Julia chose a great song. She sounds like a mix between Pink, Sara Bareilles, and a bit of JoDee Messina. 
 

Dillon’s song choice was smart too. 
 

Some of those choices though.... yikes. 

[KelseyW]

Idol really needs the Hanson songbook. Just saying...

Right? Why would you pick Sex On Fire to sing at a Hawaii family resort?

Agreed.  No wonder Francisco failed to make the Top 20!

francisco with falling!?!?!?!? omggggggggggggggg i live!!!!!!!

[Blirel]

Oh my. The updated song choices. Wow.

 

Francisco Martin singing Falling should be a highlight.

 

Lauren Spencer singing arguably Demi’s hardest yet best song you don’t do it for me anymore. 
 

Also I bet Devon slays Tell Me You Love Me. The song is perfect for him and I’ve been told he was one of if not the best at Aulani. 

[Carrie_On]

I knew Sex On Fire seemed like an odd choice for Francisco. He seems like he’d be embarrassed to even say the title lol.

Forgot to add that from the moment I learned that Sam going to do a Selena song which I had heard when I had the tape of her posthumous album, I was interested in hearing her.  And my interest in Sam (Just Sam) grew as I watched her on the show.  Then I heard her perform “Como La Flor” and now she’s my favorite!
