Aaron Kelly sang "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" on American Idol season 9 Top 11 performance night.

Despite having laryngitis, Aaron Kelly was able to sing the Diane Warren-Aerosmith classic in what could be his best performance ever.

Randy Jackson said “It wasn’t a perfect performance. Some pitch issues but thank God you came on the stage and starting singing. I love the way you sang the first verse. I’m a fan.”

Ellen deGeneres said “That was a perfect song choice for you. You have such an amazing voice. I see your career already. That was amazing.”

Kara DioGuardi said “Ellen said it. Best song choice of the night. Week to week you know how to pick the song that shows consistency. More stage presence from you.”

Simon Cowell said “It was brave. I think you are making yourself old fashioned but there is zero chance you are going to go home.”
