The American Idol Season 9 Top 12 boys/guys/men performed for the first time live on the Idol stage on Wednesday (February 24). Todrick Hall completely transformed Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone”, giving it an R&B vibe and also making it totally unrecognizable (watch video below). Simon Cowell said he murdered the song on that stage and that he is trying too hard and comes up like a dancer trying to sing instead of a singer who can also dance. Kara DioGuardi finally applauded his creativity.
