I thought "You're All I Need" was by Ashford and Simpson... cos Ryan was like, "This is from our guest judge's catelogue" and they were like, "It's our song, you did a good job."

And "I'll Never Love This Way Again" ... Dionne Warwick? I thought?

I dunno. But yay!!!

[G-Force Glockstar]

Thank you so much!!

Ryan Seacrest saying it before they performed

And for the ones I knew before AI even existed, I just knew it LOL

[Brian]

Correction on one of the ones Amy Adams sung. Huey Lewis did a song called "The Power of Love" but it was not the one that Amy sung. I know it because I've heard her version by another artist, a woman. I don't know who it was, though.

[Cactus Jack]

I just looked, its Celine Dion who sang it

[Cactus Jack]

There's also an Everlasting Love by Carl Carlton

[Cactus Jack]

A HA!!!! Just looked at my top 40 book, the Andy Gibb one is called An Everlasting Love, not just Everlasting Love


so EL is by Carl
