Skylar Laine is back on "American Idol," singing a high-powered version of "Turn on the Radio" with Reba McEntire.

Laine's really fearless, she goes all out and seems right at home up there with a country superstar; they even look like mother and daughter.

Jessica Sanchez up next, reprising her show-stopping version of "I Will Always Love You." It might have been the best single performance of the season.

And I'm shaking my head again in disbelief; not quite the emotion of the first time, but still shows off her fantastic talent.

The male finalists -- sans Jermaine Jones -- then take the stage, doing a medley of Neil Diamond hits.

It's not that great; Colton Dixon stands out, and I'm always happy to see Heejun Han. And Joshua Ledet is electric as ever; but the other guys are forgettable, and there's no chemistry.

And then Diamond strolls out, singing "Sweet Caroline." He's one of my favorite singers; still gives it his all, even if his voice isn't what it used to be.

After a break, Jennifer Lopez heats up the stage as only she can; just fun watching her dance around up there, seems to love performing.
