After "American Idol's'" Top 13 show started on the east coast, contestant Paul McDonald tweeted, "I hope you enjoy the tune I chose for the show tonight...it might not be top 40 tv hits, but I enjoy artists that are a bit under the radar!"
So what tune did Paul choose? Ryan Adam's "Come Pick Me Up," which is not exactly a mainstream Top 40 hit. A risk? Definitely. Did it pay off? That's yet to be determined.
After Paul's performance, which included a whole lot of his "Paul McDonald two-step," the judges stressed the fact that they love his quirkiness before worrying about his song choice. "I love who Paul is. I love Ryan Adams. I hope America gets it," Randy Jackson said. Steven Tyler added he "loves the character and rasp in your voice," but did say Paul's performance was a bit pitchy.
