RECAP:
Performances:
Candice Glover is up first, performing her rendition of “Heard It Through The Grapevine”. Smokey Robinson commented that she made him cry with her version of “I Who Have Nothing”.
Next up is a country twist on “Like A Prayer” by Madonna from Kree Harrison and Janelle Arthur. Ugh. Nicki commented that Kree flew in to do a duet with an Idolcontestant. She wasn’t trying as hard and she sounded like butter.
Lazaro Arbos is up next looking for some redemption with the Stevie Wondertrack “For Once In My Life.” Can he do better than last week’s performance? Much better!
Janelle Arthur is up next singing “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by The Supremes. Boring and forgettable.
Devin Velez is up next singing his version of “The Tracks Of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. It was decent, but behind the beat.
Candice, Angie and Amber are singing “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” by The Supremes. Not bad! What is Angie wearing?!?
Burnell Taylor is up next singing his version of “My Cherie Amour” by Stevie Wonder. Not shabby, but not great this week.
Highpoint with Smoky Robinson
Highpoint of American Idol yesterday night was the ecstatic rendition of ‘Evergreen Songs’ of Smoky Robinson cleverly displayed by majority of the contestants, while one of them rendered other top American songs.
