Tonight was the performances from the Top 8 on American Idol and front runner Angie Miller did not deliver.  The Idol darling had an off night for the first time in the competition singing the Smokey Robinson song, "Shop Around".  Miller had a different arrangement of the song for tonight which was a little bit more of a rock version then the original.  

The judges seemed confused by the performance as they are used to Angie stepping up when the lights are on.  

Here is what they had to say after her performance tonight.

Randy Jackson spoke first.  He said, "it came off strange to him" then added, "It's the first time ever that I've seen you on this show have such a pitchy perfomrance. I don't know if you couldn't hear in your ears, or whatever, or was it the right key...You're usually so right on, it was not right on tonight. It was not great tonight."

Keith Urban added, "For me, what it was is, the song-and it's a great song, Smokey, by the way-I think the melody kept pulling you down."  Urban continued, "You would soar in moments and then you would be pulled back down by the need of the melody.  "I really felt for you," he concluded, "but I will say that your talent is undeniable and we're going to be seeing you next week."

Mariah carey chimed in, "I wish you were back at the piano tonight."

Nicki Minaj seemed irritated tonight when speaking to Angie adding, "I don't think this has anything to do with whether you have undeniable talent, I think everyone knows that we feel that you do," an obviously exasperated Nicki launched into her critique. "And I don't think it has anything to do with the melody of the song. I think that you came out today to try to show a different side of Angie that didn't need to be shown.  You need to stop and enjoy that people are loving what you're doing. You don't have to try to be more overtly sexy, you don't have to try to be having fun. In the video, with [Jimmy Iovine] and Smokey, they're both telling you that it doesn't even feel like an organic choice just for your swag. Because even though you're saying the word now, so if your thing is not R&B or bluesy, switch it up and do what you shine at!  Don't try to come out here and give us another side. We ain't asked for another side yet!"

Stay tuned tomorrow night to Fox to see if Angie can shake off this performance and make the cut for the Top 7 next week.
