Elise Testone

Her Round #2 choice is Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On". She seems to be trying a little to hard with this one. Growl-singing.

Still good.

J-Lo: You always sound so good--it's hard for me to critique. It's like you don't like to show emotion to much. That may be why America hasn't connected with you. There's no question you should be here. When you smile, you light up. It's about being vulnerable.

Steven: That song showed your versatility. I think you need to take it up a notch. Your voice is so good.

Randy: You definitley need to show the emotion. You're not sure what's good for your voice. (didn't like the song choice) Oversang that song. It needs to breeeath. Know what I'm sayin?

Elise complains to Seacrest and the judges that it's hard to let a six-minute song breath in a minute-and-a-half.

Phillip Phillips

His second song is Wilson Pickett's "In The Midnight Hour". I like the song, but I'm not liking this. Phillips' voice is annoying me to the point of hitting the mute button.

The audience seems to love it though.

Randy: Exactly what you need is exactly what you have. We feel your emotion every time. That is what makes you who you are and I

J-Lo: Every once in a while you throw in a little surprise. Spotaneous. Great!

Steven: Brilliantly awkward! Beautiful! I love your character. love it!

Jessica Sanchez

She's back with Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness". More growl-singing. Her "tenderness" sounds very angry.

Steven: You've done it again. Love that you're stepping out. It's about winning these peoples' heart. Come on.

J-Lo: America has got to start connecting with you here. Just the voice ain't gonna do it, but because when it comes to voice, you it!

Randy: People respond to the emotion. You can sing like nobodies buisness.

Skylar Laine

She sings "Heard It Through The Grapevine". Now I'm awake again :) This is great.

Randy: Tonight has shown me something very interesting. You and Phillip have no problem connecting with the audience. Every time you come out it's a Skylar Laine Party. That's how you sell records. She wants it, Jennifer.

J-Lo: We love your spunkiness. I loved the first song, this was good too. You should feel proud of yourself!

Steven: You're like a wild horse that refuses to be tamed.

Seacrest: You're singing like you have plans for May 23rd, which is our finale.

Skylar: Oh I hope so!

Joshua Ledet

He finishes the show with Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come". Yet, more growl-singing. But from Mantasia, it's not as annoying.

Steven: You have stretched your voice to the limits of soul. Everybody heard that! Your voice just climbs inside you.

J-Lo: I still want more at the end. Please, America don't send this boy home!

Randy: This song was perfect for you. You took your time. You let it marinate. The talent on Idol this season is better than any show on TV. Period!
