American Idol

Back in the U.S.S.R.

It's More Beatles Week! AI's rocker chick puts the Georgia in Soviet Georgia with a Southern rockified version that answers the immortal question: How do you drawl the word "balalaika"? Amanda's not the most versatile singer on the show, but she's been good at picking basic 12-bar songs that are within her range, and performs predictably but well enough. Paula and Simon want to hear her do a ballad. Free Bird! Free Bird!
