Amanda Overmyer
Baby Please Don't Go
Having locked up the title of 'contestant most likely to scare me to death' during the audition phase, the "rock and roll nurse" performs what must be the first Muddy Waters song in Idol history. Overmeyer spends a large portion of her performance speaking in tongues, or possibly scatting, before closing with her trademark Janis Joplin snarl. "Authentic" is the word the judges use, which means they really like her. I'm contemplating a restraining order.
