American Idol Recap: Survival of the Fetus
8. Tim Urban
Randy Jackson won the esteemed "Most Senseless Comment of the Night" trophy when he told McFly here that Matt Nathanson's "Come on Get High" made no sense for him. Then pray tell, what does? It's a simple song that even a mediocre voice could tackle. At this point, McFly aspires to "mediocre." When all is said and done, Tim turned in his best possible performance. Even though that's not saying much, no other performer achieved his full potential. Unless "onesie rocking" is a major criterion, of course.
7. Casey James
I expect The Shirtless Old Soul's position on this list to fluctuate often. While he's the least nervous contestant of the bunch, he also has no expectations to fulfill. Furthermore, I hate Gavin Degraw's "I Don't Want to Be" as an Idol performance number. You're forced into copycatting the vocals and keeping up with that sassy-dude melody. Casey's going to sail through to the Top 16, but he needs another cocoa-sweet acoustic jam to keep us baited.
