Lee Dewyze opened the show with "Kiss From A Rose" from Batman Forever, but the judges were not very impressed with the rocker this week because he had out of tune issues. Simon Cowell even said it was verging on karaoke. Although, his family still stood proudly cheering him on.

Up next was Big Mike, who sang "Will You Be There For Me" from Free Willy. But Simon seemed more preoccupied comprehending what Free Willy was while the judges explained why they weren't thrilled with his predictable performance. His wife, Christa Angelelli, was still a permanent fixture, clapping and smiling from ear-to-ear after his performance.

Michael told reporters about Simon's comments, "Focus on what's real, focus on what we're here about... But I love that guy."

"It's a very intimate song," Lee told reporters. "It's a very emotional song. If anything, I think it helped me to just get into the song by being that close and singing."

Crystal added with a smile, "I like Lee and his music. We had a great time."

The award-winning performance of the night went to Crystal, for her rendition of "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack. Her boyfriend, Tony (clad in loose American flag drawstring pants and a bright blue t-shirt) was doing more than alright as he was spotted dancing while Mama Sox jammed on stage.
