American Idol season seven contestant Ramiele Malubay performed the song "Alone" on the March 24, 2008 episode of the hit televised singing competition.

• Randy: "I hear you're a little under the weather like me. It's still wasn't right song choice for you, it's still a little bit to big of a song for you. A little pitchy and all over the place."

• Paula: "I'm really glad that America has heard you sing and how big your voice is. People don't know you barely have a voice right now. I still give you a tremendous amount of credit as you're really sick. I hope you stay through and keep going because you're a big talent in a little small package."'

• Simon: "I don't think it was as bad as Randy said. I think that the first part of the song was OK, maybe because you're not feeling well in the middle it all got a big shrieky and shouty. The truth is, after what you sang last week which I thought was appalling and managed to survive, then you're going to get through this week on that performance. No question about it."
