Dalton Rapattoni American Idol 2016 Top 4 Performances [VIDEOS]

Dalton Rapattoni edged out Sonika Vaid this week to take the final spot in the American Idol 2016 Top 4. However, we think it will take a miracle effort by his fans to push him through to the finale. You never know though, it’s happened before that someone unexpected makes it to the final two. Unfortunately, it seems rather unlikely, especially based on Dalton’s song choices this week.

For his classic rock song, Dalton performed “God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys. The song arrangement was odd, and he just did not come across as genuine. The American Idol judges were more fond of the song choice than I was, apparently. Keith Urban liked the song choice, but he wasn’t all that overly praising of the performance. Jennifer Lopez thought it was a beautiful song, but her praise was also a bit lackluster. Harry Connick Jr. told Dalton it was a good time to show his vulnerable side, although we think he already did that better in previous performances.

For his second song of the night, Dalton Rapatonni took on “Bird Set Free” by Sia in a bid to hopefully impress viewers enough to somehow climb his way into the finale. Although Dalton gave another emotion-laden performance, his emo vibe seems to be wearing on the American Idol judges a bit. He is clearly not the best singer, and tends to hide that with being overly dramatic, which he seems to have done with this performance as well. Jennifer Lopez told Dalton it was beautiful to watch and he touches hearts. Harry said it was powerful and thought it was a good song choice. Keith Urban gave Dalton some praise, but it kind of sounded like it was more of a backhanded bit of criticism.

  1. Dalton for top 3 and 2

    Not only his look byt his voice is also great
    This four contestants have their own voices so can’t compare. They have their own genre. Even I don’t too sad because Sonika is eliminated and I ready for this already. So La Porsha and Dalton for top 2. Go Dalton Go Dalton Go …

      • Ha! I don’t understand why they were so nice to him. They kept beating around the bush of his average vocals. Emotional connection is hard to accomplish when your vocal ability isn’t that great. Trent absolutely blew both Mack and Dalton outta the water tonight.

      • Hallo my dearest Collin! This is about Dalton page. So I don’t know why you are so kind to your Trent too? We are Team Dalton so it is up to us if we loved Dalton very much. For us Dalton is good enough to blow the american idol tonight. So no offense okay. If you support Trent you just go to about Trent performance tonight page. This is Dalton’s of course full of Dalton supporters. Dalton and La Porsha for Top 2

  3. Dalton still my favorite. I thought the first song was okay, loved the second one. Don’t really care for the other contestants. I’m surprised how many fans Mackenzie has. I used to like Trent but does he not like Dalton…he always has this annoyed look on his face after Dalton is done singing. I’d rather see Dalton with LaPorsha in the finale.

    • Agree very much with you dear
      Mackenzie and Trent a little bored
      While Dalton improve every week
      I also don’t care
      La Porsha also great every week
      La Porsha and Dalton for Top 2
      Please vote. If I can, I would love to vote him
      And he deserved to have all my vote after Olivia and Sonika eliminated

  4. They should put the second song on iTunes. I can see him going far when the competition is over regardless of the results.
