American Idol 9: Top 9 Studio Versions

.. they're now down to 9! This week, the remaining Idols reprise the Lennon-McCartney songbook - a theme also tackled by Season 7 Top 12.

This is how I rank their studio versions for this week:

01. Siobhan Magnus
02. Katie Stevens
03. Lee Dewyze
04. Tim Urban
05. Casey James
06. Crystal Bowersox
07. Aaron Kelly
08. Andrew Garcia
09. Michael Lynche

Random Thoughts: I believe this is a solid effort for all of the Idol. Once again, Lee Dewyze proves to be a very very good recording artist. Siobhan is, as usual, very good and compelling. I am fairly impressed with Tim Urban. His interpretation of his song sounds contemporary, which is shocking. I'm not aware that he can be relevant somehow. Katie Stevens delivers another good studio recording - probably the same caliber as her live performance. Not crazy about Michael Lynche's recording though. I don't know. Something didn't quite work for me.

STUDIO VERSION
Aaron Kelly: The Long And Winding Road
Katie Stevens: Let It Be
Andrew Garcia: Can't Buy Me Love
Michael Lynche: Eleanor Rigby
Crystal Bowersox: Come Together
Tim Urban: All My Loving
Casey James: Jealous Guy
Siobhan Magnus: Across The Universe
Lee Dewyze: Hey Jude
