'American Idol' Recap 2013: Last Night's Season 12 Top 5 Girl Contestants Perform, Janelle Arthur, Amber Holcomb in Danger of Being Voted Off?
Finally we have gotten to the top five contestants on season 12 of "American Idol." 2013 has been dominated by the female singers and it's only right that the last five singers are all female. Candice Glover, Amber Holcomb, Janelle Arthur, Kree Harrison, and Angie Miller all have proven to be the best singers of season 12. Wednesday night's theme was the year you were born and divas. The latter being something a couple of the judges, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, know a thing or two about. Who would be in danger of going home on Thursday night's results show?
This is an interesting week, because it seems unlikely that anyone will go home. This is because the judges still have their save, which apparently they have to use this week or else they will lose it. With that said, it' no guarantee they will use it, but that would be a shocking move considering the last five singers are all strong contestants.
To start the singing from last night Candice Glover sings Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" from 1989. The judges of course, like all season, love Candice's performance. Janelle Arthur is up next and she sings Vince Gill's "When I Call You're Name" from 1989. All the judges loved it except for Keith Urban who felt like he didn't feel the pure emotion.
Kree Harrison performs The Black Crowes "She Talks to Angels" from 1990. Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson liked the performance, but Mariah and Keith felt Kree didn't feel comfortable. Angie Miller performs The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" to which she receives positive comments from all the judges.
Amber Holcomb closes round one with her performance from the 1994 Mariah Carey hit "Without You." Holcomb's performance gets mixed results from the judges with Randy Jackson summing it up well by saying it wasn't perfect.
In round two, Candice sings Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's "When You Believe." The judges loved her performance with Randy calling it the best vocals of the night. Janelle tried to follow up Candice by singing Dolly Parton's "Dumb Blond." Keith Urban says he doesn't like the song choice while Randy didn't think the vocals showed anything. Janelle's performance was arguably the weakest of the night.
Kree Harrison performs Celine Dion's "Have You Ever Been in Love." The judges all agree that it was a great performance from Kree. Angie Miller goes with a bold choice and sings Beyonce's "Halo." She knocks it out of the park and gets rave reviews from the judges, including a "in it to win it" from Randy Jackson. To close the show Amber sings Barbara Streisand's "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life." The judges all loved Amber's performance and begged America to vote for her.
Going into Thursday night's results show, will anyone be going home? Probably not, but it seems like Janelle and Amber may be in the bottom two. Amber, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to be getting the votes the other ladies do. Meanwhile, Janelle seems like the weakest singer left of the top five. Who do you think is in most danger of going home?
