Melanie Amaro took on R.E.M.’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ this week and for us it was a good song choice. It was a stripped down performance, just Melanie and a piano, and it worked beautifully.

Judges Comments

LA Reid: That was so not rock.

Nicole Scherzinger: I don’t know why I didn’t cry.

Paula Abdul: You brought us to church!

Simon Cowell: That reminded me of Adele and Alica Keys.
