Simon……..”it was too theatrical”
Kris did ” ain’t no sunshine” while playing the piano.
Judges said………….
Randy…..”you saved the best for last” and it was the best performance ever.
Kara………”if he doesn’t move you then there is something wrong with you.”
Paula…………..”awakened the spirit in all of us.”
Simon…..” When they announced your name last week, I wasn’t sure that America had made the right choice. I take that all back now.”
Then came American Idol creator Simon Fuller’s choice.
For Adam is was “Change is gonna come” by Sam Cooke. Randy called it “unbelievable.” Kara said it was probably Adam’s best performance and interpretation of a song. While Paula said it was the best she had ever heard Adam sing, ever ever ever. She also said he looked like a superstar and was gonna be iconic. Simon told him he was 100% back in the game.
Kris’s feedback from the guys wasn’t as promising after his performance of “what’s going on” by Marvin Gaye. Randy said it was a little light for him. Although Paula said “you tore it up and made Marvin Gaye proud.” Kara said he was the perfect person to sing this song. While Simon said it was like three friends in a bedroom strumming a guitar to Marvin Gaye and called it too layed back for a night like tonight.
For the final performance the finalists were to perform “No Boundaries” which will be the winners first single.
Adam took the stage first. Randy said “dude you can sing anything.” Adding that it was a little pitchy and just ” alright” for him. Kara says she is moved and proud. Paula tells Adam that she is an Adam fan forever. Simon calls him one of the best and original contestants ever and that they have found a star with Adam.
Then came Kris. Randy told Kris that the song was a better fit for him and he should be proud. Kara said she didn’t want him to be judged by this song and hoped America would juge him be the compelling artist he is. Paula wished Kris the best of luck no matter what happened. Simon told him he was surprised at how far he had come. He also added that his highlight was his first song.
Then to end the night Carrie Underwood sang “Home Sweet Home” , Idol’s farewell song.
