Jacob Lusk was eliminated in American Idol Season 10 Episode 33. Tonight the top 4 will perform songs from Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who I am going to assume are actual people based on my Googling (let me guess, Scotty’s going to do Elvis?).
James Durbin
Song: Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey
Jennifer: Great song, great job, great performance.
Randy: Highest degree of difficulty, and you did it.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 1-866-IDOLS-05
Haley Reinhart
Song: Earth Song by Michael Jackson
Jennifer: Felt your feeling in the song. But James set the bar.
Randy: Didn’t suit you. Felt like you were just screaming at the end.
Steven: Not a hit song, but you nailed it.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 1-866-IDOLS-06
Haley’s on stage arguing with Randy and doesn’t want to hear what he has to say. This has been a futile and frankly stupid tactic ever since Justin Guarini did it to Simon in season 1.
Scotty McCreery
Song: Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) by Alan Jackson
Randy: Perfect song choice for where we are now as a country. You’re ready for superstardom.
Steven: That passion is real important. Keep that up.
Jennifer: I’m in love with you.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-03 or 1-866-IDOLS-07
Lauren Alaina
Song: Do It Anyway by Martina McBride
Steven: Your voice is so pure and perfect.
Jennifer: Exactly what you have to do. Great vocal performance.
Randy: Lauren is back in it to win it.
Number: 1-866-IDOLS-04 or 1-866-IDOLS-08
Jennifer is unwilling to say who won that round. What, you expected her to have an opinion? Randy thinks it’s a tie between Scotty, James, and Lauren.
Haley Reinhart
Song: I Who Have Nothing by Ben E. King
Jennifer: Look what you’re capable of. One of the best performances of the year.
Randy: Just had a moment which put you in it to win it.
Steven: Classic moment with classic Haley.
Scotty McCreery
Song: Young Blood from Smokey Joe’s Cafe
Randy: You were having such a good time. We just saw both sides of a Scotty concert.
Steven: Loved the humor.
Jennifer: Really hit your stride.
Lauren Alaina
Song: Trouble by Elvis Presley
Jennifer: Some maturity from you we haven’t seen before. Serious good performance.
Randy: Out of your typical pop country kind of thing. Big ups to you.
James Durbin
Song: Love Potion Number 9 by The Clovers
Jennifer: You can sing anything.
Randy: Peaking at the right time.
