Elise Testone
She gets a surprise greeting from actor Jason Segal, via video. (she and her mom saw his movie on Sunday, says she's a huge fan of his)
She ends the show with “You and I” by Lady Gaga. Not bad for a Gaga song. Starts off playing the piano, then grabs a mic and moves around the stage. Idol pulls no punches with this production, they fill the stage with guitar players and a horn section. Really selling this.
But Elise doesn't need all the window dressing. She carries this very well on her own.
Randy: America, Elise is back! Perfect time for that vocal. You needed a moment and I think you got it tonight!
J-Lo: You did exactly what you wanted to do. Let go but remained in control. No one sings like you. You're our closer!
Steven: You turned it into genius. Laid a beautiful vocal over it.
Seacrest: Elise is back!
I think they want Elise to stay, LOL
