Rosen Rocks Group Week to Make it Through Hollywood, Round Two
Rosen is a stand out in group performance.
In a group performance to determine who would make it through to Hollywood round two, 16 year old Merokean Robbie Rosen and Calhoun student nailed his portion of "I want you back," by the Jackson 5.
Rosen joined group Four plus One, which included fellow idol hopeful Jordan Dorsey. The group took turns singing solo as well as harmonizing, while dancing to choreography that they had to make up on their own.
For the second week in a row, the judges were visibly impressed by Rosen, with a smile by Jennifer Lopez and head bobbing by Steven Tyler during his solo performance.
