As Dan Marshall continues to beeze through the 'American Idol' competition, fans continues to feel puzzled about his stint on the show. From wondering how he was still in the competition to dubbing him as nothing more than a karaoke singer, fans have had several strong feeling about him.

Despite the harsh feedback from fans, Dan continued to be a hit amongst the audience, as they kept voting for him. So, when Dan took to the stage for his Top 14 performance and crooned to Kenny Chesney's 'She's Got it All', it felt like a deja vu. The judges- Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie couldn't get enough of him. Lionel dubbed his performance as one of the best performances in the competition. After watching the judges sing his praises, fans took to Twitter to call out the judges for their overtly positive feedback of Dan's performance.
