'American Idol': Naima Adedapo's 'Umbrella' reggae remix caps the night
Twitter
GoogleNaima Adedapo took a big risk for the "American Idol" Top 13. She tackled Rihanna's "Umbrella," which is a tricky song by itself. But she also injected a reggae rap break in the middle and some fancy dance moves.
As a pure vocal, it wasn't that strong. As an overall performance, it was fun, current and entertaining, moreso than most everything else on the night. The judges agreed - warned her to watch her breath and her pitch, but really praised her vibe and groove.
What did you think of Naima? We were happy she got a Wild Card spot and hope to see her stick around.

Entertaining but the vocals were weak.
Awesome performance in a sea of 'sleepy' divas and ballad singers, she was a breath of fresh air. Viva Naima!
Never should have gotten rid of Robbie Rosen - He was the best!!
She was entertaining but the vocals were definitely weak--very pitchy.
Naima was the only current Idol tonight. I would actually buy this girl's music..she's the only contestant I can say that for
1-866-IDOLS13 wasn't an actual voting line so she is leaving regardless of her performance, didn't have a real chance.
she was Awesome! I totally dont even like Rihanna, but loved Naima's rendition of this song! loved the dancing, rapping and raggae. She is really Unique!
Simply beautiful!
Viva Naima!!!
i never heard that Diana Ross song before and with so many Diana Ross songs why was that one chosen. I hope Ashthon Jones will have another chance.
