My second Idol WRAP is filled with guys this time. Read on as we wrap up last night's live performance of America's most hopeful emerging stars.

Idol #1 Ace Young, 25, Denver, CO

I know millions of star-struck female fans where beginning to drool as Idol's sexiest dude tries on Stevie's “Do I Do”, Randy said it was just "a'right" for him, Paula on the other hand definitely has the hots for the Young Ace and loves his spirit and his "cool dance moves." Simon called it "a bit manic" and didn't feel he had it tonight. We kind of agree with Simon on this one. Pick it up Ace, your fans are lusting for you to become our next American Idol.

Idol #2 Kellie Pickler, 19, Albemarle, NC

Idol's cutest blondie performed a sleepy rendition of Stevie's “Blame it on the Sun” and it "just didn't work" for Randy, although he loved her shoes. It was a little "too safe" for Paula, and Simon said he almost went to sleep and it was her worst performance so far. What can we say... you blew it this week Kelly, but we're sure you'll be back next week.

Idol #3 Elliot Yamin, 27, Richmond, VA

Sporting a white sports jacket, Elliot tried on Stevie's “Knocks Me Off My Feet”, and while it wasn't his best performance according to Randy, but it had "flavor". Paula praised his passion and thinks he's "an amazing singer." Simon called it his "best so far," but not incredible. We kinda agree with Randy on this one. Work it out Elliot!

Idol #4 Mandisa, 29, Antioch, TN

She came on to the stage in a with "barking dogs," and Ryan wasted no time in taking her shoes off of her aching feet. That's when she performed Stevie's "Don't Worry About A Thing" and Randy just didn't think is way great, but she was the "best so far", Paula thinks Mandisa can sing anything and loved it. Simon agreed that it was the best performance so far.

Idol #5 Bucky Covington, 28, Rockingham, NC

Our all-American country boy struts his stuff to Stevie's "Superstition" the crowd came to their feet. Randy "actual really enjoyed it" as did Paula, Simon praised his performance, but wants him to do something with his "Jessica Simpson" haircut. We like you just the way you are Bucky... Good Show!

Idol #6 Melissa McGhee, 21, Tampa, FL

I'm not sure why the judges went so easy on Melissa. The song was just not doing it for us. She forgot her lyrics, and Randy called her on it, but felt that she worked it out. Paula felt it was soothing and nice. Simon called it her "best performance so far. We just didn't feel it. Sorry Melissa "

Idol #7 Lisa Tucker, 16, Anaheim, CA

Singing “Signed Sealed Delivered”. Randy thought the end was hot, but not the middle. Paula just loved to see her taking some chances, and Simon told her it was one of the best performances of the night and that she had the "it" factor going for her.

Idol #8 Kevin Covais, 16, Levittown, NY

Singing Stevie's “Part Time Lover” Idol's youngest make-up wearing new sex symbol is Chicken Little in the flesh, and his fans just love him. He was "in time" according to Paula, and Randy liked it too. The best part was when Simon got slammed by the young rising star for calling it "appauling." He said, "it's okay, I wasn't expecting much from you anyway," and the crowd goes wild. Great show Kevin!

Idol #9 Katherine McPhee, 21, Los Angeles, CA

A hot performance from one of America's sexiest idols alive. Katherine did a great rendition of Stevie's “Until You Come Back to Me” and get's great remarks across the board from the judges and the audience went wild. Randy called her "the bomb", I say "bombshell", Paula's heart was pierced, Simon compared her to Kelly Clarkson and put it quite simply, saying "You're Good!" The dress has to go Katherine... you are way too hot for that granny dress Dude.

Idol #10 Taylor Hicks, 29, Birmingham, AL

What can I say, Idols own soul captian steals the show with “Living for the City” Randy raved, Paula absolutely digs hims, and Simon had to admit that he "can" sing even though he chose to compare him to a "drunken dad". You rock Taylor. See you at the finish line buddy!

Idol #11 Paris Bennett, 17, Fayetteville, GA

She's definitely got the stuff to keep on rising to the top. Belting out the Stevie classic “All I Do”, The cute young super-star may have delivered the best performance yet. Randy said the "was unbelievable", Paula thought she sang like a "seasoned veteran", and even Simon called her performance "brilliant." Keep it up Paris and you just may be able to finish just below Taylor at #2. Great show.

Idol #12 Chris Daughtry, 26, McLeansville, NC

According to Simon, Chris delivered the only "real-world" performance of the night and the best of the show. Paula said it was fantastic. Randy said he "worked it out"... and the audience completely agreed. Great show Chris, your definitely a contender

Well, there you have it. One tasty IdolWRAP for all to devour. We wonder just like you who will be going home tomorrow night. Any guesses?

Thank Stevie!

Good Night and God Bless!
