Jen Hirsh vs. Elise Testone: Who is the One and Only?

For their first live auditions of season 11, both Jen Hirsh and Elise Testone covered the same Adele song last night. That has to be an American Idol first, right? Even more incredibly? The track was NOT “Rolling in the Deep!” Instead, each of these hopefuls delivered a version of “One and Only,” with Randy complimenting Jen for her R&B “swag” and then J. Lo taking it a step further for Elise, who sat at a piano for her performance. “You may be the best singer here,” Lopez told Testone. Listen to both now, compare them to other contestants such as Shannon Magrane and then vote on your favorite cover: Jen Hirsh – One and Only Elise Testone – One and Only Whose version of Adele did you prefer?
