American Idol 2013: Amber Holcomb Top 5 Best Perfomances on Season 12 [PHOTOS/VIDEOS]

Yes, Amber Holcomb is in the Top Final Four of American Idol 2013 and the judges continued their faith on the unassuming, quiet lady.

But Holcomb has been under the radar all throughout - - from Hollywood week and until live performances took off. Not this week. As if knowing when to take the center stage, Amber soared in the second top four final week of Season 12 of American Idol.

The judges have loved Amber all these time. But America has failed to notice her the same way they embraced hit songs performed by Angie Miller and Candice Glover. Amber didn’t even come close to outshining Kree Harrison, known for her great renditions of some country songs on Idol 2013. Until this week.

Amber has impressed the judges with her performance of “My Funny Valentine” on Top 4 final performance, with Harry Connick, Jr. as mentor for themes of song choices and classic standard. The young songstress was even sure it was her time to go this week, judging by her shock when the judges raved over her performance, even earning her a standing ovation.

Nicki Minaj described her as a “beautiful budding rose.” Head judge Randy Jackson said her performance this week was a “stellar,” nothing that Amber has just “made a believer out of a lot of people” with her song choice and delivery of the song. Mariah Carey said (what?), well just “thanked her for her effort and praised her spirit.” And Aussie judge Idol Keith Urban noted that it was “stellar” yes but only in the middle of the song until she hit that last high note “with elegance and beauty.”

The judges could not have done it better for Amber with their standing ovation. This week is clearly Amber’s best night. And her best performance. A johnny come lately, is it enough to steal the show from Candice and Angie Miller, if not Kree Harrison?
