American Idol Season 11 Top 13: Whitney Houston/Stevie Wonder

They are tackling two iconic singers tonight. A catalog that has so many amazing songs. They are going in order of lowest to highest: Shannon Magrane - I Have Nothing: Girl, you should have nothing?

Don't know if it is suited for American Idol. I mean I would love to see him on the opera stage but the AI stage is not a place for his voice. He may very well surprise me and let loose a little. I am actually hopin...
