Daniel Seavey – “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” by Marvin Gaye – Still not down with Daniel’s vocals. The band swallowed him up. He was no match for them. The last note was rough. However. He is as cute as a button, admittedly. Adorable, actually. Keith thought it was a good song choice. Keep doing what he’s doing, he advises. He encourages him to play more with the melody. Jlo thinks he’s having more fun. The song was two low for him, though. Harry felt he needed to swing harder with the band. “Sing that shuffle” he says.

Mark Andrew – “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” by The Temptations – Hey Mark. There’s this thing called melody. You aren’t really singing any here. Mark has a limited range. It works OK on some songs, but I’m not feeling this. Except for the last ad lib–I liked that. Jlo wasn’t moved by the song. She didn’t connect. Harry liked the arrangement, but it was too jam bandy. Harry thinks if he keeps that up, it will hurt him. Didn’t hurt Phillip Phillips one bit, Harry. Keith is glad he’s here.

Rayvon Owen – “My Girl” by The Temptations – Rayvon is so unusual in the very best way! His runs are always so unexpected, and tonight was no exception. WHOA! Is my typical reaction to Rayvon’s silky smooth, unique stylings. But I agree with Harry. Rayvon will need to take some risks eventually. Maybe push a harder edge. Harry thought everything about that was strong. He loved his presence. He wants to see the other side of nice and sweet. Keith wanted more “weight” in the performance. Jlo thought he did a great job

Adam Ezegelian – “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5 – Not annoyed as I was last week. I actually like this bluesy arrangement. Adam is a little too growly for my tastes. The sounds he’s making aren’t entirely pleasant, to be honest. He was made to sing metal or hard rock. He brings tons of energy tothe performance, which is a good thing on Idol. He may not be going anywhere soon. “Perfect song for you,” says Keith. Jlo loved the arrangement and the band and Adam. Harry loves his strong, thick high notes. Nailed every note, he says.

We are finally introduced to Scott Borchetta! He sees a lot of artists in this bunch. “I have such a buzz about what’s going on.”
“Clark is one of the best singers we got.” says Scott when Ryan asks. And he’s next! Clark looked so jazzed when Scott complimented him.
Clark Beckham – “Tracks Of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson – I’m in love with the texture of Clark’s voice. His high notes are sublime tonight. Scott looks really happy! Clark accompanies himself on electric guitar, lending a groove to “Track of My Tears” like I’ve never heard before. I’m used to it performed as a ballad, but I’m liking this. He tacks on a gospelly coda to the end. I was NOT expecting that! Jlo thinks he’s amazing, but he needs to bring even more heart into his performance. He could go all the way. Harry felt it needed a beginning middle and end. Keith thought he should have ditched the band, performed it with only a guitar, and maybe broke a few hearts. I liked that a lot more than the judges did. I felt the urgency in that performance.

Nick Fradiani, Jr. – “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder – The always soulful, competent and confident Nick accompanies himself on acoustic guitar. A good song pick for him. He doesn’t change up the arrangement much, though. It’s a little karaoke compared to the performances that preceded him. Nick’s going to have to shake it up a little soon. Harry liked it, but thought he should have smiled more. Keith asks if he plays the guitar much. Ouch. He didn’t feel he looked comfortable–maybe he should have ditched the instrument and moved around more. Jennifer thinks he smiles enough!

Qaasim Middleton – “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder – OMG I LOVE THIS GUY! I smiled all the way through that performance–from the way he played with the mic, to his hair swinging dance moves–THAT WAS FABULOUS. I disagree with Harry, I think he lost the vocals the more excited he got. But Qaasim has some real interesting phrasing that makes up for that. “So good man! Watching you in front of an audience is what it’s all about. You just explode,” says Keith. “You so damn funky. It’s crazy! You own that stage,” says Jlo. She cautions him to watch the vocals. Harry thought everything about that was good. “That’s what we’re looking for,” says Harry

Quentin Alexander – “Master Blaster” by Stevie Wonder – Not as dramatic or impressive as last week’s performance. Without the theatrics, Quentin’s vocal limitations are exposed. But he does, as Harry said, lay down a nice groove. I’m not convinced he should have had the pimp spot, though. I would have given it to Clark or Qaasim. Jlo is so glad he’s here! It kills her to say goodbye to the rest though. Quentin is one of her favs. Harry loved the way he laid into the groove. He felt a little bit of reservation, only because he was freaked out to be the last called. Keith compliments him for knowing who he is, calls the performance “a bullseye”
