American Idol 5/18/10-No Place like Home

Well this is a huge night for Idol. It's down to the top three, the Idols returned home this week and the judges chose one of their two songs tonight. It was a very up and down show last night, but most of the downs surrounded around one man.

Casey James-Ok, It's Alright With Me
Well, I don't even know what song this is. Even Kara mentioned it was an unfamiliar to most viewers. It was actually pretty blah and boring. After watching this, I was questioning the point of him being here. I don't know what else to say. (2 out of 5)

Crystal Bowersox-Come to My Window
This was really good, but not her best. I mean I love this song, but it did feel really safe. Didn't completely blow me away, especially for her. I love her but she definitely got out shined on this night. (3 of 5)

Lee DeWyze-Simple Man
The man everyone is talking about today. It seems like this song is that other song he sang, but after looking at things, this was actually the better song. It made him sound like a mellow-rocker. He hit his notes and the crowd was electric for it. Nothing seemed forced and it seemed like he finally broke out and said "look this is my competition to win!" (5 of 5)

Casey-Daughters 
This song was chosen by Randy and Kara. It was good for him, but again not great and actually got very very boring. Especially in this house since we started the show late. The song worked for him, three or four weeks ago. (3 of 5)

Crystal-Maybe I'm Amazed
Ellen chose this song for her and it really surprised me. It definitely was better than her first performance. She looked really sexy and actually worked the stage like a real professional, something she never did in the past, or just wasn't good at doing. It worked big time for her. (4 of 5)

Lee-Hallelujah
Can I first say that I LOVE this song? Simon chose this song for him and then hyped it to death. But then he sang it. It was great, amazing to say the least. But then the choir came out. It was really cool to see it but I don't really think he needed it and it seemed to throw him off a little. But overall it was incredible. (4 of 5)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be Lee vs. Crystal next week. It will be one of the best finales ever if it comes down to them. Hopefully America doesn't mess this up.
