We are one week away from the American Idol grand finale. We could not be more excited to see how it all plays out."Want to Want Me" by Jason Derulo
Judges' Comments: Keith Urban said it was the perfect song to pull out his falsetto. It was really strong. Jennifer Lopez said it felt "real superstarish" to her. She said it was a good start to the show. Harry Connick Jr. said it was the best he heard Rayvon perform on an uptempo song.
Our Impressions: Rayvon finally has completely come back from his bottom weeks. He sounded great on this song, and it allowed him to highlight his vocal strengths and charisma.Judges' Comments: Jennifer said it was really good. She advised him to work on connecting with the words in the song and letting loose. Harry said it was pretty good, but he mainly credited the band with elevating the song. Keith said there was a moment where he got lost in the music, but overall it was like 'counting steps."
Our Impressions: The start to "Beautiful Day" had some issues with the tone. However, Clark restrained himself in the right ways, which gave his voice new dynamics. Overall, the performance lacked a lot of energy.Judges' Comments: Harry said it was really strong: each week he feels like he is getting to know Nick. Keith said it was a good song for him. He likes Nick's tone and looks forward to it every week. Jennifer said it was great. She just needs him to connect to the words more.
Our Impressions: Nick once again gave a really good vocal performance. He really gets more and more comfortable, and shows a taste of his personality. It could have been a bit better if he pushed it one step further.Judges' Comments: Keith said it was freaking fantastic. He said it exploded when the key changed. Keith added that it was her best performance. Jennifer agreed. She said Jax killed it and it was perfect for her. Harry said it's the best one, for him, that Jax has done so far.
Our Impressions: During the beginning of the song, we weren't completely sold on Jax's energy. However, by the end of it, Jax gave us everything we needed from her: energy, character, good vocals, and a connection with the song.Judges' Comments: Jennifer said Nick gets better and better each week. Harry said it was very strong again. Keith said how awesome it was to see Nick with his dad on the hometown video.
Our Impressions: Nick showed a lot more energy and personality with this performance than he has with past ones. It was touching to hear and see.Judges' Comments: Harry said it was a nice performance. It was also great to get to see his personality on the trip home video. Keith said he wants to see a little more angst from Clark's performances. Jennifer said she thought it was really beautiful and felt his heart on it.
Our Impressions: Clark's emotions and vocals were fantastic on this performance. He really dug and pushed his voice
