American Idol Update: Now There Are 10

 Great nights of mentoring with both Gene Simmons from KISS and Meghan Trainor. There were a handful of special performances from the night. I am just going to speak about the highlights. 

Will Moseley sang Starting Over by Chris Stapleton-- Every performance from Will feels like you're at his concert and this was no exception. 

Mia Matthews sang Over You by Miranda Lambert-- This was a perfect song choice from her. She delivered the vocals, the artistry, and the emotion. This was a special moment where she could easily measure up to the other heavy hitter females in this competition-- McKenna, Abi, and Emmy. 

Roman Collins sang Roar by Katy Perry-- This was so good! I am so disappointed that he did not advance in the competition. It's truly special how he is making gospel music so front, center, and contemporary. I hope Katy does do this version next time she goes out on tour. 

Jack Blocker sang Blinding Lights by The Weeknd-- He totally gives me Phillip Phillips vibes. I LOVE his version of this song. I love how Jack stays so true to himself. He is unapologetic and I love that.
