; got tons of chrisma; Big Mike's back next week!!
Andrew Garcia-sang "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye; ditched the guitar; Randy hated it; bad song choice; sucked the soul out of the song; Andrew-Bottom 3
Katie Stevens-sang "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie; picked a younger song; listened to the judges; described as the "Dakota Fanning of American Idol"; good performance; Katie's safe!!
Casey James-sang "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News; played the electric guitar; not a great song choice; copycat; no originality; Casey's safe!!
Didi Benami-sang "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt; out of tune; wrong song choice; Ellen didn't like it; Kara was confused; Simon was not happy: Didi may be in trouble
Siobhan Magnus-sang "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder; fearless; comfortable on stage; Simon hated the whole show but warned the other contestants to start picking better songs because Crystal is moving one step closer to the finish line; Siobhan's safe!!
