The advice given by the 31-year-year old singer was spot on for many of the contestants and was a much better choice by the producers to include him, compared to last weeks mentor Miley Cyrus the \u201cHannah Montana\u201d star.<\/h2>\n

The weeks theme was Soul\/R&B and had high performances by many contestants including Andrew Garcia, Michael Lynch, Katie Stevens and a few others. Bellow is the reviews and predictions of this weeks American Idol Top 10 show.<\/p>\n

Michael Lynche<\/strong> \u2013 Big Mike sang an India Arie song, ‘Ready For Love’ and it was, how can I say? Just beautiful. He gave me goosebumps on the song he sang with his beloved guitar. This guy has been so consistent and is one of the favorites to win the competition for me. Randy said \u201cI am happy that you back to a beautiful, sensitive song\u201d. Simon said \u201cI can now take you seriously, as an artist\u201d. Ryan Seacrest asked Usher \u201cwhat would you have said if you were a judge\u201d. Usher replied \u201cYou did it, you connected, I loved it man\u201d.<\/p>\n

Didi Benami<\/strong>i \u2013 Didi sang ‘What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted’ by Jimmy Ruffin and had an off-key performance which was deemed poor by all the judges. She carried on her inconsistent performance but she has been poor for the past two weeks and I fear Didi might be going home tonight though I believe Tim should. Randy said \u201cthe performance was flatlined and never really moved It just wasn’t great\u201d. Kara went one step ahead of Randy by saying she \u201clost her vision since hollywood week\u201d as the performance was overdone. I believe if Didi was to be nominated off on tonight\u2019s show, the judges just might decide to save her with the judges save option.<\/p>\n

Casey James<\/strong> \u2013 Casey sang ‘Hold On, I’m Coming’ by Sam & Dave and it was another brilliant performance which I believe Kara had a direct influence on as her comments from last week must have been ringing in his ears. Randy said \u201cThis was another hot night for you, You stayed in your element, showed your vocal range, perfect choice!”. While Simon said \u201cit was your strongest week so far, you really impressed”.<\/p>\n

Tim Urban<\/strong> \u2013 Tim sang ‘Sweet Love’ by Anita Baker and as usual he was just not init from the start. Simon who we\u2019re so used to speaking harshly lived up to his name but I have to say I agreed with him the whole time when he said \u201cA completely inappropriate song. It’s like a mouse picking a fight with an elephant, you’re not going to win,” Simon even had the check to say “It doesn’t matter because you’re going to smile, the audience is going to vote for you, you’ll be here next week, so well done”. Simon got it spot on as I have been saying for several weeks now, Tim is only in this for his looks and I believe it was totally unfair to some of the contestants that were voted off rather then he was. Randy said \u201cyou were like a singing waiter\u201d which for me is sort of an understatement. Before anyone say\u2019s anything I would like to point something out. \u201cThis is not personal\u201d. I do not like guy because I have a personal grudge but because he genuinely cannot sing well compared to the other contestants.<\/p>\n

Andrew Garcia<\/strong> – “Andrew is back!” shouted Randy after Andrew\u2019s version of Chris Brown\u2019s ‘Forever’ and indeed it was his best performance since his unforgettable acoustic version of Paula Abdul\u2019s \u201cStraight Up\u201d. I predicted last week that this would be Andrew\u2019s week as soon as I heard it was soul\/R&B week as I have heard Andrew\u2019s songs on YouTube from before he was on American Idol and he was great. Usher gave Andrew a great helping-hand when he took off his shades to say \u201clook at my eye\u2019s\u201d as Andrew had closed his due to his nerves. Kara said Nothing makes me happier than to say that is one giant leap in the right direction, I’m going to leave it at that\u201d.<\/p>\n

Siobhan Magnus \u2013 Siobhan sang a Chaka Khan\u2019s ‘Through The Fire’ and was at times hard to understand with her unique version. Randy said \u201cYou have a big voice but the song couldn\u2019t catch on with the pitch\u201d. While Kara said \u201cyou got a little nervous, It just didn\u2019t work\u201d<\/p>\n

Katie Stevens<\/strong> \u2013 Katie\u2019s performance of \u201cChain Of Fools\u201d by Aretha Franklin was \u201cpretty good\u201d according to Simon and was liked all around by the judges. User had given her some words of encouragment when he said she needs to put more attittude into her stage performance which kinda worked but was also described by Simon as \u201cRobotic and cold\u201d. The 17-year-old\u2019s voice came across as much older with her voice going very well with R&B songs as Kara said \u201cR&B\/pop is where you belong\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lee Dewyze<\/strong> \u2013 Lee song The Cornelius Brothers \u201cTreat Her Like A Lady\u201d was a real crowd pleaser as much of the audience were clapping and cheering for the 23-year-old singer songwriter from Illinois. His fast paste version of the song was liked by all the judges and was one of the best performances of the night. Simon Cowell\u2019s comments put Lee on a high when he said \u201cGo home tonight and watch tonight\u2019s episode as it could be the moment that changed your life\u201d. It was for sure his best performance in weeks.<\/p>\n

Crystal Bowersox<\/strong> \u2013 Crystal sang Gladys Knight & The Pips ‘Midnight Train To Georgia’ and as usual she impressed with her performance. What made last night more special was that she played part of the song on the piano which was advice that Mentor Usher gave to her during their session together. Her performance was a little nourvy due to her playing the piano I believe and it showed, as I believe her previous performances were much better, sorry piano lovers. Randy said \u201c yo yo, so I Loved the outfit, I am currently working with Gladys Knight and I think she would be proud.\u201d \u0130n which Cyrstal replied \u201csay I said hi to Gladys\u201d. Ellen gave her the best comments of the day when she said “You’re never not good, you’re always great,” but Simon Cowel thought her vocals were great at times but the \u201cbacking vocalists made it old fashioned\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aaron Kelly<\/strong> \u2013 Aaron sang a Bill Withers song \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d which has been a popular song choice between the American Idol contests throughout the years. This fact kind of made it a bad song choice in my opinion as he had more people that he will be compared with. Any way the judges thought it was an ok performance by the 16-year-old with Ellen saying \u201cgood song choice\u201d (I don’t agree) while she admired his confidence considering his age.<\/p>\n
