Round One: Judges' Choice
• Joshua performed Etta James's "I'd Rather Be Blind". Steven Tyler told him. "Out of 70,000, there's only one American Idol and you sang like that one tonight."
• After Jessica's version of Mariah Carey's "My All," Steven told her: "You'll be the last one standing here, I believe."
• Phillip sang "Beggin'" by Madcon, which was Steven's choice. The Aerosmith frontman told Phillip: "I'm really hoping you write your own songs because you could be the new age Boss," referring to Bruce Springsteen.
Round Two: Contestants' Choice
• Joshua sang "Imagine" by John Lennon. Jennifer Lopez told him, "It's almost like you're preaching when you sing. The way you're willing to dig deep ... it was makes you very special [and] that takes courage."
• Jessica sang Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Steven was impressed, telling her: "You just took a great song and made it greater".
• Phillip sang "Disease" by Matchbox Twenty but it wasn't as well received. J.Lo told him, "I didn't feel like it was the wow performance." The crowd booed but Randy Jackson agreed, telling Phillip. "It was just such a subdued moment from you".
Round Three: Jimmy's Choice
• Jimmy picked Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama" for Joshua. Randy told him, "You have laid everything on this stage that there is to lay. That's what being a great artists is about." Jennifer added: "You have this perfect marriage of knowing exactly what you're doing and letting completing go at the same time."
• Jessica was given "I'll Be There" by Jackson Five, which was "the perfect song [for] the perfect voice," according to Steven. But Randy said, "I didn't love it. ... There was never a moment moment."
• And to close out the show, Phillip hit it out of the park with "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger, which earned him a standing ovation from the judges. Steven said, "You just showed you've got all that passion wrapped up inside you," while Randy called it "the perfect song, at the perfect time and your best performance on this show ever."
