The energy must be better live at the Nokia Theatre. We would've liked this to be more high energy. The performance: The groove and vocal qualities work well, but the Alabama boys feel more like backup singers to us and less like collaborators. Hat tip to Richard Marx as well for letting his classic song get mangled. He really can't sing, but he gamely cheeses it up and holds out that shaky note as well as he can. T he performance: Um, we actually have to give our host a little credit. It's a nice quiet moment in such a 'high-octane finale' ( Ryan Seacrest's words, not ours). The performance: Jason's voice is just miles better than Alex's, but their styles - even down to their twitchy legs - match up well. She's such a strong performer, and we feel that just a few more years of experience will make all the difference. She loses the glasses and her usual quirk-monster ways. Where is she?! (Ah, Twitter tells us that she is ill.) Malaya does a great job, though. Let's just say we're surprised that MK isn't the one singing 'All of Me' with him, since that was one of her best songs on the show. The performance: John does his thing first and oozes romance. But perhaps they want to promote a party atmosphere? All the giant yellow beach balls give that impression. Instead of this upbeat song, we would've preferred something more dramatic with soaring vocals. We'd like to see her cover Tori Amos sometime, but we digress. The performance: Jena is back at the piano, which is definitely one of her strengths. This doesn't have the same energy as the guys' group performance somehow. Majesty looks cute as usual, but her voice sounds hoarse. (Remember Kristen and Emily? Neither do we.) We can see them as a girl group. She delivers her own single before the girls join her. The performance: Yes, we know that Demi has been angling to join Idol now that X Factor is over, and frankly, she's a good fit. Song(s): 'Don't Really Care' and 'Neon Lights' (Ford Fusions, not Mustangs this time.) Huzzah? Back to the music! To make this experience less about raking it in and more about giving back, each finalist invites their mentors to attend the Idol finale. flat again?! It's jarring.Дuring the interlude, Jena and Caleb get sweet new Ford Mustangs. The performance: While repetitive, it's a catchy song and suits a group performance well. PHOTOS: Scoop on CSI: Cyber and all the new fall shows And isn't that sweet? Caleb's 'little' brother Houston, who does paint his face a la Gene Simmons, gets to meet KISS on stage. Well, maybe he'll wait for results first. The performance: Aw, no face paint, Caleb? The wailing, the pyrotechnics, the headbanging, the busted guitars.

Not only does she know how to move - she even jumps on top of the judges table -but it must be taxing fighting off that wind machine. The performance: J.Lo is wearing what looks like blue macrame and fringe fetish gear. Their voices have that similar husky edge and work well. The performance: Nettles does a rousing version of 'That Girl' before Jessica (now with more blue in her hair) joins her on stage for the Miley tribute to angst and nudity. Song(s): 'That Girl' and Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' (Find out why Phil is 'scared to death' about his second album here.) It's a good match, and let's hope that Phil's performance charisma rubs off on Sam. He starts off with 'Home,' which always gives us DIY dreams, before Phil takes over. The performance: You know it's the finale because Sam busts out an extra nice hat.
