We were hoping that having the other American Idol season 13 finalists pick their songs for them was going to get some of these singers out of their comfort zones. It’s time to shake things up and give us some ‘wow’ moments ladies and gentlemen! We think a couple of the great song choices for the ‘Competitor’s Pick’ round may have delivered just that. It was a night for several firsts on American Idol 2014 this week. Not only is this the first time contestants chose songs for each other, it’s also the first time the finalists were allowed to tweet live during the show! Keep an eye out on Twitter for #idolLive tweets from your favorite singer in future episodes. Former The X Factor USA judge Demi Lovato was in the house this week as a little bit of a surprise. She’s going to be hanging out as kind of an unofficial ‘fourth judge’ with mentor Randy Jackson near the stage. Could this be a foreshadowing of a possible pick to replace Jennifer Lopez next season? (J-Lo booked a TV show for next year and we think she probably won’t be coming back.) Demi Lovato talked about herself for a bit and how she just finished up her Neon Lights tour in the U.S. and she’s about to head out to South America. Nice to see you Demi, but we’re here for the music, not the self-promotion, okay? More silliness here and there, and let’s just get on with the performances, shall we? American Idol 2014 Top 7 Performances Caleb Johnson: Kings of Leon’s “Family Tree” Judges: Keith said that was “a good choice man!” He loves that friggin’ song and it was a great choice for Caleb. The way he took it way up really highlighted his strengths. He is just a consistent, dynamic performer week after week. Jennifer said she loved Caleb. “It’s dangerous for them to put you first in the lineup, because now everyone else has to raise their game… That was pretty amazing.” Harry thought it was a great song choice and he liked how Caleb changed the melody up. Vote for Caleb: Text 13 to 83676 Call 1-855-4-IDOL-13 (1-855-443-6513) Jessica Meuse: Miranda Lambert’s “Gunpowder and Lead” Judges: J-Lo said she is a fan and really loved Jessica’s voice, but she was a little off in the verses and just seemed a little uncomfortable. “It just didn’t seem natural to me.” Harry gave Jess a long lecture about going home and dancing to hip-hop or funk in a mirror and learning how to get on the rhythm from the body to the neck up. Keith said said he loves Jessica’s voice and she can really speak to him when she gets the right song. On this one, however, there was a “dissipation of energy” and Jess just didn’t connect with the song and was just “sort of like wandering around.” He said she needs to get centered and get serious.
