Preparation

He said that he grew up with Elton John and he loved his music. But he's not seen the movie... "27 Dresses".

Performance Video

Ben plays the piano on this one and cleans up good in his green jacket. I like Ben! His facial expressions were precious. He's like your single uncle who always sings during family parties. He kinda lost me on the falsetto though.

My Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Judges Comments

Judge	Critique
	Keith Urban: I'm a little confused too. I don't feel it's authentic.
	Jennifer Lopez: I'm a little bit confused because you were so country last week. I thought it was a good vocal performance.
	Harry Connick Jr.: I felt like you really needed to pound the piano. It was sort of pointless. I don't know if we've really heard the real Ben.

After the performance, Ryan Seacrest invited Harry Connick to "pound the piano".
