Spies Inside "Idol" Rehearsal Spill It

So today's "American Idol" rehearsal has just ended and here's what we got from our spies.
Idol Girls -- click to launch
David Cook and Michael Johns were talking while the girls were on the stage, discussing who was hot. At one point David said, "I would do her," pointing to someone -- sorry, we don't know who.

The worst performance was courtesy of Brooke White, though she looked the best. She sang a slowed-down, country version of "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar and it sucked. The best performance was Asia'h Epperson, who sang "I Want to Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

All the contestants were there and they have some kind of code, constantly referring to "shenanigans," which normally is a buzzword for hijinks, but they were clearly referring to something specific.

Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay are definitely best friends. He was on the side making a half-a-heart sign with his hands and she would complete the heart. The two talked about going to the mall for food after rehearsal.

David Cook was making fun of David Archuleta, like a big bro ragging on lil' bro. Cook was beaucoup arrogant during the rehearsal.

Seacrest sang "You Give Love a Bad Name" and was just as bad as yesterday, but lil' blondie freely admitted he was bad.

We're told they had 20 million votes for the guys last night -- a high for the season.

63. I thought Brooke was the best performance of the night for the girls. It was a gutsy call and worked beautifully. Kind of like David Cook the night before, they both took a song, put their unique twist to it and made it their own. That's how you do it! I think TMZ missed it concerning Brooke.

64. Who writes this crap? I wish I could have heard what you heard when listening to Brooke White -- "Slowed down country version"???? Country??? What, because someone sings acoustically you think it's country? Here's an idea Harvey,...how about you have someone who actually KNOWS something about MUSIC write about this stuff and leave the typical "I saw so-and-so drinking a latte today" up to everyone else over there at TMZZZZZZZ.......

65. The comments were almost exactly the reverse of what the actual performances were. From the writing it and the favoritism the spy would appear to be Sanjaya's crying girl from season 6.

Brooke Whites performance was incredible adult contemporary take not country. Asia'h went home because her stupid head shaking finger wagging moment showed that she was a Karaoke act. When compared with her rival Sayesha who also failed to perform but did so in such a professional and confident manner. She should be able to knock out the overhyped Carley.

David Cook next to Kacheesey is by far the weakest male performer. The girls are as a group weaker but also more closely bunched together. When Amanda is gone it will be a toss up which one goes.

66. #6 Um.... last I knew, one's sexual orientation had nothing to do with vocal talent or ability. To say that (and I quote) "Gays can't sing. Period." is utterly ridiculous and immature.
And just plain stupid.

68. 23. I think Amanda was fantastic tonight! She is the only one that puts some life into IDOL. The rest are Britney "wanna-be's". As far as Carly goes, she shouldn't even be on this show. She has already had a record deal, this is suppose to be for amatuers! What gives??

Well then kick Archie off then, he's been in singing competitions half his life!

Michael and Carly for final 2!!!!!!!!!

70. David Cook rocks!
Whoever said he isn't hot and creepy needs their head examined. He's so awesome!

71. David Cook should win American Idol this season. He is the best one out of all of them.

72. What is the deal with Brooke White? Her vocals are so-so.......good enough for an open mic night I suppose. The whole "fake crying" thing and biting her lip thing is getting old!! She is depending on her Mormon "good girl" image to get her through. I think as the show progresses, America will eventually figure out that this is a singing contest and she certainly is NOT the best.
As the contestants are asked to sing different genres, the most talented ones will shine.......I pick both Davids (the ugly one and the Mormon one) as well as the Cook chick (getting beat up by SImon only will make her stronger). Let's face it, the 11 left are ALL pretty good................now it is just a waiting game to see who screws up on stage.

73. To: Archie is the real Jughead- you are an idiot! David Archuleta didnt say that! David Cook did! If you would actually read what it said you woud know that! David Archuleta would never in a million years say that!

74. very interesting nice one

75. I wish they had a "GET OFF" VOTE so I could vote Brooke OFF. She is horrible! David Cook is talented and Jason dreadlook guy is very interestiong to watch...never knowing what he'll do with a song. He is definitely so much more talented than Brooke. David A isn't that good either. Who is voting to keep Brooke on???Why ? Isn't anyone else sick of her facial expressions/that fake cry, the concerned frown!? She is soooo anoyyingggg!!!!!!
