LOS ANGELES, CA
The eccentric pop superstar pushed the Fox singing competition's
top four finalists to add theatrics to their Wednesday performances
of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller songs. Her advice that Scotty
McCreery should pretend that the microphone is his girlfriend
prompted the deep-voiced 17-year-old country crooner kiss the cross
around his neck.
Lady Gaga's out-there direction didn't seem to deter McCreery,
who impressed the judges with his rollicking take on The Coasters'
"Young Blood" and heartfelt rendition of Alan Jackson's "Where
Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)." Randy Jackson told
McCreery that he was "ready for superstardom, and I hope you make
it."
One of the top four finalists will be eliminated Thursday.
