American Idol – Top 7

It’s here, the first half of Idol Gives Back and the top 7 performing for our votes. Alicia Keys is the mentor, here’s to hoping she gets these kids to connect and deliver.
- Casey James – Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow ~ Fleetwood Mac – He’s not bad, it’s just that it is what he does almost every week.
- Lee DeWyze – The Boxer ~ Simon and Garfunkle – I have always loved this song, and I loved Lee’s performance, I can’t wait for the full length studio version tomorrow.
- Tim Urban – Better Days ~ Goo Goo Dolls – I really thought after last week Tim was coming into his own, but this was really blah. Ellen is right, he’s the soup of the day.
- Aaron Kelly – I Believe I Can Fly ~ R. Kelly – I think he’s strained his voice, it is showing some wear. He did end better than he started but it was not his best.
- Siobhan Magnus – When You Believe ~ Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey – I liked this, it was a really pretty vocal. Her costumes are a bit much, but that’s Siobhan.
- Michael Lynche – Hero ~ Chad Kroeger – I felt like it kind of fell flat, he never really got into the groove or excitement of the song.
- Crystal Bowersox – People Get Ready ~ The Impressions – She starts a’cappella and it is just fabulous. She really pours her heart into this performance and chokes up at the end.
Bottom 3: Michael Lynche, Aaron Kelly, Tim Urban
I really hope it’s Tim’s week to go, he’s never going to be great and he’s a waste of air time. I loved the moment it was revealed that Ryan’s hankie is taped into place, really not convenient given the number of times he gives it away each season. Half looking forward to the results extravaganza, half dreading it. Well, until then it’s back to searching for gainful employment.
