Colton Dixon took a bit of the life out of Lifehouse last night.
The American Idol finalist took to the stage and performed a version of “Everything,” trying his best to milk emotion from the ballad (and even shedding a few tears after it was over), but really just coming across as – dare we say it? – boring overall.
There were no major moments and nothing that really stood out from the audition, as evidenced by the judges restrained comments: Steven Tyler just said it was great; J.Lo said it was emotional; and Randy said Colton has “believability.”
We grant the guy that. We do believe he exists. We just wish he had gone in a different direction in this case…
