American Idol 9 Top 3 Studio Recordings Available Now
No duds this week, but some of the tracks here did not aim high enough.
Casey James
OK, It's Alright With Me: This was alright. Unfortunately for Casey, he chose another song that didn't get non-fans excited enough to vote.
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Daughters: This was OK. I guess his fans will like this song. I agree with Kara that this is probably the sound that works best for Casey. Two sleepy songs however on the "biggest night of his life" cost him a place in the Finale.
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Download: OK, It's Alright With Me
Crystal Bowersox
Come To My Window: This was a weird arrangement. So many things going on drowning out the vocal.
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Maybe I'm Amazed: This is a great song from Paul McCartney. Crystal did a good job here - I could feel her energy in the vocal - but she was better live.
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Lee DeWyze
Simple Man: Excellent. The American Idol band working overtime with the guitars!
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Hallelujah: This was amazing. Download this track. This is as great last week's Falling Slowly. Just amazing.
