The top three finalists will compete in three rounds tonight. The first song is one that they chose on their own to dedicate to their home town. The second song is selected by mentor Scott Borchetta and the third song is selected by the judges.
In the wonderful American Idol tradition we were all brought to tears as we watched the top 4 finalists get the heroes welcome and rock star treatment in the home town. It's always an emotional experience for the finalists as well as the audience.
The show got off to an amazing start as MacKenzie's bland and generic performance of Hallelujah turned out to be the last time we need to hear him. He was finally the lowest vote getter this week and he has officially been eliminated from the competition. With him out of the way, we can now enjoy a close race between talented artists.
Dalton performed Calling You, Dancing In The Dark and Everybody Wants To Rule The World. What he lacks in vocal range he completely makes up for with his outstanding ability to interpret song lyrics. In addition, he knows how to re-imagine a song and make it more interesting than the original. And on top of that, he looks great in eye liner.
Trent utilized every last bit of his impressive vocal range on Tennessee Whiskey, Drink You Away and Waiting Game. He is great performer with stage presence that can be sweet and charming at one moment and then desperately passionate the next. He also has a great sense of style.
La'Porsha is destined to be the artist who will be for this generation what Aretha Franklin and Mary J. Blige were for theirs. She gave every last drop of her diva being to Glory, Stay With Me and Hello. Her voice is powerful and she makes you believe every word that she is saying. She gets into character like a trained actress would and she delivers a performance to remember every time.
All three of these finalists would be a very worthy Miss American Idol winner, but if I have to predict who will be eliminated next, I would have to go with Dalton.
