Lee Dewyze, the paint sales clerk from New york, performed an enjoyable number of “Hey Jude”, mildly surprising the judges as a bagpipe player suddenly came out & joined him onstage midway through the song. This got a laugh out of the judges, as Lee admitted that it was 100% his idea. The judges gave him points for not acting frightened onstage anymore.
Michael Lynche, the personal trainer from Astoria NY, & Katie Stevens, the high school student form Middlebury, Conn., were at the top of their games during Tuesday’s Top 9 Lennon-McCartney themed night. Michael, performed “Eleanor Rigby” with much soul, while Katie, sang a rendition of “Let It Be,” which Simon Cowell said sounds a bit country & may be her best performance yet, after being consistently in the bottom four for the past weeks. Ellen agreed with Simon, as they told Katie, “There is no way you’ll be in the bottom four.”
Even the constantly insulted “Teflon” Tim Urban from Illinois, received praises from all three judges for his version of “All My Loving”, that they believe, made him sound more current. Simon Cowell complimented Urban, saying, “There was no gimmicks. It suited your voice.” Siobhan Magnus of Marstons Mills, Mass., who received scalding comments historicallyin the past, could win back the judges with her emotional “Across the Universe.”
Next mentor for the top 8 after Wednesday’s elimination night will be Season Four runner-up Adam Lambert.
