American Idol 8 Hollywood Week Round Final Day Recap (Video)
Well kids… we’re down to 72 for the last day of the Hollywood week round, where each contestant performs by themselves with a band and backup singers (they can also play their own instruments). Here’s the American Idol 8 Hollywood round three recap, which includes Scott MacIntyre (video clip above):
Adam Lambert – “Believe” by Cher, which seemed too risky
Matt Giraud – played keyboard, sang “Georgia on My Mind” and got standing ovation from all but Simon
Jamar Rogers – sang “Hey There Delilah” and judges seemed to like it
Danny Gokey – sang “I Hope You Dance” and Paula at least was impressed
Anoop Desai – sang “My Prerogative”
Jorge Nunez – sang “I Just Can’t Stop”
