Korean-American hopeful Heejun Han has made it through to the Top 9 on 'American Idol'.

The singer who was criticized last week for not taking the competition seriously enough definitely turned things around with his most recent performance of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You", which brought the judges and the crowd to their feet.

"You did it, man. You turned it around," judge Steven Tyler told him. "Just now, you let that song sing you."

Fellow judge Jennifer Lopez added, "You know, people don't realize you don't make it this far by mistake... when you connect and you really sing to us, you move people."

Randy Jackson admitted his performance wasn't perfect, but said, "Finally, that Heejun that we selected came back to us tonight."

Check out his latest performance below, and let us know if you think he has what it takes to be the next 'American Idol'!
