It's Grand Ole Opry night on American Idol aka Country night. Our Idols are being coached by Randy Travis this week.

Let's get into the show!

Michael Sarver

Song Choice: Ain't Going Down (Till The Sun Comes Up)
Voting Numbers

I thought that suited Michael really well.

Randy: That showed a fun side of you and bought out some good stuff for your vocals.
Kara: It was impressive that you managed to remember all those words.
Paula: That allowed us to see you having fun which meant we had fun. The harmonica player boosted your charm.
Simon: I couldn't understand a single word you sung. I thought it was a bit clumsy. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 1.2.

Allison Iraheta

Song Choice: Blame It On Your Heart
Voting Numbers

I thought that was really good and again, suited her really well.

Randy: I didn't think it was precocious. I thought it was dope!
Kara: Who knew you could sing the alphabet. Every week you're getting better and better.
Paula: Another rock solid performance.
Simon: I thought it was good but it looked like you were struggling in parts.

Kris Allen

Song Choice: To Make You Feel My Love
Voting Numbers

I really like this performance by Kris.

Randy: I was like wow about the tender moments
Kara:
Paula: That was really nice and vulnerable. Overall I think it was a really smart choice to do this without your guitar.
Simon: I thought that was terrific. You were completely in control of the song and that was the first time I've thought you have a really good chance at doing well in this competition.

Lil Rounds

Song Choice: Independence Day
Voting Numbers

It was ok but nothing to write home about for me.

Randy: it was a very ambitious song choice.
Kara: I give you props for standing your ground.
Paula: It would have worked better if you had only done one verse.
Simon: That felt forced and uncomfortable.

Adam Lambert

Song Choice: Ring of Fire
Voting Numbers

What a star. This guy is so up for being original.

Randy: If you can imagine Nine Inch Nails doing a country song, that was it. HAWT!
Kara:
Paula: You're raising the bar each week and we're going to keep expecting great things out of you.
Simon: There are a lot of people throwing their TV sets out of the window and thought it was self indulgent rubbish.

Scott MacIntyre

Song Choice: Wild Angles
Voting Numbers

I didn't really like that too much at all.

Randy: I'm looking for those hot vocals and I haven't seen that from you yet.
Kara: We want you to up your game and wow us but you bring class and poise to the American Idol stage.
Paula: The piano might be a bit of a crutch for you at the moment. I want you to mix it up so there is a connection.
Simon: I don't think you're picking good enough songs yet and I'm forgetting you afterwards.

Alexis Grace

Song Choice: Jolene
Voting Numbers

I actually like version more than most idol performances of this song.

Randy: There was a bunch of pitch problems in there. It was a good song choice but it just didn't quite work for me.
Kara: I think you lost your edge a bit. I was missing the angst in you and it felt a little flat.
Paula: You took an artistic approach and I really enjoyed the vulnerable soft side of you.
Simon: I though it was ok and a little bit sound-alike. I didn't hear much originality and I don't think we'll remember that afterwards.

Danny Gokey

Song Choice: Jesus Take the Wheel
Voting Numbers

No surprise that Danny chose this song, really. It was ok but I really don't get what the major attraction with Danny is.

Randy: The problem with you and the verses is that you need to support them as much as you do the choruses.
Kara: When you hit your stride it's like no other. I wish I'd had ten minutes of that minus the front half.
Paula: I think you were brilliant tonight. So much so that I think Carrie Underwood wouldn't just approve, I think she'd buy the record.
Simon: My only problem is with what you're wearing.

Anoop Desai

Song Choice: Always On My Mind
Voting Numbers

Well. This is a pleasant surprise. That was actually pretty good.

Randy: That proved why we wanted you on the show. You really showed your vocal skills and I really liked the arrangement.
Kara: That was the biggest surprize of the night for me.
Paula: The glove really fit this week.
Simon: You've just managed to go from zero to hero. That was a good choice of song and one of my favorite performances of the night and I take back what I said last week. You deserve to be on American Idol.

Megan Corkery

Song Choice: Walking After Midnight
Voting Numbers

I really like the old sound in Megan's voice but she's going to have to watch those pitch problem.

Randy: I was quite impressed and thought that was pretty good. Perfect choice for you.
Kara: Perfect song. Perfect look. Most people couldn't get up and do that while they're sick.
Paula: You're a fighter. If that's what sick is being about...
Simon: You should have flu every week. You look gorgeous.

Matt Giraud

Song Choice: So Small
Voting Numbers

I quite liked that performance. It's been a good show.

Randy: For me, it was my favorite performance of the night. You've got it going on!
Kara: There ain't nothing small about you. You're an artist and a real talent. You worked the dynamics of that song. Amazing.
Paula: You're an authentic performer and your honesty shines through your performance.
Simon: You're quite similar to Danny but tonight you out sang him. One of the best tonight.
