American Idol 9: Top 7 Studio Versions

.. we're now left with the Top 7. It's Idol Gives Back week and the remaining Idols tackle inspirational songs. Was I inspired? I wouldn't say that. Haha. More of bored maybe. Anyway, here are their studio versions for this week:

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

01. Tim Urban
02. Lee Dewyze
03. Siobhan Magnus
04. Crystal Bowersox
05. Casey James
06. Aaron Kelly
07. Michael Lynche

Random Thoughts: Surprisingly, the best studio version for me this week is Tim Urban's. I don't know. He sounds very current. Amazing. Lee Dewyze, again, delivers another solid recording. I mean, he can't do no wrong when it comes to this. Now, if he can only translate this to his live performances, I'll probably not doubt him as a REAL contender for the title. Siobhan Magnus' studio version is unexpectedly gorgeous. Her key changes is unbelievable. Of course, Crystal also has a good studio recording. I prefer her live performance though. Now, as for Michael and Aaron, I think they give passable studio versions.
