It was Kree vs. Candice on last night's AMERICAN IDOL. The ladies had to step it up and perform for the largest crowd they've seen all year at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Check out all the performances below!
Kree's first song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan was picked by IDOL creator Simon Fuller. Candice then took on Simon Fuller's choice performing "Chasing Pavements" by Adele. Mariah said that she was "so proud" to be a part of this season. Randy said he didn't think the songs were the "right song" for either of the girls, but he gave a slight edge to Candice after her round one performance. Mariah thought Kree's performance was "delicate" and beautiful.
Round two for the girls consisted of what would be their coronation songs if they win AMERICAN IDOL. Kree performed, "All Cried Out," a slow country ballad that really seemed to resonate with the audience. Keith, Randy and Mariah gave our country starlet a standing ovation after her performance. Candice then took the stage to perform what would be her single if she takes the crown, "I am Beautiful." Nicki loved Kree's "composure" and liked how the song made her "reach down in her gut more." Keith thought the songs were "tailor made" for the girls. Nicki loved Candice's song and wondered if it was written specifically for the young artist. Keith thought that Kree took round two and Nicki thought Candice took the top spot.The third and final round consisted of the Idol reprising their favorite performances from the season. Kree chose to perform "Up to the Mountain" by Patty Griffin. Keith thought the performance was "beautiful." Nicki was "so glad" Kree chose that song and thought the energy was "uplifting." Randy thought her effort was a "winning performance" and Mariah said she "felt" the performance.
Candice closed the show with her favorite performance from the season: "I (Who Have Nothing") by Ben E. King. Keith thought the song was "like a planet exploding to life." Nicki commented that this was the first time Candice has shown her legs all season; she went on to say that Candice is a "superstar." Mariah said Candice has an "undeniable talent."
