Last night's (March 12) episode of American Idol was much more energetic and certainly entertaining, as the remaining eleven contestants performed memorable "Songs from the Cinema."

Sam Woolf sang the 1969 Beatles classic "Come Together" from Across the Universe. Before the performance, the behind-the-scenes footage featured his fellow contestants doing their best impression of Woolf -- which involved him being either very quiet or popular with ladies. The judges commented that it was refreshing to see a different side of him, however Harry Connick Jr. thought his performance was just "average."

Jessica Meuse performed the Simon & Garfunkel hit, "The Sound of Silence," from the 1960s iconic film The Graduate. She admitted to the host Ryan Seacrest pre-performance that she has had the song set on her list for numerous shows she performs at bars in Slapout, Alabama. Although it was one of Meuse's best performances, the judges believed that she has to step it up, as she did not take a risk. On the other hand, CJ Johnson wowed the panelists by singing "Can't You See" by The Marshall Tucker Band from the 2001 biopic Blow. Connick Jr. told him that he really pulled his way to the front of the competition, while Jennifer Lopez agreed by calling Johnson a "frontrunner!"

Dexter Roberts sang Lynyrd Skynyrd's famous tune, "Sweet Home Alabama," from America's favorite 1994 film, Forrest Gump. While doing the behind-the-scenes impression, his fellow contestant Caleb Johnson said Roberts couldn't take his hat off because he is missing the top part of his skull. To prove Johnson wrong, the contestant came onstage without his signature hat and gave a great performance, which audience, judges, and even contestants were singing along. Meanwhile, Ben Briley performed Elton John's hit "Bennie and the Jets" from the 2008 romantic comedy chick movie, 27 Dresses. He owned the stage with his original cover and flawless vocals. J.Lo, however, made a point that Briley's performance did not really seem true to who he was as a singer, as he has been very "country" so far.

Everyone had high expectations for Majesty Rose's performance, because she selected Idina Menzel's worldwide sensation "Let It Go," from Frozen, to sing. She could have been done better, as she missed a few notes. Harry Connick Jr. said Rose's performance was strong, but also mentioned that he is starting to lose sight of her style as a performer. However, Lopez disagreed, praising that Rose being "all over the map" is more of a positive thing because she can be anything -- a singer, actress, or theater performer.

Caleb Johnson sang Adele's "Skyfall" from James Bond film Skyfall. Meuse's humorous impression of him was -- "I'm like if Jack Black and Meatloaf had a baby." Since the judges have been advising him for a while that he needs to branch out from his retro choices, singing "Skyfall" was a great way to showcase his vocal talents while captivating his audience. M.K. Nobilette was another contestant who was able to connect with the crowd, as she performed Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" from the 1998 romantic drama movie Hope Floats. Last week, the judges told Nobilette that she had problems connecting with the audience. However, this time, Keith Urban commented that she "lost herself in the song," which enabled her to reach out to the crowd.

Alex Preston gave a very special performance by singing a beautiful love song, "Falling Slowly," by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova from musical film Once, while Jena Irene sang Paramore's "Decode" from Twilight. Irene got a standing ovation from the judge table, except for Connick Jr. Urban told the talented vocalist that, when she is on the piano, there is "ferocity" to her performance. The "Jenny from the Block" singer also agreed: "America, get on board!" Malaya Watson performed Jennifer Hudson's "I Am Changing" from Dreamgirls, getting another standing ovation.

So, who will be going home tonight?
