The final four sing tonight on American Idol Series 5. Tonight they are going to sing Elvis Presley songs and music guru Tommy Motola will be there to give his opinion of them.
Taylor Hicks
Singing - Jailhouse Rock
Well The Silver Fox is enjoying this - doing his dance moves and everything. Randy says he was in his element - way to start the show. Paula say phenominal. Simon says in the real world it was a terrible impersonation of Elvis and the dancing was hideous - karaoke with a capital K.
Chris Daughtry
Singing - suspicious minds
This is my hubby's party piece - now do I tell him Chris is doing a better job or not!!!! Randy says dosen't think it was the best vocal performance from him. Paula says see you in the finals. Simon says That Worked.
Elliott Yamin
Singing - If I could dream
Don't know this song - to me it was a shakey start but better at the end, well I think so anyway. Randy says he laid it out - it was hot. Paula says best vocal performance from him. Simon says he came in tonight as the underdog but that was the best performance so far tonight. Shows what I know hey!!
Katharine McPhee
Singing - Hound Dog
Don't really know what to think about this - it's sounds a bit of a mess to me. Randy says it was fun but she missed a lyric. Paula says it was fun. Simon says it looked like a manic audition - for him it wasn't a great performance.
Taylor Hicks
Singing - In the Ghetto
Very restrained, very soulful, very good. Randy says Right key, right song he should make this a record - that was hot. Paula says it shows a whole new side to him. Simon says perfect song - he has just sung his way into the semi-final.
Chris Daughtry
Singing - Little less conversation
Chris just looks like this is no effort for him - maybe needs a bit more personality - oops there it is at the end. Randy says right key for him it was hot. Paula says she adores him. Simon says up until the end it was a bit flat.
Elliott Yamin
Singing - Trouble
Elliott's had a good night tonight - I like this better than his first one. Randy says it was his best performance ever. Paula says she's changed her mind THIS was the best performance ever. Simon says he's come out fighting and he deserves to go through to the next round.
Katharine McPhee
Singing - Can't help falling in love
This is better than the first one - don't know if it's enough to save her though - she's struggling against the band. Randy says Better than the first and a bit pitchy. Paula says she has a lovely voice. Simon says not one of her best nights - it was too over the top.
Well tonight I thought the boys outsang Katharine, she could be in trouble.
If it goes on performance I think Katharine will go tomorrow.
