Katelyn Epperly: American Idol Top 10 Girls

he most memorable performance of Wednesday night's show undoubtedly came from Katelyn Epperly, who took Coldplay's "The Scientist" (from their massive 2002 album A Rush of Blood to the Head) and slowed it down to a crawl that focused on the song's deep-seeded pathos. By focusing on the lyrics (and thus on her voice), she revealed something about "The Scientist" that may not have been entirely evident before (namely that it's an incredibly devastating tune about being lost). She made the chorus cry, especially the line "Nobody said it was easy." The judges may have been lukewarm, but "The Scientist" absolutely ruled.

omg american idol, i can't believe this! katelyn was my top 3....she's beautiful and sings well

[Doobie1975]

I definitely agree that Season 9 sucked, it would have been so much better if Katelyn, Lilly, Janell, Tyler, Joe and Alex were in the Top 12 instead of Katie, Lacey, Paige, Tim, Aaron and Andrew, they totally fucked things up with these contestants going home before the Top 12

season 9 was the worst ever. they sent home the BEST people and kept the worst. Glad the new judges stepped it up for season 10!

Katelyn singing "The Scientist" put me under her spell. It was magic. Pure and beautiful. Would it be faster it would have lost its charm. She has a great voice and the judges definitely underrated her.

i really think idol should chage there format so that you can come back if you dont get into top 10 after top 24. its not fair that 14 singers cant come back. or dont have a top 24, just go into the top 10

most underrated performance in idol history!

[kristinecamacho2]

The most underrated performance of the season! Those judges are idiots.

[missenjie]

fantastic! but i still think that the original version better..

[BobozBeauty]

Katelyn is the BEST! :) She was my neighbor, back in Iowa (Now she lives in LA) and she was my babysitter. :)

Simon always talked about a "magic moments" on American Idol and this was the Best "Magic Moment" that ever took place in my opinion....Don't know what the judges were thinking or the audience. I presume the Audience listened to the negativity of the judges rather than Katelyn's performance...If they (audience/and judges) could have given her more positive reviews and better song choices like this one she may have won the entire competition. She's had dope vocals!
