Elise Testone, Jermaine Jones off their game on 'American Idol'

She's not bad; nice drive to it. Another song I'm not crazy about, but she has an interesting tone to her voice that's coming out. If you're already a fan of Testone's you'll like it, but not like she's making any mass converts Wednesday night.

"It's just like, that one wasn't good."

She admits afterward to Ryan Seacrest that she didn't really know the song, but then says, "there's no excuse, you've got to find a way to make it your own, no matter how much time you have."

Deep-voiced Jermaine Jones follows, singing Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off My Feet." Blige calls it "perfect for his voice," Iovine loves him too. He's really trying to shape the notes and the song; wanna love it, but don't, it's not flowing.

Winds up being just an average performance for me, won't remember it by the end of the night. Not sure what was missing; maybe nerves got in the way.

"That song fits you like an Armani suit," says Steven Tyler. Jennifer Lopez calls him a "sweetheart," wants him to connect more with the song. That's exactly right; she tells him to "relax, really sing to somebody -- sing to me!"
