The American Idol girls have had their turn to impress and now tonight, the final 10 remaining boys will perform in the hopes that they can win your vote.

Last week, Bobby and Patrick departed from the show serving a stern warning to the remaining contestants that if they don't perform well, American will not keep them in the show.

Stay tuned for the American Idol action as it happens:

First up tonight is:

Taylor Hicks
Song choice: Easy
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5701
TXT Vote to 5701
My Thoughts: Taylor is so great for American Idol because he just doesn't fit the generic Idol mould. He's a fantastic performer.
Randy: It wasn't my favourite performance but I love you.
Paula: I love what you're wearing tonight. I love your enthusiasm. It wasn't my favourite song choice but you're one of my favourites.
Simon: You need to take yourself out of the bubble of American Idol because that wasn't a great song choice for me and if you watched that back you'd think it was average.

Elliott Yamin
Song choice: Moody's Mood for Love
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5702
TXT Vote to 5702
My Thoughts: Elliott has definitely got the chops for American Idol and this is a great song choice for him. He is totally unexpected for me because he looks like he's just stepped out of an Amish village. Definitely growing on me.
Randy: Every time we have seen you I have enjoyed you. You have an amazing gift and for the first time this season I have to stand up.
Paula: That is one of the most difficult songs to sing but you did Stevie Wonder proud. I don't know what you can do to top that but I can't wait.
Simon: I think you've grown in confidence. I think I've seen a different you and you're starting to believe in yourself. It was a great performance.

Ace Young
Song choice: If You're Not The One
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5703
TXT Vote to 5703
My Thoughts: This is a reasonably good song choice for Ace's style but I don't think he's got the chops that Daniel Bedingfield does. He looks strained as he goes for the high note and I think the song is just a bit too big for him.
Randy: I'm glad that you chose that because it showed your range. I think you sing better than you let on. Keep picking harder songs.
Paula: I really think this is another good week for you. It was surprising in a great way to hear you hit the high notes.
Simon: I think you struggled with that vocal tonight and I don't think you were able to sing that song very well.

Gedeon McKinney
Song choice: A Change Is Going To Come
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5704
TXT Vote to 5704
My Thoughts: I'm a little bored by Gedeon's performance tonight. He can sing but it seems a little contrived.
Randy: You know what I love about you, you're real natural. You ended it amazing after some pitch problems at the start. I think you did a good job.
Paula: You are a performer that we'll see for decades.
Simon: You are a funny little thing. I just didn't know what to make of you with your smile and faces you make while you sing. You do that old style of music very well. You sounded authentic.

Kevin Covais
Song choice: I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5705
TXT Vote to 5705
My Thoughts: It's nice to see Kevin having a bit of fun on stage. I don't think this is his best performance as it's not entirely his style but it is still pretty good.
Randy: I really thoroughly enjoyed you. Good job. Good job.
Paula: You are infectious. I think you're the next sex symbol. I love watching your parents too.
Simon: This really is la la land isn't it. I do like you but the reality is that if I heard that on the radio I would turn that off.

Jose "Sway" Penala
Song choice: Overjoyed
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5706
TXT Vote to 5706
My Thoughts: I'm finding this boring. Not the best vocal performance tonight either.
Randy: That wasn't as good as last week for me. To do something from Stevie you have to make it unbelievable and you didn't.
Paula: I feel like you're a little disconnected tonight and you weren't in that zone.
Simon: This is exactly how not to do well on a show like this. That was nothing more than pure karaoke.

Will Makar
Song choice: Lady
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5707
TXT Vote to 5707
My Thoughts: Will has a beautiful voice and will no doubt be swooning many girls during his performance but I think that it will be forgotten by the end of the show.
Randy: I think at this point in the show you need to do something that blows us away and I wasn't.
Paula: I think it was too safe and a little bland.
Simon: It was like an audition for Cats. Eleven year old girls will love that.

Bucky Covington
Song choice: Thunder Rolls
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5708
TXT Vote to 5708
My Thoughts: Bucky reminds me of Bo Bice this week and quite frankly I think this is average. The vocals aren't that hot but the song suits his style. If he survives this week he'll be hard pressed to stick around the final 12.
Randy: This was a great song choice for you. A couple of pitch problems but you did your thing.
Paula: You hit every note at the beginning and I think you're finding your place in this competition.
Simon: I like you because I think you're a very sincere guy - you are what you are. You come over for me though as the support act for the stars of this show.

David Radford
Song choice: Something About the Way You Look Tonight
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5709
TXT Vote to 5709
My Thoughts: What is it with all these guys trying to stare down the camera like Ace this week? I'm kinda over the whole crooning thing on American Idol. It's time to move on.
Randy: The good thing for you is that you stayed in your zone but I found myself getting bored. The band sounded great though.
Paula: This is your zone but I feel that we've seen you perform better with other songs.
Simon: You absolutely have the right tone for this style but you need charisma and confidence. It was uncomfortable.

Chris Daughtry
Song choice: Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
Ph Vote: 1 866 436 5710
TXT Vote to 5710
My Thoughts: Chris is just fantastic tonight. I've been a big fan of his from his first audition. IMO he's so much better than Bo and Constantine were last year.
Randy: I loved it, loved it, loved it. That was the right song choice for you and you could be on the charts right now with that.
Paula: Do you know how good you are? You are amazing. There are magic moments on that stage and you just hit one of many to come.
Simon: There have been many compliments tonight, however, this was the only performance which stands up in the real world. It was the only credible performance that everyone else should be looking up to.
