American Idol Season 9 Episode 29 turned out to be a non-elimination leg in which Michael Lynche surprisingly enough received the fewest votes. Tonight the top 9 perform Elvis songs with the guidance of Adam Lambert.
Crystal Bowersox

Andrew Garcia
Song: Hound Dog
Randy: Not good karaoke.
Ellen: Liked how much you changed it.
Kara: Felt like the mic was your crutch.

Aaron Kelly
Song: Blue Suede Shoes
Randy: Fit your voice better for the last half.
Ellen: A for effort. Really good job.
Kara: Like you out of your comfort zone. Seemed younger.

Song: Suspicious Minds
Randy: Kinda liked the intro. Really liked the vocals in the second half.
Ellen: Agree the second half was what you do best.
Kara: Confusing. Love the second voice, too.

Katie Stevens

Casey James
Song: Laudy Miss Claudy
Randy: Nothing new but another solid performance.
Ellen: Not as exciting as I would have liked but always good.
Kara: Fell short.
Simon: Wasted opportunity with a forgettable song. But a good vocal.
