Megan Joy Corkrey with Bob Marley´s Turn Your Lights Down Low.
Kara DioGuardi really likes her but she thinks she may be in trouble.
Paula Abdul thinks that at this stage of the competition she needs to dig deeper.

Allison Iraheta singing Don’t Speak by No Doubt.
Randy Jackson started with what mad love for her but he didn’t like her outfit.
Kara Dio Guardi says she didn’t need to put all that on because she can sing.
Paula Abdul thinks her vocal prowess rivals those twice her age and she thinks she is skating right to the finish line.
Simon Cowell can’t ignore the outfit either. The judges basically agreed that the outfit was distracting, so they lost the vocals.

Matt Giraud performing The Fray’s You Find Me.
Paula Abdul thought he abandoned the riffing and falsetto that make him who he is and this song just didn’t do it.
Simon Cowell felt it sounded very put on like he was trying to be someone else.
Randy Jackson said the problem for him was it just wasn’t the right sound for him.
Kara DioGuardi says he needs to commit and quit going back and forth between rock and R&B.
