Idol Wannabes Wow Judges
Simon Cowell was dazzled by blind singer Scott MacIntyre during the American Idol semi-finals.
The judge told the 23-year-old - who sang Bruce Hornsby's Mandolin Rain - he would be "amazed" if he didn't sail through to the next round of the TV talent show.
"In a sea of forgettable people tonight, you're the only one, actually, that I think that I'm going to really remember, who I actually think that's got some relevance," Simon said.
Simon and fellow judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi were also impressed by singer Lil Rounds.
Kara proclaimed that the 23-year-old was a "powerhouse" after she performed Mary J Blige's Be Without You, and Simon described the performance in a word - brilliant.
The American public will vote three of the hopefuls through to the Top 12, where they will join Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver, who have already won their places in the final stage.
Three more finalists will be picked by the judges during a special wild card round.
