Jacob Lusk Shows Heart, Weakness

by at .

Jacob Lusk closed out the American Idol performance show last night - and may have finally showed some weakness.

The soulful crooner covered a 1987 Heart single, "Alone," coming on a bit strong with the vibrato and coming dangerously close to screeching instead of singing. But the judges still showered the finalist with praise, gushing:

"Gospel had a baby, and they named it Jacob Lusk" (Tyler) and "It is so amazing, so good" (Lopez).

What did you think of this rendition?

    He is a powerhouse singer and for those who do not have an ear for that type of soulful singing, you will never appreciate it. For example, I do not like country music. It always sounds "twangy" to me. Not real singing....corny. But, that does not mean that others will not like it or appreciate it. I felt that Jacob did a wonderful job! He has a gift and with any gift, there will always be haters. Just stay true to who you are and press on.

    It looks like his singing is painful and hurts him, it sure does me.

    The world is full of haters. Jacob Lusk is the best singer Idol has ever had. No discredit to Luther Or Marvin Gaye, but The young man is colder than both of them. They have had much success at hit records and he will too. Jacob if you are reading this I want you to pray for the haters! I'm out!
