"Todrick's back!" was Jackson's response to Todrick Hall's performance of "Somebody to Love," while Cowell said it was a mixed performance but may have saved Hall, 24, of Arlington, Texas, from elimination. Alex Lambert's version of "Trouble" drew mostly favorable critiques, including a highly creative offering from DeGeneres. "You're becoming a mushy banana. You're ripening so fast," she said. Translation: The 19-year-old from North Richland Hills, Texas, is getting better and better. Aaron Kelley, with "I'm Already There," showed he has the "makings of a great," Jackson said, and Cowell lauded his emotional delivery
-- while dismissing DioGuardi's contention the song about a man away from his family was too old for the 16-year-old from Sonestown, Pa. Lee Dewyze, 23, of Mount Prospect, Ill., showed "there's a star bubbling there" with his version of "Fireflies," said DioGuardi, while Cowell said he was better than the performance but had a "great chance" of making the top 12. If not, DeGeneres could set him up on a date as a consolation prize: She's heard from several people with crushes on him, she said.
