Tonight the the contestants must perform songs from the movies. Jamie Fox is the mentor for the week. He is both a multi-platinum R&B artist and actor. He won an Oscar for his role as Ray Charles in Ray.
The contestants also performed duets, Casey with Mike and Crystal with Lee.
Jamie brought t-sheets with him saying ‘contestant’ and ‘artist.’ During his mentoring session with them, he gives them the shirt that he feels that represent them. He gave Lee an ‘artist’ shirt. He gave Michael the ‘contestant’ shirt because he couldn’t remember the words right away but Michael refused that shirt and said he was coming for the other one. Casey James received ‘artist’ shirt and, of course, Crystal received the ‘artist’ shirt, as well.
Lee DeWyze – Kiss From a Rose by Seal
- Randy – “You did nothing with that song. “ “Choose some other rock sort of song.” “It didn’t work.”
- Ellen - “There could have been more done with the song.”
- Kara - “You got lost a little. You had some out of tune issues but you can’t take away from the fact that you are still great.”
- Simon - “That was verging on, I’m afraid to say, karaoke.”
Michael Lynche – Will You Be There by Michael Jackson
- Randy - “It was just alright.” “It started kind of rough.”
- Ellen - “You always sound good.” “It was a little but predictable.”
- Kara - “I know you have more.” “You played it safe.”
- Simon - “A least you gave it 100% and I kind of felt that you meant it.”
Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox - Falling Slowly from the movie Once
- Randy - “That could be a hit right now.”
- Ellen - “God! That was great!”
- Kara - “One of my favorite moments of the entire season.” “You brought out the best in both of you.”
- Simon - “I would call it a fantastic song.”
Casey James - Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel
- Randy - “You sounded cool.” “It was a cooled, laid back kind of version of that song.”
- Ellen - “I like that you came back a did something different with the song, and, for a minute, I thought you were going to go further with it but you didn’t.”
- Kara - “This is you fighting to stay in the competition cause this is where you’re not comfortable.”
- Simon - “I didn’t think the song, or the performance, had the substance required on this important night.” “It was a little bit lazy.”
Crystal Bowersox – I’m Alright by Kenny Loggins
- Randy - “At least you tried to switch it up and make it somewhat interesting and fit you.”
- Ellen - “That performance just got ‘Crystalized.” “You actually took that song and made it better.”
- Kara - “Artist!”
- Simon - “You, Crystal, are back in the game.”
Casey James and Michael Lynche – Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? by Bryan Adams
- Randy - “You guys sounded really good. Nice one!”
- Ellen - “As a matter of fact, I have loved a woman.”
- Kara - “The duets tonight were incredible!”
- Simon - “That was really good. Well done!”
