Tim Urban performed Better Days on American Idol during the April 20 performance show. The Better Days rendition by Tim Urban didn't seem to sit well with the judges, even though it was
a song that Alicia Keys thought would be good for him. It seemed like he had a tough time getting through the middle part of the song, and that is what kept the judges from giving him very high praise on the show.
Judges Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell said that they didn't like the performance very much. It seemed that that also didn't find his performance to be very on-key for the night, and that the steps he had made last week didn't carry over to this week's show. Better Days was originally recorded by GooGoo Dolls, and Tim Urban will be judged on his performance during the April 21 American Idol Results Show.
