《美国偶像》本季三强与Clive Davis
新浪娱乐讯 美FOX台本季《美国偶像》三强表演北京时间今早播出，本集节目中Elliott、Taylor、Katharine每人演唱三首歌曲，演唱曲目分别由Clive Davis、三位裁判和选手本人选择。
Elliott Yamin演唱的第一首歌曲是Clive Davis为其选择的“Open Arms”。Randy觉得Elliott表现的不错，“You worked it out.”Paula很激动，“Elliott, you are in ex
cellent voice tonight.”Simon依然挑剔，“You can do better than that.”
Elliott的第二首歌是Paula为他选择的“What You Won't Do For Love”。Randy说，“I don't think it was your best performance.”Paula说，“You just pierce to the heart.”这一次，Simon给出好评，“I actually thought you sang that pretty good.”
Elliott的第三首歌是他自选的“I Believe To My Soul”。Randy很激动，“You can definitely sing!”Paula说，“You're very soulful.”Simon总结了Elliott的三个表演，“Your songs are not going to carry you through to next week.”
Katharine上台表演的第一首歌是Clive Davis为她选择的“I Believe I Can Fly”。Randy Jackson有些失望，“To me it wasn't quite the right thing for you.”Paula顾左右而言其他，“Katharine that color for you is gorgeous.”就在Randy和Paula含蓄地对Katharine的表演表示失望时，出乎意料地，Simon Cowell跳出来为Katharine辩护，“I think apart from a couple bum notes near the end, you kind of created a bit of moment there for yourself.”
Katharine的第二首歌是Simon为其选择的一首抒情歌曲“Somewhere Over The Rainbow”。Randy点头称赞，“This is the best vocal of the season for you tonight.”Paula也很激动，“I applaud you, soak in this moment.”Simon Cowell满脸堆笑，“That was the single best performance of the competition to date.”
Katharine演唱的第三首歌是自己选择的“I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues”。Randy失语，“I don't know.”Paula还“沉醉”在Katharine的上一个表演中，“Your magic was Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”Simon语重心长非常遗憾，“I just wish we could have reversed the order and that you ended up on the songs in the middle round, because that's what I want to remember.”
“万众瞩目”的Taylor Hicks带来的第一首歌是Clive Davis为他的选择的“Dancing in the Dark”。Taylor首先感谢了Clive Davis给Bruce Springsteen打电话征得对方同意才让他能够有幸演唱这首歌曲……Randy赞赏有加，“You know how to have a good time.”Paula也很激动，“You're incredible.”Simon依然挑剔，“That was ok, it was a bit pale by comparison with the original.”
Taylor的第二首歌是Randy为他选择的“You Are So Beautiful.”Randy很陶醉，“A great tender moment from Taylor.”Paula赞不绝口，“Not only do you look like a star, you are a star.”这一次，Simon Cowell也给出高评价，“Taylor, for me that was so far and away your best performance so far.”
Taylor的第三首表演歌曲是自己选择的“Try A Little Tenderness”。Randy激动极了，“Your new name from now on is have a good time, funky Taylor.”Paula和Simon的好评也都在意料之中，Paula——“You did a incredible job.”，Simon——“I'll see you next Tuesday.”
至此，本季《American Idol》三强表演结束，纵观本集节目，Taylor三首歌曲表现出色，加上人气居高，进入二强可谓“毫无悬念”；而Elliott和Katharine，今早二人表演也都可圈可点，但明早谁会闯进二强，相信上周Chris被淘汰后留出的庞大“票仓”去向会成为决定两人谁去谁留的关键。 chenxin827/文
