AMerican Idol - Top 13 Perform

Tonight, the Top 13 will be performing Michael Jackson's music. This should be interesting since usually contestants who sing MJ get pummeled by the judges. NOTE: 2 contestants will go home from tomorrow's results show.

Lil Rounds "The Way you Make Me Feel" comments: Mike (M) Alright; Jamie (J) good vocals and works the stage; Randy (R) this is the way to kick off Season 8 - you made the song new again; Kara (K) perfect! Wow! I hope we get to hear you on the radio!; Paula (P) dressed well, force to be reckoned with; Simon (S) good, disappointed - thought it was a lazy choice. Hates outfit.
