Jessica Meuse – Slapout, Ala. – “White Flag” by Dido

Dexter Roberts – Fayette, Ala. – “Lucky Man” by Montgomery Gentry

Emily Piriz – Orlando Fla. – Let’s Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez
There should be a rule against singing a song done by one of the judges. In this case, Emily would have benefited from such a rule. The performance was a train wreck. And BTW Mr. Connick’s critiques are getting better and better.

Caleb Johnson – Asheville, N.C. – Working Man by Rush
Hard-core rocker and I just don’t dig that style. A not-so-good version of James Durbin.

CJ Harris – Jaspar, Ala. – Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer
Jennifer loved his look tonight. Probably because he dressed up. Merely OK, just about put me to sleep.

James Durbin and Casey Abrams were in the house. How come they both look incredibly talented compared to this Final 12? Why? Because they are.

Sam Woolf – Bradenton Fla. – Just One by Blind Pilot
Harry feels he’s lacking emotional  dynamics. Another good way of saying he puts you to sleep. Keith said he’d buy his record. Mr. Urban must have a lot of money.

Malaya Watson – Southfield, Mich. – Take Me To The King by Tamala Mann
Much better than a week ago when she landed in the Bottom 3. JLo got the goosies and that’s always a good sign. Screamer and I don’t like screamers.

Ben Briley – Gallatin, Tenn. – Turning Home by David Nail
Good song choice. JLo liked the song by the end, Keith and Harry not so much. It was OK, I’m somewhere in the middle.

Majesty Rose –Goldsboro, N.C. – Fix You by Coldplay
Majesty goes completely off pitch during the chorus as she goes for some big, big notes and even I could tell that misstep.
Call 1 855 4 IDOL 07(1 855 443 6507) or Text 7 to 83676

Voting results on the final six:  1. CJ 2. Sam 3. Ben 4. MK 5. Malaya 6. Majesty

Jennifer says the kids HAVE TO BRING it next week. No screaming required.
