He's a lock for the Top 20--he can sing, he has the sympathy vote, and most of the other guys have flat-out sucked tonight. They won't deny him a silver stool.
I think this is a Keith Urban song (another blatant butt-kiss)
It's okay.
Keith: The crowd loves you, Lazaro. Thank you so much for doing that song. This is a strange thing to say, I don't think that was a great song for you. (but he liked it)
Minaj: What I love about you, you always give us Lazaro. You played it safe, but in a good way. Very truthful for you. You always give us you. Don't change nothin!
Randy: Every time you hit the chorus, there's a sweet spot in your voice. You can really sing. I love this. You're a great singer, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah.
Mariah: I felt like you were welling up in tears. There's a purity that comes from the emotion of your struggle. This is not easy and I'm so proud of you.
The Twitter Meter returns. "Do you agree with the judges?" 51% yes/48% no
It's like the election results.
Cortez was boring.
