The nine remaining finalists picked their own iTunes best-seller songs for this week. Though most song choices were questioned by the judges.
Anoop Desia picked Usher's up-beat song, "Caught Up." The three judges liked it but Simon said it gave him a headache. Danny Gokey sang "What Hurts the Most" by Rascall Flatts. Cowell said that it was his best performance in the competition.
The 16-year-old finalist, Allison Iraheta sang No Doubt's "Don't Speak." The judges weren't buying it completely. Simon even criticized her funky outfit. Other finalists did well too like Adam Lambert who sang "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry. By the way, I didn't know that's a 33-year-old song! And it's still a relevant dance song.
The best performer this week was Kris Allen. He sang "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. It sounded good me, to the judges and of course to the (screaming) fans.
During the results show, David Cook performed as well as Lady Gaga towards the end of the show. The shocker was when Allison stepped into the bottom three spot. I think she's good. It may not be a great performance but she's a good singer. And I'm just surprised that she doesn't have enough fan base to keep her out of the bottom three.
Anoop and Megan joined her. Allison was safe. Then Megan got the lowest number of votes. "I'm okay." she said after the announcement, hugged Anoop and smiled to the crowed.
Ryan then asked Simon if he's willing to use the save for Megan. Simon harshly said that he's okay for her to leave. I wish I could quote him verbatim since his words were really harsh. Megan still smiled and said, "I'm going home." to her baby.
Next week, they'll be singing songs from the year they were born.
