The first real elimination show of AMERICAN IDOL's thirteenth season opened with a mash-up of 'Counting Stars' by One Republic and 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons that sounded oddly auto-tuned, and looked obviously lip-synced.
On last night's AMERICAN IDOL performance night, dubbed 'This Is Me,' the Top 13 stormed the stage to perform the songs they most identified with. Take a look back at the highlights!
There have been a number of noticeable improvements to Season XIII of AMERICAN IDOL, including the inclusion of the best judge in the show's history, Harry Connick Jr., and the Boot Camp featuring Idol-made stars Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry. On the other hand, the new Rush Week was all kinds of disappointment; from Randy Jackson's not-so-triumphant return as the show's new mentor to the contestants having to sprint from their holding chamber to the stage to perform (mostly poorly) just moments after having their fates announced. Unfortunately, that unevenness reared its ugly head again in this week's Top-13 show.
For the first time ever on Vevo, AMERICAN IDOL XIII fans can get an exclusive sneak peak at each week's new episodes with IDOL INSIDER, a new weekly digital series hosted by Sam Tsu
