Their voices are different enough that each of them has an opportunity to stand out, but similar enough that it feels like it could be an actual duet. Scott Borchetta comes out in a jacket made of 1 million snakes to announce the other two duets. He reveals that pretty much Lee and Tristan are the two on the bubble.
Pray for Tristan. And pray for Lee. And pray for all those snakes that gave their lives to clothe Scott Borchetta. Neither of these little heart throbs are excited about singing Backstreet Boys, which is just a slap in the face to everything Nick Carter has done for America. Harry completely disagrees. He asks them if they even know what they were singing about, and then I ask Harry what happened to him last week.
No one answers. The leather jackets that Lee and Tristan were forced to wear are a nice touch, but everything in this performance screams that two teenagers are desperately trying to sing a song that might make them sound like adults.
Tristan was making sweet, sultry love to the camera. Their voices were strong in places, but this was a huge song for two singers who have so much more room to grow. This week, the contestants are given the opportunity to choose a song from the American Idol songbook.
This can essentially go one of two ways. Just saying. What works perfectly tonight is the beautiful arrangement. What mostly works tonight is MacKenzie. It was a nice performance, but it felt like it could have been stronger. That song is so beautifully simplistic and meaningful that you have to do something to make it even more important than it already is.
MacKenzie mostly did that. Head here for more details. Cecil has a shaky start at the top of his solo, but Katy has him regroup and he saves himself in the end. Not so lucky in this grouping is Cameron McGhar, the cheerleader who knew she had a lot to prove to stay here after a rough audition with "Girl Crush.
That's nice, right? Elsewhere in country, Chayce Beckham wows the judges once again with the pain and emotion that are so evident in his raspy country voice. Lionel still wants "more animation" in his vocals, but there's no denying he's a "storyteller.
Things don't turn out so well for Christian McGuckian. You might remember her audition: she performed "Girl Crush," but her nerves and lack of timing almost cost her the golden ticket.
Unfortunately, she runs into exactly the same problems here while singing Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder and Lead. That doesn't include Christian at this time. Idol 's soul singers have a tough job ahead of them: They need to perform with both power and vulnerability — some pull it off better than others.
His range is insane and that high note at the end really seals the deal. When Lionel Richie is up on his feet saying "that's my boy," you know you've made it to the next round. Another winner in Xavier's group is Grace Kinstler — she moved Luke Bryan to tears with her pure singing voice in her "Natural Woman" audition — who continues to sound like a true pro.
She sounds polished and in complete control on Jazmine Sullivan's "10 Seconds. Xavier and Grace will both be joined by Re'h, who gave us a Donna Summer dance party in her audition, but shows a more emotional side this time around with Brenda Russell's "Get Here. She sings Andra Day's "Rise Up," but the self-doubt and nerves get to her. With just nine artists, rock is the smallest genre group this round but that doesn't mean there aren't some heavy hitters.
First, and perhaps surprisingly, Beane from Boston — the smiley guy the judges called Mister Rogers — takes the stage and shows a new side of himself thanks to his "Benny and the Jets" cover. In his audition, Luke Bryan wasn't sure Beane was right for American Idol , but Luke is won over by the end of this song and the three judges give Beane a standing ovation.
The other standout in rock — and another person who earns a standing ovation from Lionel, Luke, and Katy — is Casey Bishop, the tiny year-old with the huge, booming voice.
In her audition she sang both rock and a classic jazz standard, but rock is where Casey's heart lies, it seems. Her "House of the Rising Sun" is a highlight of the episode. Both she and Beane will also be joined in the next round by rocker mom Althea Grace. The judges don't think she's ready to continue on quite yet.
DioGuardi was added as a fourth judge on the eighth season of "Idol. A songwriter and record producer in the pop music space, DioGuardi worked with notable artists like Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Christina Aguilera.
