Vevo has FULL PERFORMANCES from the American Idol House of Blues Showcase round! Click to check out FULL performances from Wednesday’s episode. The remaining twelve singers who advanced to the American Idol 14 Top 24 are below.
Qaasim Middleton – Satisfaction
Originality? Stage presence? An ever-expanding wardrobe of such finery it could very well win Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards? Qaasim’s got ‘em all, and puts them to great use in this cover of Allen Stone’s “Satisfaction”.

Savion Wright – I Don’t Trust Myself
Savion’s the guy that just missed a spot in the Top 24 last year, and as Harry points out he’s now “hungry” in a way that sets him apart from other contestants. Watch him take on John Mayer’s “I Don’t Trust Myself” in his House of Blues performance.

Alexis Gomez – Better Dig Two
The journey from performing in your bedroom to performing on the Idol stage is a long one filled with tons of moments for artistic growth. Take advantage of them, and you’ve got the chance to really shine — something Alexis seems keen to do in her half-Spanish take on The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two”.

Mark Andrew – Take Me to Church
This is, as the guy himself points out, the last opportunity Mark has to become the next American Idol. He’s giving himself his best shot possible with this soul-stirring performance of Hozier’s “Take Me to Church”.

Riley Bria – Love This Pain
If you want to see poise and talent commingling, look no further than Riley Bria, a musician who’s been wowing us ever since his first audition. Here he applies his particular set of skills to Lady Antebellum’s “Love This Pain”.

Trevor Douglas – Burning Love
Dude’s always gone deep into his back pocket for song choices you might not normally expect. That trend continues on the House of Blues stage as Trevor gives us a joyful, energetic performance of Elvis Presley’s “Burning Love”.

Sarina-Joi Crowe – Big White Room
We haven’t seen too much of Sarina this season, but she’s clearly impressed the judges to make it to this point. And “this point” is actually four years in the making. Watch her take on Jessie J’s “Big White Room”.

Nick Fradiani – Drops of Jupiter
Nick is an elder statesman in this year’s crop of Idol hopefuls, with tons of performing experience. That’s evident in his emotional performance of “Drops of Jupiter” by Train.

Joey Cook – Sweat Pea
Joey looks totally at ease on the House of Blues stage strumming her signature ukulele through “Sweet Pea”, by Amos Lee.

Shi Scott – Higher Ground
Shi’s got one of those voices that always surprises you — not just for the unexpected person it’s coming from, but for how it’s utilized in songs across the musical spectrum. At House of Blues, it’s put to excellent use on Stevie Wonder (and later Red Hot Chili Pepper’s) “Higher Ground”.
