The right to liberty.
The right to pursue happiness.
And honestly, isnt that the dream were all shooting for?

Its top 10 time.
Four have been decided, but there are still six to be named.
Shes pregnant (again!!)
and joining the judging panel to grill our babies tonight.
Shes still as silly and charming as ever.
Tonights theme is songs that have been out sinceIdolhas been on.
Oh, theme nights.
OliviaRox, Unconditionally
Rank:Third
Heres whats hilarious we get to see baby videos of Olivia Rox watchingIdol.
I have not been an Olivia Rox fan, but this was a prime Katy Perry rendition.
Jennifer encourages her to really focus in on the big notes, which is fair.
Then she tries to show her vocally, which is just obnoxious.
Anyway, in her lead up package, we find out that apparently Brenda K. Starr still tours.
Isnt that a surprising fun fact!
It showcases the lack of maturity in her voice, even in her stronger moments.
Bonus points for the sparkly dress though.
That means that were all practically dead.
Lee takes on Skinny Love, and wisely doesnt depart too far from the original.
The performance is simple and trendy, but its not anything we havent seen from Lee.
Its just Bon Ivers songbook instead of Ed Sheerans.
and then she spends the next 45 seconds apologizing for calling him out.
A true Southern approach, if there ever were one.
FROM MY BRAIN TO LEE JEANS EARS, KELLY.
Avalon Young, Stitches
Rank:Eighth
Avalon, in my super expert estimation, is crazy nervous tonight.
But tonight, it seems like her nerves got to her.
All the girls in the audience scream for him for reasons that only generational gaps can explain.
But whats hard is that Tristans best moments are oftentimes tangled up in Tristans worst moments.
NEXT: Kelly picks a favorite, yall
MacKenzieBourg, I See Fire
Rank:Sixth
Ugh.
I cant stand how much I love my TV boyfriend.
And of course, his favoriteIdolmoment wasWilliam Hungs audition.
In a subtly shady turn of events, he takes on Lee Jeans initial audition song.
LaPorshaRenae, Diamonds
Rank:First
That power cape.
That standing mic performance.
That vague throwback toWhitney HoustonBoydguardjewelry.Im completely here for LaPorshas look tonight.
And her rendition of Diamonds is justnearlyspot on.
I love these guys too, but… it would appear that LaPorsha has a jump on the game.
Very haute couture, but without trying, ya know?
If she continues at this pace, I wouldnotbe disappointed to see Sonika win.
Thats kind of how I feel about Trents performance tonight.
His runs were good, but almost slipped away from him.
Tonight felt a little saturated.
With that being said, Trent still rose above most of the rest tonight.
Theres not much to say about Kellys vocal because shes just incredible.
Its an emotional night for all involved.
Kelly Clarkson is, and always will be,theAmerican Idol.
