“Idol” Recap: Karen Rodriguez Bounces Back

After her pitchy rendition of Selena Quintanilla’s “I Could Fall in Love With You” landed her in the bottom three last week, Karen Rodriguez bounced back with a solid performance of Taylor Dayne’s “Love Will Lead You Back.” It wasn’t her best performance, but at least Karen reminded the judges (and more importantly, Idol viewers) that she has a big, beautiful voice, and that she’s hungry to become the first Latina to win American Idol. Jennifer Lopez said it best when she told Karen, “You attacked the song.”
