VIDEO: CJ Harris sings 'If It Hadn’t Been For Love' on American Idol 2014

CJ Harris sang "If It Hadn’t Been For Love" by The SteelDriver on American Idol XIII 2014 Season 13 Top 9.

Preparation

Back in Jasper CJ didn't know what he was going to do.

He says that life in Hollywood is crazy. It makes him feel good that he has accomplished something.

Performance Video

Good song choice. And he stayed in tune most of the time, which was a relief. But he lost it when he was shouting and putting some emotion in the singing. It sounded like he really practiced though. CJ is a nice guy. I like him. But singing out of tune and not realizing it is not acceptable.

My rating: 3 / 5 stars

Judges Comments

Judge	Critique
	Keith Urban: That was a clever choice to do that. All I ask that you don't confuse the sound of expressing with the feeling of expressing.
	Jennifer Lopez: I thought this was a good choice for you. I don't get tired listening to your voice. In the middle it got so off.
	Harry Connick Jr.: You have to keep the connection to the audience, you have to keep the song form. There's a lot of stuff you need to do seamlessly. Work on your pitch.
