Lazaro Arbos delivers 'Feeling Good,' impresses Mariah Carey on 'American Idol'

Lazaro Arbos gave an impressive performance during "American Idol" Wednesday.

Performing a rendition of "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble, Arbos connected well with the audience and the panel of judges, including Keith Urban and Mariah Carey.

"That was really good tonight. I love the way you connect with everybody. When you start singing everybody in this theater starts to connect with you. Great job," said Keith Urban.

Nicki Minaj agreed with Urban.

"I loved it. I love you. Obviously the people went crazy for you. I think that was a very strong vocal," said Minaj.

Keeping it short and simple, Randy Jackson said "dude that was great."

Closing out the panel, Mariah Carey was very impressed with Lazaro Arbos' growth as a performer.

"It impresses me how you throw yourself into whatever song it is. I can relate to that on many levels," said Mariah Carey.

Did you enjoy Lazaro's performance and do you think he will move forward to the next round of the competition?

"American Idol" returns Thursday night at 8 p.m. on FOX.
