Having finally unveiled the Top 12 finalists last week, "American Idol" had contestants sing Beatles songs penned by John Lennon and Paul McCartney last night. A number of contestants sang numbers from the Beatles' mid-career album "Revolver." Our favorite performances were: Chekize's "She's a Woman" (Chekize pictured above), Amanda Overmeyer's "You Can't Do That," Brooke White's "Let It Be," David Cook's "Eleanor Rigby," and Carly Smithson's "Come Together." Nothing stood out quite as much, however, as Amanda's incendiary rendition last week ('80 week) of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" (except perhaps for Kristy Lee Cook's interesting but with her vocals completely off of the beat of the band country version of "Eight Days a Week," which stood out for the wrong reasons).
