American Idol Season 15: The Final 8 Perform and Demi Lovato Sings!

Dalton Rapattoni sang Radioactive by Imagine Dragons-- I like Dalton, and there isn't much he could do to make me not like him. However, I do not feel this was the best song for him. Hopefully people remember him and he shines through in terms of comparison to other performances.
Score: 8 out of 10

Lee Jean sang Use Somebody by Kings of Leon-- Jenn liked the song for him, but felt like he needed more power behind it. Keith didn't like the song for him because he wanted him to do something different with it. This was also a little weak for me, again, love Lee, but this didn't move me.
Score: 7 out of 10

Sonika Vaid sang Since You Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson-- Keith said he wanted more attitude. Jenn said it didn't feel the same as last week in terms of attitude. I liked the idea of Sonika doing this song, but I didn't love the performance, not like last week.
Score: 7 out of 10

MacKenzie Bourg sang I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston-- Best performance of the night so far. It was creative and fully realized. MacKenzie's vocal was so easy, and I really liked it. Harry said he would have thought of a more inventive way to do the arrangement.
Score: 9 out of 10

Laporsha Renae sang Halo by Beyonce-- Harry said that Laporsha forces him to think of every song from a new and different perspective every time. Best female performance of the night so far. I feel like this song is a little bit  overdone but Laporsha did manage to make is sound new.
Score: 9 out of 10

Trent Harmon sang When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge-- Harry said he has greatly improved. Keith said he is a really great singer. Jenn said everything is you, and you're amazing. You have a special voice, and don't change anything. She said she had a vision of Laporsha and Trent at the end. The song was little old school for me, but Trent's voice just transcends anything.
Score: 9 out of 10

Tristan Mcintosh sang Go Rest High on that Moutain by Vince Gill-- Stunning vocal, she is very lucky, because based on last week, she should have been going home. Keith thought it was a great song for her. Harry likes her as a country singer and thought that song was very moving.
Score: 9 out of 10

Avalon Young sang Earned It by The Weeknd-- Vocally, she is magic to me. That performance had tons of attitude and swag, and she sounded like shades of Alicia Keys to me. Jenn said when you're in your comfort zone, there is no one like you. Harry said you needed a fantastic performance, and that was. And you look beautiful natural, do what's right for you. Keith liked that she made the performance her own.
Score: 10 out of 10

Olivia Rox sang Trouble by Pink-- I thought that was an off song choice for her, but she did the best she could with it. Harry thought it was energetic, but he didn't see any vulnerability. He did say her talent is undeniable. Keith said this is not an easy decision. Jenn said everything said it was a good performance, but song choice makes the difference on a night like this.
Score: 8 out of 10

Gianna Isabella sang If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys-- Jenn thinks she has a truly blessed voice, and she gave it her all. Harry thinks she is transformed and she does have a vocal gift. Gianna's performance was strong too! Everyone did a great job. It's too bad that it was these three girls in the bottom.
Score: 9 out of 10

Bottom 2 is Lee and Sonika
