American Idol 5/4: The hopefuls sang twice on tonight's episode and for Jacob and Hayley, it was a blessing! Both of which performed horribly during their first song and led the judges to question if they could get to the next level. The judges praised Lauren and Scotty by telling them they both are in it to win it; perhaps foreshadowing the finale? Sheryl Crow was the guest mentor this week and offered lots of wise words.
