American Idol Season 9: Top 8 Girls’ Performances

Viewers got to see the Top 8 girls perform last night, in the latest episode of “American Idol.” And don’t worry if you just happened to miss any of the episode last night – which saw the girls perform Billboard’s Hottest Singles again – as we have a quick recap for you.

So let’s get straight to the point of the performances, and what the judges had to say afterwards. Katie Stevens chose to perform Kelly Clarkson’s “Break Away” last night. But unfortunately she didn’t do that great a job, and Simon even told her she kind of sucked.

The Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun” was the song choice for Siobhan Magnus, but it might not have done her any justice. Lilly Scott in the meantime, chose Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces.” Randy may have liked it, but Simon said that it didn’t have the wow factor for him.

Now we go to Lacey Brown, who performed “The Story” by Brandi Carlile. Kara described it as brilliant, and told Lacey that she was back on her path. Simon on the other hand said that he didn’t love the song, but said that it was like listening to something on the radio.

Katelyn Epperly performed “I Feel the Earth Move” by Carole King and she didn’t really impress either, with Simon describing it as “kind of like request night on a Friday night at a restaurant.” Paige Miles sang “Smile,” by Charlie Chaplin, which Simon said was awful.

Now we come to the last 2 on the list, Didi Benami and Crystal Bowersox. Didi performed Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon,” which the judges appeared to like. And Crystal went with Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason.” Simon said she is the one to beat!
