I also loved watching the judges react to Erivo. ![]() (Oh, nary a hand in sight? I thought as much.) Anyway, this was an incredible duet, and I can’t say I’ve ever heard a better performance of the classic Cyndi Lauper tune. ![]() Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon with Cynthia Erivo, “Time After Time” | Raise your hand if you’re surprised that Idol saved this pair for last. (You know, this might get confusing.) The two singers formed an immediate bond when they met, developing a chemistry that came through in their stunning, stirring harmonies. This felt like we were just sitting in on two genuine artists having themselves a jam sesh.ĭimitrius Graham and Lukas Graham, “Love Someone” | I have a few questions about Graham’s footwear tonight, but I wouldn’t change a thing about his duet with… Graham. (Those runs!)Īlejandro Aranda with Ben Harper, “There Will Be a Light” | The hats! The beautiful simplicity! Those harmonies! I defy you to find one thing you didn’t absolutely love about this fated pairing. I loved that she took every opportunity to showcase her bottomless bag of vocal tricks. Deep breaths.)

Ryan Hammond with Cynthia Erivo, “Hold On, I’m Coming” | This was among the weirder song choices of the night, but Hammond managed to ride the funky waves throughout, even if he didn’t necessarily embody any of that funk himself.

Paxton? ‘I Choose Me?’ How Did Devi End It All? - Plus, Grade It!Įddie Island with Lukas Graham, “7 Years” | Another singer who took his critiques to heart, Island agreed to drop his “exaggerated goofiness” in order to expose his “incredible vocal talent.” And that’s exactly what he did with this solid duet, even if he looked super awkward sitting with his arm around Graham on those steps at the end. ![]()
