Colton Dixon Makes Like Stevie Wonder on American Idol With "Lately"

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Stevie Wonder. Colton Dixon. Those two things may seem like oil and water, and vocally, the latter’s rendition of the former’s “Lately” was not up there with the likes of Phillip Phillips . Nevertheless, he overcame any shortcomings in his pedigree and made do with effort and charisma … and besides, he’s got the heart throb thing down. How much you like Colton Dixon likely depends on your age and gender, and how far he lasts this season will hinge on whether he can expand that appeal. His “base” got him here, but he needs swing voters to carry him to the next level. Can it happen? An open question, but he’s not going home after this: Colton Dixon – “Lately” (American Idol Top 13)

Josh Ledet Makes a "Wish" on American Idol

“Mantasia” himself, Joshua Ledet, led off American Idol’s Top 13 with a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” that he said was “totally out of my comfort zone.” With a little help from a piano player with a gospel background similar to Joshua’s, you wouldn’t have known it Wednesday night. He did a nice job with it. A pretty safe performance, perhaps, but a respectable one. “You just wore it out, at the top of the show,” Randy Jackson, never one to exaggerate at all, tells him. “You’ve got this amazing Church of God in Christ kind of voice … If you feel the beat and rock like that, you can sing anything.” Watch Josh Ledet perform below and see if you agree: Joshua Ledet – “I Wish” (American Idol Top 13)
