I’ve heard Andrew cover of Knock you down (Keri Hilson), and I think it’s gonna be great if he rearrange that song a bit to impress judges this week.

And for quirky voice Lacey Brown, “Call me” by Blondie or “With or without you” by U2.

Crystal, Lee, Casey and Katelyn – for these 4 people, slot in Top 12 are reserved.

4 to go home this week, I predict Paige, Lily, Toddrick and Aaron.

OOPS, sorry! For Alex I meant FREE FALLIN’ (by Tom Petty/John Mayer) not Fallin’ Slowly (I hate that song, haha!). My mistake.

By: Brooke

Alex – Fallin’ Slowly, Use Somebody, or some John Mayer
Casey – something like I suggested for Alex
Katie – Catch me by Demi Lovato
Aaron – If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks
Lee – Shattered by OAR
Andrew – Take some corny song and make it sound like a different song. (EX: like some NSYNC or BSB song.)

Ayla -
I love your choices for Didi, Lilly and Crystal. I think Cryin’ is well beyond Paige — would sound like bad karaoke. Not familiar with what you chose for Casey. But overall, good job in selections.

Didi – Come Away With Me (Norah Jones)
Casey – Lover You Should’ve Come Over (Jeff Buckley)
Katelyn – Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)
Paige – Cryin’ (Aerosmith)
Lilly – Cry Me A River (Ella Fitzgerald)
Crystal – Like a rolling stone (Bob Dylan)

I’m Sorry just this season really needs some contemporary upbeat music seriously and I have reasons behind odd choices like Crystal doing Aguilera she could really change the song up acoustically w/ her powerful voice. And Katelyn sounds sooo similar to Lady Gaga acoustically and with her phrasing she could have a big moment!!
