This is the perfect example screaming isn’t always the answer. That was so beautiful yet both Kendra and Paul were almost whispering. They have a fantastic voice and work great together. And I love Paul. I believe he has that “je ne sais quoi”, but he needs to be smart when it comes to the song choices.

This is the toughest American Idol ever. After the Hollywood Week from hell, the best 60 contestants headed to Vegas for the Beatles Challenge, where they were forced to join voices in small groups of two or three members and perform songs from The Beatles’ catalog included in Cirque de Soleil’s show “Love”.
