American Idol 10 – Top 5 Gala

Casey Abrams bid goodbye to the show last week. Who’s off to leaving the show this week? Any guess?

Today’s theme is “Now and Then”. The finalists will be singing two songs each, a modern song and one from the 60’s. Let’s see their performances.

James Durbin sang Closer To The Edge (by 30 Seconds to Mars). It seems like he’s ready to make a concert! He still can’t hit the low notes though. Steven said he kicked that song’s ass. Randy said “He’s on it to win it!” line.

Jacob Lusk sang No Air (by Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown)
Jacob sang Jordin’s and Chris’s parts but Randy didn’t see that coming. There were some notes that he didn’t hit and he still have this creepy way of looking at you as he sings! Hahaha! Randy didn’t like it, but J-Lo said it was great!

Lauren Alaina sang Flat On My Feet (by Carrie Underwood)
She still looks like a bit uncomfortable on stage. She sings great though! A powerful country song! Steven said, it’s as good as it gets; Randy thought she’s in the right direction.

Scotty McCreery sang Gone (by Montgomery Gentry)
A better performance from Scotty. The backup singers really gave the performance a variety and the energetic side of Scotty really shows! J-Lo was excited about it as Randy felt that he’s watching Scotty’s concert! Steven said he’s dancing with the devil tonight.

Haley Reinhart sang You And I (by Lady Gaga)
This is a song that Lady Gaga never released to date (she only sings this song in her concert). Jimmy Iovine asked her to sing this song. J-Lo thinks it wasn’t a good idea to sing this unreleased song. Steven said it was a beautiful song, and only Steven gave a positive comment.

The Songs From The 60’s

James Durbin sang Without You (by Harry Nilson)
This arrangement that he made was nice, but it doesn’t fit his voice. Steven said it was pitchy. Randy said it’s a true mark of a great performer at it was perfectly done emotionally.

Jacob Lusk sang Love Hurts (by Nazareth)
It seems that there was no consistency as he sings the song. Nevertheless, the judges think it was a beautiful performance.

Lauren Alaina sang Unchained Melody (by Righteous Brothers)
Lauren looks gorgeous on this song. It was beautifully done! Steven said that Lauren’s ripe already! Randy thinks she sings like a bird.

Scotty McCreery sang Always On My Mind (by Elvis Presley)
I love this performance! The best song he ever sang!

Haley Reinhart sang House of the Rising Sun (by The Animals)
Haley started the song as an acapella which is really good. Judges gave her a standing ovation on this.

MY BOTTOM THREE


I miss Simon!

Top performances for me would be Lauren and Haley. I hope Jacob gets out of the competition tomorrow, or maybe James. Please let’s save Haley!
