American Idol 2012: Top 7 Week Recap (VIDEO)

The American Idol 2012 top 7 performed ‘songs from this decade’ on Wednesday night. While overall one of my favorite nights so far on this season of Idol (mostly due to the song choices), there were some contestants who failed to impress the judges with their performances this week.
