VIDEOAngie Miller may have risked elimination on Wednesday’s “American Idol” with a cover of Rihanna’s hit “Diamonds.”
The Top 4 contestant changed the arrangement of the track and played the piano — usually a surefire way for her to get a standing ovation — but this time, the judges weren’t biting.
“I commend you doing an original take on that,” Keith Urban began before telling Miller it was the wrong song to change up, and that he expected the song to “soar.”
Noted Nicki Minaj, “This was different than any other piano performances… It was bland, it was lackluster. You can do a lot better.”
Randy Jackson said the song choice was “interesting,” but complained, “It just didn’t go anywhere… I didn’t love it.”
And Mariah Carey told Miller, “I do feel like you tried to take it to another place, but I also must agree… that you were playing to the camera more than the usual Angie lost in the moment of playing.”
The negative comments were a far cry from last week, when the panel said Miller’s performances were the best of the night.
