American Idol Top 16 guys’ performance

The most contestant getting the most tweets for American Idol’s Top 16 guys’ perfomance is Lee Dewyze for his version of Owl City’s Fireflies (right). The original performed by Adam Young is a soft, melodic song that is one of my favorites of 2009. The American Idol version had me rushing for the remote to fast forward through the raspy out-of-tune version coming out of my TV.

However, most of the tweets are praising Dewyze’s performance. Go figure.

The stand out performance for me was Michael Lynche’s version of This Woman’s Work. It brought judge Kara DioGuardi to tears. Even so, I don’t think the guys came close to delivering performances equal to what the girls did last night.

I have uploaded the single covers for this evening’s performances to the AlbumArtExchange gallery.
