Blake Lewis: 'A little Kanye beat' would've helped Siobhan

From USA Today:

Usher was the mentor for last night's American Idol, and I must say I was really impressed.

The night started with Siobhan Magnus singing Through The Fire, and the arrangement was too old for her. I was hoping that maybe she would have flipped it, given that Usher was on the show, but I was wrong. A little Kanye beat would have helped it for me.

Casey James sang Hold On, I'm Coming, and he did a great job. It was the perfect song for his voice, and the judges really liked it.

Michael Lynche performed Ready For Love and it was my favorite performance of the night. His tone was beautiful, and the advice Usher gave him really helped.
