AI Recap: Stefano Langone Touches Jennifer Lopez, Scotty McCreery Stays in The Zone

The American Idol Season 10 finalists sang Elton John classics this week. Some contestants made their stars spark while others just stayed the same, in short, they did not do anything new.

So here are some of my favorites for this week's American Idol Episode... 

Scotty McCreery proved, once more, that he's the real country-hottie-puss-slayer. Armed with his guitar and a pair of sexy boots, he came out really dashing and ended his performance with an amazing "low note."

Jennifer Lopez liked his amazing instincts about performing and about what's right for him. Randy Jackson commented he has seasoned so fast in the show. Well, the thing that i like about Scotty is he does not need to do any gimmicks to be noticed. He just sings, and he nails it every time. 

What's different today? Stefano Langone, who obviously took note about the judges' comments with regard to "connection," opened his eyes throughout his presentation. Good Job!

The Italian contestant, who tripped into the bottom three last week, did his take on Elton's "Tiny Dancer." As the song neared its end, he walked into the judges table and reached his arms, Randy jokingly aimed his hand at Langone, but JLo was fast enough to get the Italian hunk's touch. Flirting galore? LOL

She growled, she rocked, Mr. Tyler said she sings sexy, yes, she  just did!

Haley Reinhart finally nailed it tonight. You see she has this angst inside her, been rooting for her since day one. I am not sure if she'd make it trough the rough cut tomorrow, but at least - she showed the world her awesome vocal talent.

Casey Abrams did an emotional and toned down performance of "Your Song." It could be Elton John's song, but the way he delivered it, very, very,  Casey.

Did Casey deserve the American Idol Judges' save last week? Effin' yeah! The way he sang tonight, My god, he blew me away - I think you would agree on me this time.

So what about Pia Toscano and Jacob Lusk? Weren't they good? Yes, in fact they do perform great stuff every time, but you see, things are getting a little boring for the two of them.  

James Durbin, the eclectic singer who sang "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", gave out  an over the top "almost-irritating" performance.  (with all that fire and punk-feel that was incorporated on stage, pffft!)

Thia Megia delivered the goods. It was an awesome emotional number, the one that you can feel. However, i wasn't stunned. But she sang my name, "Daniel," LOL, so i love her.

Lauren Alaina was in the same boat like Thia. She sings good, but there's something that is lacking. I don't know. do you?

I agree with Randy when she said that Naima Adidapo was a little corny tonight. 

Please, for the love of god, dear  Paul McDonald, throw away those flowery suit.
