Eccentric Joey Cook put her own spin on Keith Urban’s country song when she played her accordion and sang the tune “Somebody Like You”.

She wowed all three judges with her unique presentation of the song and made it totally her own. ‘Joey it was fantastic!’ Keith told her, clearly genuinely impressed. ‘That’s what artists do, you take a song, make it yours. It was perfect.’ Both Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. agreed!

Joey was one of 12 female performers as all the women sang for viewers’ votes for the first time, the night after the 12 remaining men did the same. The final 24 will be whittled down to 16 by next week. The women appeared to have a harder time impressing the judges, with several clearly not doing well but Joey impressed them all.
