American Idol: Did Dance Tunes and the Adele Songbook Impress?

The answer is, only about half way. The dance tunes were not great. Out of seven performances, only three of them were really memorable. Adele's Songbook faired a little bit better. 

Jack Blocker performed Long Tall Sally by Little Richard, it was such an authentically Jack performance.


 

Will Moseley's performance of Give Me Three Steps by Lynard Skynard was a win. I love how he continues to stay true to who he is as an artist. 



Lastly, I loved Emmy Russell singing Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon. She slightly changed up the song and made it her own. 



The Adela Songbook impressed me-- 

I did not think I would enjoy Jack performing One and Only, but it was amazing. It was practically a perfect song choice for him. 



Emmy Russell did Water Under the Bridge which is one of my fave Adele songs. She is comfortable and intentional with her performance. 



Triston Harper displayed so much maturity with his performance of Easy on Me. I loved how he connected with the song and made it his own. 



Lastly, I need to shout out Abi Carter's performance of Hello. When she gets it right, she gets it right. 



Julia and McKenna were sent home. 

Jack, Will, Triston, Abi, and Emmy remain! What an amazingly solid top five, this is anyone's competition to win.
