Paula picked Danny’’s song; “Dance Little Sister” by Terrence Trent D’Arby.
The judges ofcourse put in their two cents. Randy smiled saying “way to jump it off ” and calling it “dope.” Kara said she liked the song choice and it was the “money spot” but did not like the dancing. “Way to go,” said Paula also adding “way to go.” Simon called Danny’s dancing “desperate” and said he would have picked a different song.
Danny slowed things down with “You are so Beautiful” by Joe Cocker.
Randy said that this just proved why Danny is here because he can sing. Which is what this competition is about. Kara said “everything you didn’t do in your first performance you just did it” calling Danny’s performance “stunning.” Paula said that he showed his gospel and R&B part of his voice and that he “nailed it.” Simon said the song did not need rearranging calling it a “vocal masterclass.”
So how will American vote? Will Danny go on to be in the Top2?
This was definitely Danny’s best performance in quite some time on Idol. I think he finally really took a chance and it really paid off. Being in the Top 2 proved it! With only 4 left, now it’s getting VERY interesting!
