"God Bless the Child" on Idol?

Anyone catch Jacob Lusk's performance of this Billie Holiday classic last night on American Idol?

It was truly one of the most earth shattering performances I've ever seen on the show.

BH herself would have been proud.

Can't wait to hear what this guy does next.

There seems to be a fair abundance of real musical talent on Idol this year so far it seems!

Paul was my pick to exit yesterday.

Oh well.

Now I have to look at that instead of Pia!

Hotmailjbc, I couldn't agree with you more. I think that young girls probably make up a large proportion of the voting block. Bearded guy also annoys me. I'm shallow...it's mostly about his 'look'. The judges were nuts to keep him so early in the competition.

I hear you man, I hear you, and listen to that thin reedy voice instead of my Diva, oh that Pia is a beauty she is.

It is weird - judges on one hand praise being emotionally attached to the song while the same time they praised Paul singing with big smile "I shot man in Reno...".

I'm not sure why judges are even there, since they praise everything. There are some very good performances and some bad. To them everything is "just beautiful". I miss Simon. On the positive note sound got much better after first two shows.
