We already saw that earlier this season with a lackluster "Landslide" by Lacey Brown. However, last night Didi Benami stepped forward and fearlessly tackled Fleetwood Mac's "Rihannon," a signature song for Stevie Nicks. It was a few moments of elegance and artistry that made Didi Benami at last stand out from the crowd. This was the night to do it, and it just may be the risk that helps get her into the final 12. Overall, it was a strong night of performances for the girls, but ...
