On Wednesday's performance show, the Top 11 performed the songs of Sir Elton John, and Adedapo, 26, from Milwaukee, sang "I'm Still Standing," and Megia, 16, from Hayward, Calif., sang "Daniel." The episode also featured performances by season three "American Idol" winner Fantasia and a musical collaboration by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas and Academy Award and Grammy winner Jamie Foxx.
