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.

61. Noreiga is so full of himself he's embarrassing to watch. He also has a mediocre singing voice. He's all poses and snotty, attitudinal remarks. He should go home next.

62. i believe randy and paula shouldn't nag on booing of simon. he's a judge also. and when danny a. disrespect simon last night randy and paula clap their hands join danny in his disrespect of their fellow judge, I think its funny when simon tells someone he likes their performance, it means more than than the other judges approval. you can tell by there reaction. how can you like some one like danny a. who believes rape is a joke?he's sick!!!!

63. Noriega is the most annoying AI contestant EVER! He needs to get over himself. For the people bitching about TMZ.....if you don't like it, why are you here posting????? Who needs the rags like People, who is more about the ads than content? TMZ is FREE, has the best gossip and is funny as hell!

64. Danny Noriega looks EXACTLY like the wacko that killed Gianni Versace. He's just as creepy, too and just marginally talented......a Freddy Mercury wannabe. Hope he's gone on Thursday.

66. ANYONE that could still vote for Danny Noriega after viewing his video on MySpace has to not care what kind of character he has. That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. The little gay guy should pack his bags and go home!!!!!!!
