, It was emotionally pfreect. 2. Haley Reinhart: She opened the night by taking a big risk singing an unreleased Lady Gaga song called You and I. J. Lo and Jackson both questioned whether it was a wise choice, totally overlooking the fact that she nailed it. Tyler was more generous, telling Reinhart, You're one pfreect song from being the American Idol. That pfreect song (or something very close to it) came during the show-closing pimp spot, when Reinhart delivered a sultry version of the Animals' House of the Rising Sun. It was a remarkable marriage between her raspy, powerful voice and a song full of grit and pain. Reinhart bravely starting a cappella and then let it all hang out during the accompaniment. Jackson declared it to be the best performance of the night and J.Lo raved,Will Wright appearance tomorrow in San Francisco A+E Inte, That song has never been sung like that. It was strong praise for a contestant, who just a few weeks ago, was a Bottom 3 regular.3. Scotty McCreery: The country kid from North Carolina opened with the energetic Gone from Montgomery-Gentry that allowed him to loosen up and do some frenetic strutting. And then, like Durbin, he slowed things down with the Elvis Presley (and Willie Nelson) tune, Always On My Mind. The judges loved both performances, particularly the opener. Up to now you've been like a puritan, but I swear to God I saw you dance with the devil tonight, and that's a good thing, Tyler said, just before going back to sleep.4. Lauren Alaina: Lauren opened up in attack mode, impressively ripping through Carrie Underwood's Flat on the Floor, a great song choice for the blonde teen. (Said J. Lo, You ate that up,burberry borse!).For her follow-up, she appeared in a flowing white gown, looking very much like a glam pageant queen and launched into the melodic Unchained Melody. J. Lo called it beautiful, but I kept thinking through the whole thing that I'd rather hear a powerhouse like Jennifer Hudson or even Pia Toscano take a crack at it.5. Jacob Lusk: The pride of Compton started off by trying (and not quite succeeding) to sing both parts of the Jordin Sparks-Chris Brown duet, No Air, and followed that up with Love Hurts by Nazareth. The first song was a bit of an off-key mess and the second,Britannia Arms Aptos Aptos, CA San Jose Mercury News, though better, suffered from another case of Jacob overkill. Jackson, however, credited him with delivering what might have been the highest note ever sung on this stage. Too bad it was probably his swan song.
