Last night the American Idol top six performed, both separately and together, the songs of Carole King. Did Jacob Lusk do the legendary artist justice?

With a fun, energetic take on the hit “Oh No, Not My Baby,” we would say so. Whether it’s enough to keep him around another week is another issue.

Performing in the dreaded opening slot (another act of sabotage, perhaps) won’t help. He needed someone else to stumble, and they didn’t really.

Still, you never know, and he added a fun duet with James Durbin later in the show. Watch them perform “I’m Into Something Good” below:
