who did ada vox sing with on american idol

Garret Jacobs, a bonafide heartthrob who seems humble (thanks, supportive grandma), elicited his own screams from the ladies in the audience and used that energy as he sang “Raging Fire” by Phillip Phillips. Bryan wasn’t sold on the song choice, but praised her confidence while Richie noted her “inner strength.” Still, Keala Settle she’s not.

Mara Justine’s choice of “This is Me” from “The Greatest Showman” is one I would have pegged to be performed by Ada Vox, but the 16-year-old Jersey girl said she felt like an outcast at school, and tried to channel that angst into the performance. Of course, Richie loved it, saying it’s “old school,” but when Perry called him inspiring, does she mean the performance or his story? Because it’s time to freshen things up. It’s too old-fashioned, to borrow a common Simon Cowell criticism. “It’s a Miracle” by Barry Manilow, a kitschy throwback from the ‘70s, didn’t work for Fantasia and it didn’t work for you. I’m just going to come out and say it: Marcio Donaldson, please start picking more contemporary songs. Is Michelle Sussette the next Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears or Shakira? While Sussette’s performance of “Friends” by Marshmello and Anne-Marie may have satisfied Bryan’s desire for a “big ole pop star,” she may have to start working on vocal control a bit more to stay in the competition. Judge Luke Bryan, the panel’s resident country expert, wasn’t sold on the song choice, and feared that Hutchinson was distracted by the girls screaming in the audience, while Perry attributed some of his performing issues to “nerves.” Hutchinson showed real guts bringing a banjo onto the Idol stage for “Midnight Train” by Chris Stapleton. The show kicked off with Caleb Lee Hutchinson, who is an inspiration for having lost 80 lbs. Tomorrow night four vocalists will be sent home - but who? On a night where Perry demanded a lock of guitar player Cade Foehner’s hair “for my mom,” Dennis Lorenzo showed a real lane as an artist that alternative radio will embrace if given the right material, and Maddie Poppe captivated with a high falsetto, it will be interesting to see how America votes.
