American Idol's Stefano Langone Sings "Tiny Dancer" on Top 11 Revived

Stefano Langone, American Idol Season 10's 'Teen Idol', sings "Tiny Dancer". Idol hopefuls take on the classics by the legendary Sir Elton John in this week's 'Top 11 Revived' Show.

Interscope Producer Jimmy Iovine really cracked the whip on Stefano this week. "Tiny Dancer" is a very hard song to sing since it was written specifically for Elton John's voice. But, luckily, Stefano got it. This was a much better performance than last week! Stefano hit all the notes, and even invented a new word - ballerinum. Someone must have finally told Stefano that being 'emotional' and 'connecting with the audience' come from his voice, and have nothing to do with making excruciatingly painful faces with your eyebrows all screwed up. He still overacted and hammed it up a little, but nothing compared to previous weeks. I really liked him this week, and I think that relaxing his facial muscles kept him from being in the bottom 3 again. Jennifer Lopez said, "I could really feel you taking our notes, connecting with the audience. I really feel like you moved the crowd today. Amazing." 

Randy Jackson added, "What I loved about this performance, more than anything, you started connecting with the audience. Your eyes were open. I liked that you were moving around the stage. And when you hit the high note, when you hit the money notes, you were right on. Very nice job." Steven Tyler was delighted by Stefano again. "There’s a real sweet thing to your voice. Tonight, you just connected with the audience. You nailed it. I thought it was really good."
