Caleb Johnson

The theme tonight is Competitor's Pick, meaning (I thought) they would be forced to sing one song. But each of the other Idols picks a song for one person, then that person gets to choose from that list. So it's pretty much as wide open as any other week.

His pick is "Family Tree" by Kings Of Leon. EXCELLENT. I want to hear that again.

Keith: That was a good choice, man. I love that freakin' song. Great choice for you. Really highlights your strength. Such a consistent performer.

Jlo: You did it again. Great job.

Harry: A tune that could be on your record. I dug it. Great way to start the show.

Seacrest: First Kings of Leon song performed on Idol.

Awkward Duet #2
Meat Loaf & Jena

A watered-down version of the Stone's "Gimme Shelter". Their voices are good for this song--IF they stuck to the original track. This sounds like muzak.

Jlo: That was a moment. They're gonna play that again and again.

Harry: I thought it was really cool.

Jlo: Everything is coming together for you, Jena. It's happening, you two.

Keith: Jena, you killed it. Somebody needs to cut loose on this stage. Everyone feels so stiff tonight.

Again with Demi Lovato. I think I know what Idol's up to. They're drive-testing a younger female for a fourth judge spot.

Demi: You killed it. That was so awesome. Both singing these incredible notes.

But she doesn't say anything the other three judges haven't already said, with a much less annoying voice.

Loved this (Caleb.) I love him. But because he looks like my son, I want to adopt him. :)
