The theme for the week is Songs of the Rat Pack.

Here are the perfomances and what the judges said about them:

Kris Allen - “The Way You Look Tonight”

Randy said: I think this was your best performance to date. You took your time. You told a story.
Kara said: You have set the technical standard to high tonight. Unique approach to the song. You are a dark horse.
Paula said: You are a sophisticated gentlemen.
Simon said: It was good but it was a little bit wet. You’re like taking a well trained spaniel for a walk. I don’t think you can win this competition.
