Plot

"American Idol" - "Hollywood Week, Part 4" - Feb. 14, 2013

The final day has arrived. The 47 women have one last solo shot in front of the judges to make it to the top 20 girls.

First up is Angela Miller who performs "You Set Me Free," an original song and plays the piano to accompany herself. She sounds a little in the Sarah McLachlan/Sara Bareilles vein with this piano ballad. There's a full band arrangement. It's really impressive. She's clearly very comfortable singing and playing. The judges love her and put her through.

Next up is Candice Glover who sings Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire." And she is. They love her too.

And then country girl and judge favorite Janelle Arthur. She does a lovely job on "I Told You So" by Carrie Underwood. Also through.

Next up is the quirky Zoanette Johnson who takes her larger than life personality and applies it to playing the drums while singing and gives the band some pointers to wing a song she made up onstage. She sings a song about the judges while pounding out a beat. She sings pretty well and she plays well enough to and then yells at the band. The judges laugh and cheer. She is put through as well.

Now we see Shubha Vedula sing "When You Believe" by Mariah and Whitney. Talk about a double risk. She's very diva-esque and does a good enough job to be put through.

Then Juliana Chahayed does "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac and is also just fine. She is put through.

Up next is Kez Ban who performs an original ballad. It's a little stiff and boring and draws very little response from the judges. She is sent home and is sad but takes it well.

They say the girls are blowing them away but not really showing us many of the auditions.

Up next is Ashlee Feliciano who isn't feeling well but is going to try her best. She sings a song called, maybe, "AThousand Years." And she hits some crazy high notes and holds it together well for someone not feeling well. Randy didn't like the serious song choice. She doesn't make it through.

We get a montage of people introducing serious songs and talking about their issues after Randy told them to lighten it up.

Melinda Ademi brightens things up and the judges are grateful and give her nice feedback. She is put through.

Next up is Kree Harrison who sings "Stars" by Grace Potter. Her parents both died when she was young and she hopes they're proud of her. It's a song with a big chorus and she nails it. Keith gets goosebumps. Keith says he's been fighting for her all along. Mariah says she's genuine. She is put through.

But there are 24 girls, 4 too many. So they come back for a final cut and some sing offs. Randy sends three home right away.

So he then he makes a few girls sing again in a sing off.

Stephanie Schimel sings for her life with Phillip Phillips' "Home." They like it. Rachel Hale displays some of the pitch problems she showed earlier on "Undone." But there are parts that are good too. Stephanie was better from a technical standpoint but they send her home and keep Rachel.

Randy congratulates the top 20.

Then the boys are called back for a similar cut, this time 8, and a sing off.

First up is Adam Sanders who sings "Taking Chances" by Celine Dion, it is very screechy and pitchy and not his best performance.

Next up is Josh Holiday who does "Georgia on My Mind," who is certainly much stronger than Adam was and very charismatic and tuneful. It's pretty flawless. He even splits his pants.

The final cut is Peter Garrett, Marvin Calderon, Devin Jones, Kenny Harrison, Will White, Tony Foster, David Leathers, Jr., and Adam Sanders. That's got to be particularly tough for Leathers, who is cut two years in a row at the same spot.

Nicki congratulates the remaining guys as the top 20.

And now they're headed to Vegas.
