The Top 10 are going to perform Grammy winning music tonight but only 8 of them will be moving forward to next week.
But first, remember how the Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson came back last week to be a guest judge and to perform? Well after her performance of Piece By Piece on the show, the song has skyrocketed up the charts! The album version went all the way to #1 on the itunes chart for a couple of days. And her record company has released a special "Idol" version of the song so now she actually has TWO songs in the top 10 on the itunes chart with the Idol version at #4 right now while the album version is at #10. Pop singer Demi Lovato performed her current hits Confident and Stone Cold this week. Perhaps she will experience a hefty bump on the charts as a result this week?
The first finalist assured an opportunity to perform next week is Dalton. His version of Radioactive is good, but it's a little less spectacular than what he usually does. But even so, he's still one of the best.
Lee was next and he took on Use Somebody. I applaud his effort to be more than a boring skinny guy with a guitar with this higher energy, rock song, but it was still pretty drab compared to what the others are capable of.
Sonika is easily the most effortlessly talented and gifted vocalist of the bunch. The beautiful sounds that come out of her mouth are pure high quality entertainment. Her version of Since U Been Gone had great energy and flawless vocals.
Mackenzie is just stuck in the boring skinny guy with a guitar rut. He tried to do something interesting with I Wanna Dance With Somebody, but it was just flat and lifeless.
La'Porsha is a genuine artist. She proved that with an impressive rendition of Halo that far exceeded the original.
Trent is also an outstanding artist. He took an old classic like When A Man Loves A Woman and he breathed new life into it.
The last finalist to be assured a place on the show next week was Tristan. She sat at the piano and delivered the most wonderful version of Go Rest High On The Mountain. It was vocally amazing and packed with the most emotional punch of the night.
That left the bottom three vote getters of the week to be Olivia, Avalon and Gianna. I predicted that Lee and Avalon would be going home, so I was only slightly close this week.
Olivia, Avalon and Gianna had to take turns singing and see which one of them the judges would save while the other two would be eliminated.
Avalon went first and performed Earned It. It was nothing special. Olivia went next and poured her heart and soul into Trouble. Gianna went last and gave her best effort into If I Ain't Got You. Personally I think Olivia and Gianna should both have been saved, but for some crazy reason, the judges decided to keep Avalon around.
We had to say goodbye to two very talented young ladies in Olivia and Gianna. My prediction for the bottom three next week is Lee, Mackenzie and Avalon.
