On last night's AMERICAN IDOL, contestant Sonika Vaid couldn't hold it back anymore, belting out Demi Lovato's version of "Let It Go". The performance was enough to save her from elimination. Later, La'Porsha Ranae closed out the show with a powerful and emotional cover of Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama", which brought judge Jennifer Lopez to tears. Watch both moving performances below!
Last night on AMERICAN IDOL, the Top Five finalists were announced, including MacKenzie Bourg, Trent Harmon, Dalton Rapattoni, La'Porsha Renae and Sonika Vaid. Judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. determined that Vaid would be saved, leaving Tristan McIntosh to be eliminated.
Next week, Thursday, March 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live /PT tape-delayed), the Top Five will perform two songs. Multiple Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/producer/hitmaker Sia will mentor the Top Five on songs from her repertoire, as well as perform her hit "Cheap Thrills" from her new album "This is Acting." Then, E Street Band's Stevie Van Zandt ("The Sopranos," "Lilyhammer") will mentor the finalists on classic rock songs. Actress and IDOL alum Katharine McPhee also will return to the stage to perform her memorable rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
