Lee DeWyze sang "Simple Man" and "Hallelujah"

Crystal Bowersox sang "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Come to My Window"

Casey James sang "Daughters" and "OK, It's Alright With Me"

The judges praised Lee's performance of "Simple Man" and gave Crystal mostly positive remarks for her performance of "Come to My Window," but they were not impressed with Casey's rendition of "OK, It's Alright With Me."
