Celebrity Justice
TMZ to A.I. - We Can Name That Tune!

So our spies know what the guys are singing tonight on "American Idol." The rehearsal just ended, and you won't believe who laid down the best performance. Click to gallery to see who sang what.
American idol 80's -- click to launch
As for what happened behind the scenes, it's obvious producers are following the "A.I." scandals because they had David Hernandez and Danny Noriega stand next to each other and teased them together going into commercial.

We're told Chikezie was having some pitch and arrangement troubles and Exec Producer Nigel Lythgoe was coaching him afterwards. Jason Castro was a nervous motha. Luke Menard sucked worst.

The girls, especially Pepe-Le-Pew-like Amanda Overmeyer were ragging on Danny Noriega for the Christmas video that surfaced on MySpace featuring Danny boy talking about raping mothers. Class.

During a break in the rehearsal, Ryan Seacrest sang "Hold On Loosely" by 38 Special. He was awful -- but he knew it.

The packaged pieces are the "A.I." contestants embarrassing moments.

By the way, in rehearsal, Danny Noriega was top dog -- by far.

31. SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING (A WOMAN ) YOU HAVE LIVING IN YOUR IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY, ( DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL NEIBORHOOD ), IS FUTILE, WHEN ONE IS LOOKING, IT WILL NOT APPEAR, AND WHEN YOU QUIT, IT WILL BE THERE, AND WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY WITH A WOMAN, MANY OTHERS CONE AROUND. I DON'T KNOW THE REASON, JUST THE RESULTS.

33. Personally, David Cook and David Archuleta were by far the best vocals tonight.
David Cook--wow I am a huge fan, but that is not why he was awesome tonight. That arrangement he did of the Lionel Richie "Hello" was just simply brilliant, nothing like the original, and was very good for only a week to work on it.
David Archuleta--He's just by far one of the best vocalists on the show. I don't think that any other guys are THAT talented, but they are okay. Except Danny...Just no, and he wasn't very good tonight at all.
As for the girls, I really like the girl who did the Heart song last week and even though she may have had a record deal, she's not what you would consider "professional."

36. I'm a huge Idol fan but am getting disgusted with Paula Abdul's bizarre behavior. She does have to live in the public eye which is unfair, but it is completely disrepectful to the fans, audience and idol contestants when she acts as she did this evening. She speaks forever but never truly says anything and then stands up, sways as if she is drunk, Simon has to grab her arm to reel her in and slurs something else! Does she really think the public doesn't see some sort of problem with her behavior and why aren't the producers of this show taking care of this? It isn't like this is the first time she has had these problems while on air. Eventually it has to be discovered to be something other than a cold and lack of sleep. If it is, take some medicine and go to bed.
