Adam Lambert.

Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

Yes! That's some serious blue/brown eyed soul to start out, with just some electric guitar accompaniment. Heartfelt and understated first line; if anything, a bit too understated as he heads into the second line. Midway through that line, though, here comes some volume and some good gospel belt-out. Add in a high note for good measure heading into the final verse, all above the melody line. Chills for this Allison fan down the stretch. Powerful and emphatic ending, nailed. Don't think the anti-shouters will like it at all, though.

A 9.


Randy: So listen. That song is an amazing R&B classic. What you did just there, you showed the real reason you're here, you can sing your face off. That was unbelievable!
Kara: That may have been your best performance and interpretation of a song since the beginning of this competition. The high notes, pulling it back, that combination is a winner. Using both sides of yourself.
Paula (shrill): That was the best I've ever heard you sing! Ever! Unbelievable! You look like a superstar up there! I'm in awe of your talent, whatever happens with this Idol Journey, you will be iconic! You are!
Simon: Poler is sitting on the fence a bit. After that, just one thing to say: You are 100% back in the game. Congratulations.
