With the first theme on the show Songs by Michael Jackson, the Top 13 hopefuls were up against quite a challenge. Some rose to the occasion while others chose songs that resulted in performances that didn't quite connect with the judges. Whether a hit or a miss, one thing there was no shortage of was entertainment. Some singers even had the judges so impressed, they already predicted their futures in the finale.
