Didi Benami
American Idol - Usher worked his magic with the ‘Idol’ contestants, all produced much improved performances apart from one of the previous best.
Crystal Bowersox was great as we have come to expect, but the promised 'something' turned out to be the piano instead of the guitar, her version of 'Midnight Train to Georgia' was exceptional and on stilettos?
Michael Lynche. went 'cheesy' Randy Jackson thought it was his sentimental side - "Ready for Love" by India.Arie. he was really good and he’ll still be there next week.
Casey James continues to hide behind his guitar while performing "Hold On, I’m Coming" by Sam and Dave, charming but ordinary maybe his smile will see him through.
Lee Dewyze called on the sick note for the reason of his good but still lacking in emotion version of "Treat Her Like a Lady" still he was better than last week and Simon felt it the moment Dewyze’s life may have changed forever, a bit over enthusiastic but improved none the less.
Andrew Garcia. who it must be said had lost the judges took on every pointer that Usher gave him and it became apparent as he sang "Forever" really well - Simon labelled it boring much to the annoyance of Andrews mum who jumped on stage to put Simon down.
Randy Jackson called Katie Stevens "a young Christina (Aguilera)" after her performance of "Chain of Fools," that confused Simon Randy must have been listening to someone else.
Aaron Kelly closed the show with "Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone," and Simon was impressed enough to conclude there was absolutely no chance he would be going home this week.
,
Siobhan, what happened this week she was truly bad - "Through the Fire." She never really 'got it' no control which had Kara DioGuardi saying she lost a lot of ground to the leaders.
Didi Benami looked stunning but her performance did not live up to the look as she sang "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted," Randy didn't get it Simon likened it to swimming in jelly.
But she wasn't the worst that title went to Tim Burton his "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker lacked any soul or emotion and where was Ryan coming from when he introduced him as "Teflon Tim"
But overall the competition is finally coming alive get Usher back again
