No one, no one, but Alicia Keys could mentor the Top 7 as they perform inspirational songs Tuesday night as a warm-up for Wednesday's "Idol Gives Back" extravaganza. But which "Idol" finalist will viewers give back?
GOING HOME Michael Lynche
Having already done "In the Ghetto," "Ready for Love" and "This Woman's Work," Big Mike has been a little too awww-inspiring. The judges saved him once, but viewers won't be so kind.
SECOND LOWEST Aaron Kelly
After two poor weeks, Aaron has been livin' on a prayer. Unless he redeems himself this week, it will be time for him to say amen.
THIRD LOWEST Tim Urban
First he was afraid, he was petrified . . . and now look at him. Teflon Tim should sing "I Will Survive" after lasting longer than anyone could have guessed.
- Daniel Bubbeo
GOING HOME Tim Urban
It's been inspirational seeing Turban, who never even made the original Top 24, rise to the Top 7. Will the tweens keep singing "can't help falling in love with you" or turn their hero back into a zero?
SECOND LOWEST Aaron Kelly
Nice kid, but if you believe he can go the distance you'll be disappointed. The grandma vote may like his old-fashioned style, but we're betting they won't give till it hurts to keep him safe.
THIRD LOWEST Michael Lynche
His rendering of "This Woman's Work" was truly moving, but his cocky "Eleanor Rigby" nearly taught him where all the lonely people come from. Will this week find him humble or humbled?
