American Idol 2013 Recap: WATCH Kree Harrison’s "Winning" Performances on 'Idol's Top Final 3 [VIDEOS/PHOTOS]
Kree Harrison’s Top Final 3 Performances on American Idol 2013
Who is going home this week on Idol? For most of America (and possibly, around the world) Kree Harrison’s name comes out of everyone’s mind when met with this question. This week on Idol is a make or break for one of the three lovely ladies who have remained strong in their footing in America’s most popular - - albeit low ratings - - reality TV shows. To be voted as the one to go home is what could be every “Idol” hopeful’s “worst nightmare” week in, week out. This week is Kree’s.
The three ladies had three songs each to convince America last night that each deserves to advance for the coveted final two. On the Top Final 3 episode on Season 12 of American Idol, it was clear that one of them has to go home. If Amber Holcomb made it difficult for the judges, her fellow Idols, America and the whole world to send her home with her heart-stopping performance of “My Funny Valentine,” during the second Top Final 4 last week, Kree had made it easy for everyone on Top Final 3 this week.
Of the three songs she was given a chance to earn more votes for a chance to stay for the final battle - - like for Angie Miller and Candice Glover - - Kree disappointed the judges and America twice (in rounds 1 and 3) and once, barely, for her passionate performance on round 2.
She didn’t start her night right with Pink’s “Perfect.” It came out flat and she failed to hit some of the big notes. As always, Keith has always been polite and simply said, "You're a country girl and it doesn't matter what you sing." Nicki Minaj was more direct when she noted “it felt very short to [her],” supported by Randy Jackson somehow when the head judge said, “You sounded good on it, but it didn't have a lot of pizazz to it."
Things got worst for Angie in round three of the performances. The Idol production picked "Better Dig Two" by The Band Perry and as if digging her own fate on Idol, Kree totally disappointed the audience and the judges as she was clearly out of breath in most part of the song. Mariah Carey had nothing to say (as usual),playing safe, she said, "[she likes] the sorrow more than the anger. That's just [her]." Keith was more tough this time when he pointed out “"It didn't feel right for me." Nicki noted, "That's not your comfort zone. Whoever picked that for you should be stoned," and Randy only added insult to injury when he emphasized that the song was “too ordinary” for Kree.
The judges’ pick for the week, Rascal Flatts's "Here Comes Goodbye," is Kree’s only “life-saver,” on Top Final 3 performance on Season 12 of American Idol. Though she came flat on some notes, it was her best performance for the evening. Kree sang with passion and it resonated on Mariah (as expected).
Mariah Carey: "I'm overwhelmed with emotion because I'm in awe of the purity of you," she said.
"This is one of your best performances to date because you felt every alive," Minaj said, according to People.com
But it wasn’t enough. Overall, Kree lost three rounds and Angie Miller and Candice Glover are expected to go head to head in the battle for final two.
