Lazaro Arbos
His song is "In My Life". Iovine said he was going to try something "ambitious" with this song. I don't see it or hear it. Flat. Dull. Bland. Just bad.
Mariah: I have to commend you on your bravery. Just to critique this song ... it was a little bit low for you.
Keith: Choosing the key of a song is really important. [which you failed to do, he doesn't say]
Minaj: I still feel like you're not the Lazaro that I remember. Your confidence is different now. When you used to get on the stage you be owning it. (now he's nervous)
Randy: Honestly, I think that was your worst performance ever. Something's happened to you. Where did the vocals go?
No reaction from the audience.
Lazaro's getting all misty-eyed. Now Seacrest compounds the problem by asking Lazaro to explain himself ...
Five minutes later, Searcest says "Hang in there, buddy."
His stutter is the only thing keeping him on the show.
