Dimulai dengan sejarah Motown, lagu-lagu mereka mereka melegenda dan penuh inspirasi. Dengan tema musik, para peserta yang memiliki ciri kuat pada vokal masing-masing, bisa jadi minggu ini adalah tantangan terbesar mereka. Apalagi dari angka 11, minggu depan kita akan memiliki 10 besar. Dan Motown bergerak seperti ini:
Casey Abrams – “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye – Kux Harrell – Producer
ST: Perfect entertainer, perfect pitch, crazy ass out of control ego. Beautiful.
JL: You can really really carve out a niche for yourself.
RJ: You are definitely a true original. You can only do you, and that you is great.
AI: I love the song but I hate his version to the song. Enggak matching, sama sekali. Dan penampilannya minggu ini semakin meyakinkanku dialah The Young Taylor Hicks. (7/10)
Thia Megia – “Heatwave” by Martha and the Vandellas – Producers: Tricky and Kux
JL: I feel like we’re scratching the surface great to see you let loose. You need to dig even deeper each week. Part of performing is acting. Connect to your lyrics.
RJ: It’s about taking chances. You took a chance tonight. You can take more chances, but you can really sing.
ST: You’ve taken a step out. I’m great, I’m good with it.
AI: Please America, berlaku adil lah. Thia pantas berada di 3 terbawah minggu ini. Dia sudah berada di 3 kondisi dimana 2 kondisi pertama dia bisa memilih lagu untuk membuatnya bersinar, dan meskipun tema Motown dianggap tidak menguntungkannya, tapi penampilan ini menyedihkan. Apakah dia lupa lirik? (5/10)
Jacob Lusk – “You’re All I Need to Get By” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
RJ: The great Barry Gordy is somewhere. Oh My God. You were like a true professional.
ST: You held it back. It was beautiful.
JL: You made us beg for those notes. You moved me. You moved us.
Standing ovation from all 3 judges!
AI: He’s good when he’s not oversing the song. Dan ini adalah salah satu momen itu. He’s in his element. (9/10)
Lauren Alaina – “You Keep Me Hanging On” by the Supremes – Producers: Rock Mafia
ST: You ripped that song another beauty mark.
JL: You look amazing! So much attitude! You brought it to life.
RJ: She’s got her swagger on high. She’s ready.
AI: I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! I love the b*tchy look, I love all of it. (9/10)
Stefano Langone – “Hello” by Lionel Richie – Producer: Darkchild
JL: : I want you to sing like you’re telling a story. I want the intensity to come like your heart is breaking.
RJ: The only thing your missing is that connection.
ST: You ramped up too soon. Pull back a little bit, and you’ll take off.
AI: Ini seharusnya minggu Stefano. Aku bingung kenapa orang-orang banyak yang menilai penampilan Stefano kali ini kacau. Dengar vokalnya dong. Superb. I LOVE YOU, STEFANO! (9/10)
Haley Reinhart – “You Really Got a Hold on Me” – Producer: Darkchild
RJ: It started a little rough. By the middle the Haley that we fell in love with came roaring back. I’m so happy.
ST: That was beautiful. You sang your heart out. You don’t look a day over fabulous. That’s the Haley I’ve been looking for since the day we heard you.
JL: You can do anything with your voice. You may have the most soulful voice on the girls side.
AI: HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!! Kalau udah kayak gini, apa America masih tega membuatnya nongkrong di 3 terbawah lagi? Aku setuju dengan Jennifer, effortless! (9.9/10)
Scotty McCreery – “For Once in My Life” by Stevie Wonder – Producer Jim Jonsin
ST: Just like Glen Campbell, Harry Nilsson. You took a big chance. You really ripped it.
JL: This was a great version of this song. You made it your own. Wasn’t your strongest vocal performance.
RJ: Not your strongest performance, but I was smiling the whole time. Maybe it needed to peak a little sooner. You’re a young lady killer!
I: Judulnya bisa jadi mari bermain aman bersama Scotty McCreery. Lagunya jadi aneh. Mengerikan. Odong-odong award minggu ini jatuh ke tangan Scotty. (5/10)
Pia Toscano – “All In Love Is Fair” by Stevie Wonder Producer: Harvey Mason Jr.
JL: You kill us with one of your killer ballads. I need you to start cooperate the dynamic.
RJ: You’re phenomenal. Give me a midtempo! Give me an uptempo. Bring something a little different.
ST: You are the closest star in this American Idol universe. It’s just beautiful.
AI: Randy, kill yourself! Pia is GREAT! Ini dia yang membuat enggak adil bagi mereka-mereka yang nyanyi dengan sempurna di antara mereka-mereka yang heboh dengan aksi panggung. Pia is GREAT! (10/10)
Paul McDonald – “Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson – Producer: Jim Jonsin
RJ: You’ve got a distinctive voice. I was worried when it started, you took it to a cool place. When you sing tender…oh my God dude. It’s so cool. Bring more of that out.
ST: Very different, like Dylan, like Willie Nelson. Just great.
JL: Most seasoned performer. You’re the complete package. All you need is a good producer, and there you go.
AI: Play it nice like Paul. It’s good and I like it. Dia enggak harus mati-matian menjadi dirinya tapi juga masih matching ke tema. (8/10)
Naima Adedapo – “Dancing In the Streets” by Martha and the Vandellas
ST: I don’t know what to say. E to the Z and tweedlee dee. I heard you came up with the drums and the dance yourself. Beautiful.
JL: You are an exciting performer. It was my first little goosebumps of the night. You have that little extra something on the stage.
RJ: I’ve been a little rough on you. Finally tonight, all of Naima showed up. You took your time to sing, everything was really smart tonight.
AI: Kalau Naima udah goyang, jadi enggak bisa fokus menilai ke nyanyiannya aja. It was hot performance. Meskipun nyanyiannya membaik, tapi aku enggak melihat American Idol yang aku mau di diri Naima. (7/10)
James Durbin – “Living For the City” by Stevie Wonder
JL: You are serious business up there. An incredible thing to watch.
RJ: When it started it was a little bit rough, When you finally hit your stride, it was unbelievable.
ST: I think it takes a little bit of being crazy to make a difference in this world. You nailed it.
AI: *speechless* (9/10)
Prediksi minggu ini dijamin meleset. Thia Megia, Scotty McCreery, dan Naima Adedapo ada di 3 terbawah. Dan yang tersisih tetap Haley Reinhart. Amerika enggak suka sama dia dan memang sudah harus nyerah dengan pilihan Amerika. Di tema Motown Season 6, Randy Jackson bilang jangan permainkan Motown sound. Motown harus tetap Motown. Dan dengan bertebarannya aransemen melenceng, juri malah nyengir. I think it’s time to move to The Voice or X Factor!

Shocking Result:
Bottom 3: Thia Megia, Stefano Langone dan Casey Abrams.
dan yang harus pulang adalah… Casey Abrams. Tapi, para juri memakai hak ‘SAVE’ mereka dan merekapun menyelematkan Casey Abrams dari tahap eliminasi. Berarti minggu depan kita akan kehilangan 2 finalis!
