American Idol – Top 4
So here we are at the top 4 and the theme is songs from the cinema. Jamie Foxx is the mentor and he challenges the contestants to show that they are artists. Each contestant will sing a solo song and a duet, this could be interesting.
- Lee DeWyze – Kiss From A Rose ~ Seal ~ Batman Forever – This wasn’t his best performance but I didn’t think it was as bad as the judges did. Good thing Lee has a pretty strong fan base.
- Michael Lynche – Will You Be There ~ Michael Jackson ~ Free Willy – This night isn’t going great, Mike delivers an okay, but really uninspiring performance. Hope his duet is better, but since he’s paired with Casey I’m not holding my breathe.
- Crystal Bowersox & Lee DeWyze – Falling Slowly ~ Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova ~ Once – I’m loving this, they sound great together! Any faults in Lee’s first performance are forgiven here.
- Casey James – Mrs Robinson ~ Simon & Garfunkle ~ The Graduate – It just sort of was, he wasn’t awful or anything, but it just wasn’t all that inspiring.
- Crystal Bowersox – I’m Alright ~ Kenny Loggins ~ Caddyshack – Way to make the most of the last solo performance slot. This is such a fun performance!
- Casey James & Michael Lynche – Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? ~ Bryan Adams ~ Don Juan DeMarco – This is such an odd pairing, Mike is definitely better than Casey, but Casey’s vibrato seems to be contagious. Casey might be helped by this, but I can’t imagine that it’s doing anything for Mike’s standings.
My Order: Crystal, Lee, Michael, Casey
It was an okay show, but like the rest of this season it was a touch of a let down. I wish we’d had at least one show already that really blew me away, just one show that didn’t make reading diet pill reviews an exciting alternative to watching AI. Oh well, maybe next season? Hopefully VFTW won’t be able to keep Casey in the running and he’ll be headed home tomorrow, or at least to the losers’ wing of the hotel. I’ll share the results tomorrow.
