Other Idol judge Kara DioGuardi told Bowersox: "You just schooled all those other contestants." Bowersox's emotional display public wasn't the only out-of-character move for the dreadlocked folk singer. Tuesday night's set marked the first time that Bowersox hit the stage without her trusty guitar in hand. Standing amidst a sole spotlight and a mic, she began by stirring up a soulful semi-a capella version of Mayfield's classic, and just as the song winded down, Bowesox caught a glimpse of her father in the audience which helped prompt the tearful moment.

On an American Idol dedicated to the legendary Elvis, only one contestant “shook up” the judges: tween heartthrob Tim Urban.
After continuously serving up some notably lackluster performances (and falling into the bottom three), the Justin Bieber-coiffed pretty boy laid down an acoustic version of Can’t Help Falling In Love that soothed gaggles of girls in the Idol audience and had Simon Cowell singing praises. “You have managed to go from zero to hero in two weeks”, Cowell said. It was an impressive comeback for the youngster who was visibly shaken in consecutive weeks after receiving harsh feedback.
