Naima Adedapo, born in 1984, performs Tina Turner’s smash hit, What’s Love Gotta Do With It. Both Randy and Jennifer say the performance is pitchy, and Randy calls it a mess, but not without noting how hot she looked. Steven, however, calls her performance "beautiful." and even joked that she stole his shirt. Surprisingly enough, no one, not even Seacrest, comments on the great physical strength it must've taken Naima to not fall over with all the accessories she piled on.

An under-the-weather Paul McDonald, also born in ’84, sings Elton John's I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues. Jennifer says he did well and loves his star quality, despite noticing him struggle through the song. Randy and Steven both agree that Paul's a little pitchy, but Steven loves his swagger.

The adorable Thia Magia sings 1995's Colors of the Wind by Vanessa Williams. The judges feel her performance was too safe and didn't capture who she really is. Any girl who was alive when Pocahontas was released not only would've felt underwhelmed, but let down.

James Durbin, donning questionable fauxhawk, belts out Bon Jovi’s 1989 hit I’ll Be There for You. Steven likes the performance so much that he has to be censored, but warns James to not get too "poppy." Oh, and James, Stefano, Casey, and Paul have formed a band. Hopefully the contestants that weren’t invited to join will create rival band to make things interesting in the mansion.

Haley Reinhart takes on 1990's I’m Your Baby Tonight by Whitney Houston. Jennifer loves her vocals, but thinks she seem tense and unsure of herself. Randy wonders if she even knows who she is, and Steven compares her to Janis Joplin. Haley also got lipstick all over her teeth and microphone.

Stefano Langone sang 1989's If You Don't Know Me By Now by Simply Red. Randy calls it the best performance of the night, Jennifer and Steven agree that he gave an outstanding performance.

Another great performance of the night, the white jumpsuit-clad Pia Toscano sang 1988’s Where Do Broken Hearts Go by Whitney Houston. Randy can't contain himself and goes crazy while she's singing. Naturally, all three judges thought she nailed it, and Jennifer said that Pia has an angel watching over her. Whoever the angel is, she will likely be taking Pia all the way to the finale.

Born in '93, Scotty McCreery surprises no one by singing Travis Tritt’s Can I Trust You with My Heart -- yet another country cong. The judges like it, although his performance wasn’t much different than in previous weeks.

Karen Rodriguez sings 1989’s Love Will Lead You Back by Taylor Dayne, delivering a pretty flat performance, but the judges didn’t seem to mind… too much. At least her mother's commentary was entertaining.

Casey Abrams gives one of the more entertaining performances of the night, singing Nirvana’s 1991 monster hit Smells Like Teen Spirit. He’s no Kurt Cobain and his vocals weren’t perfect for the song, but Randy called him fearless for taking the risk.

Lauren Alaina has the flu, but it's hard to tell by her rendition of 1993’s I’m the Only One by Melissa Etheridge. Despite being sick, she easily outshines the other ladies in the competition. With such an impressive flu-ridden performance, Randy jokes that Lauren should “have a cold every week!”

Jacob Lusk closed the night on a high note with an emotionally-charged version of 1987’s Alone by Heart. Randy calls it "genius, dude”, the way he “caressed” the ending of the song.

All in all, whatever sickness has been floating around the Idol mansion made for some lackluster performances, but some managed to push through and excite the judges. With Thursday’s elimination, expect the girls to be at risk this week.
