\n It was a night of Motown \u2013 music that, in the words of Steven Tyler, inspires “the rhythm of the kiss” \u2013 and also one of the most important nights of the season: The top 10 that will be announced Thursday go out on the American Idol tour.<\/p>\n

The performance caliber was pretty high \u2013 the word “pitchy” was not heard all evening.<\/p>\n

Jacob Lusk, who’s always quivery with soul and gospel, sang “You’re All I Need to Get By” \u2013 and prompted Steven to walk up from the judges’ table and hug him. Then his grandmother hugged him \u2013 Jacob’s, not Steven’s \u2013 and Ryan Seacrest invited everyone in the front row to do the same. Jacob held back this time \u2013 about time, actually \u2013 and he still had enough trills and licks to deliver a big performance without going over the top. Randy was so excited he came close to spontaneously combusting.<\/p>\n

In the recording booth, Casey was instructed to rein it in, too, and he certainly tried to on “Heard It Through the Grapevine” \u2013 with the difference that he sounded reined it. The rhythm was almost a march. But our three judges were happy: Steven called him the “perfect entertainer.” Randy and Jennifer Lopez praised him as a true original. “You can only do you, and that you is great,” Randy said.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t you have cried tears of joy if your grade-school teachers had told you that?<\/p>\n

Thia, saying she wanted to showcase her up-tempo side, finally clicked with a pop song on “Heat Wave.” She threw in the most charming little “ooooooo.” “It was great to see you let loose,” Jennifer said. “I need you to dig even deeper.” Steven’s take: “Just great. I’m good with it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
