Is it becoming a trend? First Jordin Sparks posted a cover of Demi Lovato’s powerful song, “Skyscraper”, now Season 9 alums, Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens are taking a crack at the tune.

At this point Demi’s intense rendition is the standard bearer, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate Jordin’s quietly powerful version, or the way Katie’s sweet soprano plays counterpoint to Andrew’s gruff tenor. It’s all good!

Check out Katie and Andrews cover of “Skyscraper” below.

    I like this a lot. AI did not serve Andrew and Katie well. Both are very talented, but you couldn’t appreciate it from the show. I liked Andrew a lot from his youtube stuff in spite of the show’s ineptness. But who knew Katie had this range?

    This was quite nice.

    This video shows why these two were pimped in the beginning of the competition. The raw talent is there. Katie’s voice is pure and beautiful.

    Wow Katie really impressed me. She has grown alot since Ai. Yeah and her range blew me away as well.

    Me like.
    I think that the problem with Andrew’s AI run was that his style and artistry are not suited for AI. His best moments were those he was able to rehearse and master before performing (Audition and Straight Up; and the same can be said about his YouTube stuff). Once he had to come up with something every week with little time to tweak it he was lost. That’s why, I think the Kris/Adam run of S8 is so impressive to me. They were able to put together great performances of great songs in very little time.
    Katie just wasn’t ready during AI (although, her rendition of Let It Be remains one of my favorite Idol moments), but she has lots of talent and is very pretty.

    I like Andrew’s voice here. For some reason, Katie’s voice is still irritating to me. I might listen to more of Andrew’s music. Not sure what he’s been doing. Katie, nope.

    I really liked the way they did sang this together. I think they are both talented and I hope to hear more from them :)

    I love Jordin’s version, but they did a good job. Katie has great range and a very good voice similar to Christina Aguilera. She was a favorite of mine last season. She could have been more marketable than Lee and Crystal if she had won. It was a disappointing season in general.
