Tonight our Idol hopefuls sing from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Ryan said 3 of the contestants have already been #1 in the votes.. Do we know who the one that wasn't # 1 was? Yeah, I think we do.

Each contestant will sing two songs and the judges will critique after each song... whew.. This format works for me.

David Cook is up first singing.. Hungry Like a Wolf. An easy night for David. This is his comfort zone. He's good! Randy said it was an ok choice. Just OK for you, he said. Paula said his Hungry Like a Wolf has left her with a big appetite. Simon said it was good. A little bit copy cat. Is it good enough to get you through to next week? Probably, yes. More from David later.

Syesha Mercado - Proud Mary - Off to a good start.. waiting for her to step it up. There she goes.. she's looking like a seasoned performer. Randy said what a difference a couple of weeks makes. In the zone. Showing the heat...very nice. Paula said you look like a star. Magic happens. Simon said he's sorry to put a slight damper on it. A bad, shrieky impersonation of Tina Turner.

Jason Castro - I Shot the Sheriff - Jason goes reggae/rock with it. I find myself daydreaming and wondering what Brooke will try to sing.. lol I had a Paula moment.. yeah, I know she's gone. I didn't like it... Randy said it was a really karaoke Bob Marley.. nothing special. That just wasn't good for him. Paula said she never saw him perform more for the audience. She says he's so real and so genuine. Simon said that was utterly atrocious. Atrocious arrangement. A first round audition massacre.

David Archuleta - Stand By Me - He's a good singer, no doubt about it. I was just expecting something different. Nice ending, too. Randy said at least there's one guy that hits the stage every time he hits the stage, tries to win the whole thing. Hello, this is a competition. This was HOT. Paula said you are way beyond your years. You delivered. You're seasoned already. Simon said you could have whistled the song and it would have sounded better than the last time. In the grand scheme of things.. the best performance so far.

Here's their second songs..

David Cook - Bob O'Reilly - This is David's genre for sure. Cook has "the look". Randy said this is more like the David Cook that he's grow to love. You were great. Paula said she just wants more.. more David Cook. Simon said welcome back, David Cook.

Syesha Mercado - A Change is Gonna Come - This feels more like Broadway than Rock and Roll but she has a great voice. Didn't we all expect some serious rock and roll tonight? Randy said he did not love this one as much as the first one. Felt disconnected. Fell flat. Paula stood and applauded. She just wants to hug her. Beautiful vocals. Paula's crying and so is Syesha. Simon said he has to be fair. He has to agree.. with Paula. Wow, can you feel the stress that these kids have to go through. (I don't like her dress, I know, it's a singing competition) lol Simon's getting after Randy.. you made her cry. Glad it lightened up a bit.

Jason Castro - Mr Tambourine Man - (I love this one.. hope it does it well. OMG he forgot the words... bye bye Jason.. This isn't good. Bad ending to top it off. Randy said Jason's not in the zone tonight. Paula said.. it is what it is. You blow me away? Ok.. Simon said.. Jason, I'd pack your suitcase.

David Archuleta - Love Me Tender - The young girls seem to love it. He's putting the David stamp on it. Nice. You wanna bet he puts out a Christmas CD? I'd buy it. :) Randy said another great performance for you. Hot vocals of the night, right there. Paula said one of her favorite performances. Simon said, David, you didn't beat the competition tonight, you CRUSHED the competition tonight.

Ok.. Let's guess who leaves us tomorrow... His name starts with.. Jason.

They all seemed to play it safe. Who do you think should leave?

See you tomorrow night!

Baby You Can Drive My Car...
