Simon Fuller picks Alannah Myles' hit Black Velvet for Crystal Bowersox. It's a smoky, bluesy number -- a pop song, for sure, but with allusions to folk and blues -- and if Crystal's going to be an American Idol, she needs to be able to do the pop thing, at least occasionally. She has about the same amount of trouble with her notes that Lee did, but she's doing more vocally with the song. She's going for the big notes full-tilt. If this show still comes down to the glory notes -- which I'm not completely convinced it does -- this round goes to Crystal.
"This is what I'm talking about!" Randy exclaims. "Mama Sox is in it to win it!"
"That was fan-tastic!" says Ellen.
"Tonight is the night to give it your all, to kill yourself on that stage," says Kara -- and then my signal goes out.
Simon says he's almost allergic to that song, having heard so many bad auditions with it. But, "you took that song and you absolutely nailed it."
