Reporting from Flu-rida, last week:
Top 4 - LoveBreakups
B Alex "Too Close"
B Caleb "You Give Love a Bad Name"
B- Jena "Heartbreaker"
C+ Jess "Since You Been Gone"
CALEB sang understated, for him. K: Killah; J: Ready for prime time
JESS sounded raw, Joan-Jetty. J: Got attitude, but not your style; H: Show us how you feel
ALEX is perhaps the best singer left. H: Built tune up in own style every week; K: Take more command; J: No 'moments'
JENA was okay. K: Too forced; J: Controlled; H: Disconnect
Dedications
B Caleb "Travelling Band"
B Alex "I'm Yours"
B Jess "So What"
C Jena "Bad Romance"
CALEB didn't do too much, great vox. J: Tough to beat
JESS was better. H: Song choice again; K: Agreed; J: Not right for you
JENA, wasn't sure about this one. K: Really good; H: Nice job
ALEX was great, of course, but yeah, no 'moments'. J: Stayed linear, surprise us; H: Break it down and reinvent it
Makeups
A- Jena "I Can't Help Falling In Love"
B+ Caleb "Baby I'm Amazed"
B Alex "Yellow"
B Jess "You And I"
CALEB was awesome. H: Phenomenal; K: Killah; J: Your best performance
JESS was okay, nothing special. K: Perfect song for you; H: Came out swinging, killed it
JENA is always great with piano ballads. J: [Walked on stage to hug/kiss her]; H: Incredible; K: Musical platypus
ALEX was pleasant as usual. H: You needed that, great performance; K: Poetic vulnerability; J: Integral to this competition
