American Idol have each performed two songs for the first time as they prepare to be whittled down to just five.
First up the acts had to deliver a track by legendary songwriting duo Burt Bacharach and Hal David - followed by a song which they wished they had written themselves.
Amber Holcomb and Candice Glover impressed the most in the first round - performing I Say A Little Prayer and Don't Make Me Over respectively.
But the sole remaining male in the contest, Lazaro Arbos, was criticised for his off-key rendition of (They Long To Be) Close To You - with Randy Jackson summing things up by saying : "No. No. No. That was horrible."
Round two saw Angie Miller impress as she played the piano while singing Kari Jobe's Love Came Down, with Kree Harrison also making a good impression as she performed Kris Kristofferson's Help Me Make It Through The Night.
But it was Candice Glover who stole the entire show as she finished with a cover of The Cure's Love Song (inspired by Adele's cover).
Randy called it "one of the greatest performances on any talent show, ever" - while Mariah Carey just let the glitter do the talking by walking up to the hopeful and chucking a handful of the sparkly stuff over her.
