After having an extra day to prepare, the girls perform tonight. This had better be good. Thankfully, Crystal Bowersox has recovered and will be able to go on with the show tonight.
 
And speaking of Crystal Bowersox, she performs first tonight. She sings “Long As I Can See The Light,” and while we’re not crazy about the song itself, she performs it incredibly well and it’s a good choice for her. We’re sold on her. Our rating: 8/10
 
It has finally happened- a Miley Cyrus song has made its way onto Idol. Kill us now. Haeley Vaughn sings “The Climb.” On paper this sounds like it could be a good idea, but it’s not. At all. Half the time she’s talking/screaming, and the other half, she’s singing way off key. We sort of feel like we’re at the grade school concert where none of the kids have ever been in front of an audience before. This is terrible. Our rating: 2/10

So, a big changeup this week: the guys perform tonight instead of the girls. This is because Crystal Bowersox was hospitalized today and is under doctor’s orders not to perform tonight. The girls will take the stage tomorrow.
 
That means the guys go first this week, a day early. This could be bad. Or maybe good. We’ll see.
 
Michael Lynche gets the ball rolling with “This Is a Man’s World.” This is a much, much better style of music for him. And even though we personally do not really care for it, he sings the song well and seems much more comfortable onstage this week. This is a solid performance and we think he’s done enough to keep himself out of danger this week. Our rating: 8/10
