One standout performer Tuesday was 60-year-old Bell, who delivered a soulful rendition of Pink’s Nobody Knows, impressing the judges' panel of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger (who's his mentor on the show).

An impressed Cowell told Bell he wished he was mentoring him, a slight to the Pussycat Doll, who responded, “I don’t know if you would have put the two weeks into him like I did, Simon. I was so proud of him. He’s grown so much.”
