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.

54. It's not right that the guy who worked at the strip club gets to continue. And that Danny Noriego---yuck, what a creep. This year's American Idol contestants are really the "bottom of the barrel." And that chick with the Lily Munster look-- double yuck.. I think Simon, Paula and Randy are losing their touch at picking potential winners. How about having Max (from TMZ), Larry Birkhead and Perez Hilton become the new "Power 3".?? Or adding Kato Kalin, too?? Hottttt....

55. Danny Noriega is arrogant. Too bad, it totally ruins his stage presence.

And -- hey "Rufus" -- " the flamin Mo's" ? Why don't you find a white-supremacist compound somewhere in Butt-f**k Idaho and crawl to it.

In America, 14-year-old gay kids are still being beaten up and murdered. We don't need YOUR KIND here.

56. Danny has got to go away! I agree that he's totally arrogant, and he's too queenie.

Last night Paula was talking herself into a corner. It reminded me of Ellen D.

If you're so great, why the hell aren't you on there? It's easier to sit and throw stones, isn't it? I just love arrogant, egotistical, judgemental people like you....NOT!
