Blake turns "Idol" on its ear...

8:30 We’re back…Yet another plug for the band search…Ryan is with the judges…Blake and Doug E. Fresh with Barry B as their DJ do some rapping and beat-boxing. Okay, “Idol” has never seen anything like this…It’s a beat-boxing duet, and the Blaker Girls love it…Blake adds a lot of sound effects and the audience loves it…Blake’s dad loved it…Ryan says “Just like the days of Justin and Kelly.” It was wild…

8:34 Another Golden Idol…Most Original Vocal: The nominees are Nicholas Zitzmann (The strange-eyed guy who destroyed “Unchained Melody.”), Sandi Chavez (The chick who murdered “Black Velvet.”), Sholandric Stallworth (The guy who murdered “If Ever You’re In My Arms Again”)…The winner is Sholandric Stallworth…Ryan asks him to show off his “powerful voice.” Randy requests “Silent Night” and he does it without a microphone and the audience screams (I don’t know why.)…

8:37 The Top six girls come out to do “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”…Gina has a very short haircut…Of course Haley’s dress is shorter than the others, and shows a little more in the front…Melinda introduces Gladys Knight, who comes out singing “I Feel a Song In My Heart Again.” She still sounds amazing…The girls back her up…Gladys sings “Midnight Train to Georgia” with girls backing her up…Now Melinda sings with her…Now Lakisha joins them. That would be a good performing trio…Gladys finishes it out…That was good as well…And yes, ladies and gentlemen, David Hasselhoff is in the house. Will Jordin make him cry like Taylor did?...Break…
