Adam Lambert sang “Feeling Good.”

Jami Foxx was speechless.

Randy thought it was a little too theatrical but still good. Simon said it’s the best entrance of the season.

Adam sang the Muse version of this song and thought he did a good job. This guy definitely has the vocal skills to win this competition. In fact, I’ve never heard of anyone like him. He is going to win this I’m almost sure of it.

Danny Gokey sang “Come Rain or Come Shine.”

The judges all loved it. Kara said he had the swagger to pull it off. Simon called it an outstanding performance.

I am not a big fan of the Gokey but I must admit it’s the best of the night. I thought his singing ability was superb.

Matt Giraud sang “My Funny Valentine.”

Jamie Foxx was impressed with Matt.

The comment twins Randy and Kara thought it was just alright but did not connect. Paula loved it. Simon did not agree with Randy and thought the performance was brilliant and very heartfelt.

I liked this performance. There were indeed some few pitchy spots just like what Randy said but overall I thought it was good. I didn’t get Jami Foxx’s mentoring though.

Allison Iraheta sang “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

She just celebrated her 17th birthday.

Jamie Foxx thought Allison was great and very impressed because of her age.

All the judges liked it. Simon liked it too but told Allison she might be in trouble this week. He said he lacked the commitment and the confidence to win the competition.

She did good tonight. Too bad she is having trouble connecting to the audience and viewers. She needs to stay one more week.

This week is the “Rat Pack” on American Idol and your top 5 will be singing your favorite standard songs.

First up is Kris Allen. He sang “The Way You Look Tonight.”

Randy loved it and thought it was his best performance to date. Kara said Kris is the darkhorse in the competition. Paula said it was impeccable. Simon Cowell described it as “wet.”

I found it to be a little on the safe side. It was good but not the best of the night.
