Happy Katie Stevens Day!
I assume that's Harry Connick, Jr., saying "This... is American Idol."
Sinatra week!
Harry Connick, Jr., did the arrangements himself, rather than just offering advice. Huh.
And he's descending the staircase, he brought members of his band, and he'll be on stage playing music for every performance. Huh. I do not think I like this. I do not think I like this one bit.
Sinatra's daughters, Nancy and Tina, are in the audience, and brought Simon one of Ol' Blue Eyes' monogrammed handkerchiefs.
Aaron, "Fly Me to the Moon"
Aaron is totally too young for this song. That said, probably one of his better performances. (And I do like the hair and outfit.)
Kara thinks this won't be Aaron's last week. I so hope she's wrong. (Pending the other performances.)
Casey, "Blue Skies"
This look doesn't work as well on Casey. Nor does this song. I am afraid for the pretty one; this was terrible.
Crystal, "Summer Wind"
Whoa. That's one large back tattoo.
Anyway. That so was not Crystal's genre, but it wasn't terrible.
Crystal defends the arrangement. Need I say, bad idea?
Michael, "The Way You Look Tonight"
Looks good in the suit, and this was easily the most comfortable performance of the night so far. Nicely done.
Lee, "That's Life"
Three notes in, and I'm already ready to call this the best performance of the night. And by the end, I'm standing by that. No contest.
Lee is totally this season's Kris. Whether that means he'll win this season is still an open question, but I'm liking the odds now.
Pool picks go below!
