Tonight our four remaining American Idol contestants are singing the songs of an original American Idol and the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. It should be a great show as these four remaining Idols have some decent fan support so I suspect that they'll all be pulling out the stops to win over our votes.

Legendary music Mogul Tommy Mottola will be critiquing the Idols tonight. (Thankfully no one will be singing Maraih tonight.) It'll be interesting to see what the guy who headed up Sony Music Entertainment for 15 years has to say about their performances. What a privledge for the contestants to be working with him this week.

Stay tuned for details as they come to hand.

Taylor Hicks
Song choice: Jailhouse Rock
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5701 or 1 866 436 5705
TXT Vote to 5701
My Thoughts: This is exactly the kind of music I'd expect to see Taylor perform. I do however tend to agree with Simon. It was Karaoke with capital K. Highly entertaining karaoke though.

Chris Daughtry
Song choice: Suspicious Minds
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5702 or 1 866 436 5706
TXT Vote to 5702
My Thoughts: I've never really liked this song but I must say that Chris' take on it is better than most I've heard. It's going to be a tough night tonight and I hope Chris' second song is going to be much better than that was.

Elliott Yamin
Song choice: If I Can Dream
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5703 or 1 866 436 5707
TXT Vote to 5703
My Thoughts: I really don't like the vibrato in Elliott's voice in this song but boy can he sing. Man. What a fantastic vocal! Gee. This could be a tough call tomorrow night after that performance.

Katharine McPhee
Song choice: Hound Dog / All Shook Up
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5704 or 1 866 436 5708
TXT Vote to 5704
My Thoughts: I'm hating the backing vocals in this performance and overall it's a bit of a non event compared to some of the other performances Katharine has done. Please turn it up for round two.

Taylor Hicks
Song choice: In The Ghetto
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5701 or 1 866 436 5705

My Thoughts: This is a fantastic song for Taylor. Much better with his own stamp on it.

Chris Daughtry
Song choice: A Little Less Conversation
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5703 or 1 866 436 5707
TXT Vote to 5703
My Thoughts: This was a better song than Chris' first one but I'm not sure. It sounded old and not very polished to me.

Simon:

Elliott Yamin
Song choice: Trouble
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5702 or 1 866 436 5706
TXT Vote to 5702
My Thoughts: I think this could be the first time in this entire competition that we've actually seen some personality coming from Elliott. He's certainly played the card at the right time but is it going to be too little too late?

Katharine McPhee
Song choice: Can't Help Falling In Love
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5704 or 1 866 436 5708
TXT Vote to 5704
My Thoughts: This is a good song choice but the start of the song is a little weak but it builds into something wonderful. There were a couple of notes in there that were fantastic. A much better performance second time round.
