And the last performance of the Semi-Finals goes to…
Ace Young! Ace is last to grace the Idol stage tonight, but before he sings, he tells us that times were tough when he first got to LA, and he had to take a lot of odd jobs to make ends meet. He brags that he’s quite a handy man, and I think about how I could definitely use a gardener if this whole Idol thing doesn’t work out for him.

Ace is singing “Butterflies,” and his falsetto sounds pretty darn good. The audience agrees and there are loud cheers and screams all through his performance.

Randy was worried when he heard Ace’s song choice, but Ace totally pulled it off with a great falsetto. Paula says Ace’s rendition was better than the original and that Ace is a major talent. Simon thinks Ace made the performance work, although he struggled through parts of the song.

We must be running out of time, because Ace doesn’t get to have any banter with Ryan. I think Ryan just feels inferior standing next to Ace.
