It was the ultimate ladies night on American Idol with the Top 5 girls performing and judges Nicki and Mariah finally interacting on the show! What's up guys thank for tuning in to ClevverMusic on YouTube for your Season 12 Idol Recap. For the first time ever the Top 5 is filled with girls only and we're getting excited for our first female Idol in six years since Jordin Sparks. On the top 5 performances show each remaining gal had to choose two songs each, first song from their birth year and then a song of a 'diva'.

Candice Glover was one of the best of the night, first singing a soulful version of Paula Abdul's 'Straight Up', a song from her birth year. We think it was an awesome choice of song and actually sounded better than the original in our opinion. But it was Candice's second song that has everyone talking, she bravely sang 'When You Believe', the infamous Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston duet! Take a look at how she did.

Needless to say Mariah had tears in her eyes after that performance, and Candice received a standing ovation from all four judges. Nicki Minaj commented, 'That is how you do a Mariah Carey Whitney Houston song!' What... is Nicki going to say something nice about Mariah? Yes! Nicki also said that no modern collaboration has topped that Mariah Whitney duet yet. Yup, Candice is now a diva.

She joins the two divas already on the Idol stage, Nicki .
