Going into tonight’s show, I had a feeling there would be some great performances. However, I had no idea just how great a few of them would be. Also, I figure I should just get this out of the way now: I’m 100% biased toward Lee at this point.
Casey – “Okay, It’s All Right With Me” – Casey chose a song most people probably don’t know, which Kara pointed out isn’t the best idea. It sounded decent, but it wasn’t really top 3 material.
Crystal – “Come to My Window” – A good choice by Crystal, but on a scale of 1-10, to me, it was only about a 6, which for her isn’t all that great. She’ll need to really step things up on her second performance.
Lee – “Simple Man” – When Seacrest said Lee chose a Skynyrd song, this was the only song it could have been. It was the perfect choice! Round one went to Lee for sure!
Casey – “Daughters” – Randy and Kara picked a song they felt would represent what Casey might record, but I didn’t feel the same way about it. I didn’t like it as much as the judges did, and things aren’t looking good for Casey.
Crystal – “Maybe I’m Amazed” – Ellen picked this song, and she really nailed it. Crystal really stepped up her game on this one and showed that this is really down to her and Lee tonight, and Casey is on the outside looking in.
Lee – “Hallelujah” – This is the second time this song was performed this season, and Simon chose it knowing that Lee would make it different than when Tim Urban sang it, and that he’d have a “moment.” Simon couldn’t have been more on the money! This was probably the best performance from anyone all season. It completely blew me away. It was absolutely amazing.
Going home: Is there really any question? It has to be Casey. He’s clearly not in the same league as Lee and Crystal.
Can Lee make it through and hopefully bring a win home to Chicago next week? We’ll find out if he’s in tomorrow night!
