Spies Inside "Idol" Rehearsal Spill It

So today's "American Idol" rehearsal has just ended and here's what we got from our spies.
Idol Girls -- click to launch
David Cook and Michael Johns were talking while the girls were on the stage, discussing who was hot. At one point David said, "I would do her," pointing to someone -- sorry, we don't know who.

The worst performance was courtesy of Brooke White, though she looked the best. She sang a slowed-down, country version of "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar and it sucked. The best performance was Asia'h Epperson, who sang "I Want to Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

All the contestants were there and they have some kind of code, constantly referring to "shenanigans," which normally is a buzzword for hijinks, but they were clearly referring to something specific.

Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay are definitely best friends. He was on the side making a half-a-heart sign with his hands and she would complete the heart. The two talked about going to the mall for food after rehearsal.

David Cook was making fun of David Archuleta, like a big bro ragging on lil' bro. Cook was beaucoup arrogant during the rehearsal.

Seacrest sang "You Give Love a Bad Name" and was just as bad as yesterday, but lil' blondie freely admitted he was bad.

We're told they had 20 million votes for the guys last night -- a high for the season.

46. David Cook and Skunk head Amanda need to go home, why don't they go home together and have some baby skunks..They are so arrogant!!! Do they even have any friends in the other contestants? DOUBT IT!

47. Brooke was awesome last night, beautiful performance. Skunk head is okay but if she doesn't start acting like she wants to be THERE, people are going to lost interest in HER. She needs to learn how to smile and stop acting so damn nonchalant about it all!!!

48. #31- I agree with you on David Archuletta- he does always sound like he's out of breath and he's constantly licking his lips, which is really starting to annoy me to the point where I count how many times he does it in his performance! And his whole "aw shucks" personality is getting old too.

50. Obviously, Brooke White deserves to go on - her rendition last night was (to quote Paula) PHE NOMINAL - you are insane if you think otherwise - maybe in rehearsal it wasn't so good - but she blew it away on the stage last night. Ms. Kady Malloy needs to go - she just doesn't cut it on the stage - cute girl, just not enough

Amanda in the bottom 2 - ARE YOU INSANE - even she doesn't think she deserves to be there - did you see her reactions last night - she totally thinks she's going home tonight - AND SHE SHOULD - her voice is a one-trick pony and she'd never be able to pull off anything other than screaming.

54. To M at #23: Is this the first time you've ever watched this show??? The rules clearly state that you cannot CURRENTLY have any record deals or contracts with any music industry professional at the time you audtion for AI - DUH...this is not the first time that a "non" amateur has been in the contest. AI is simply a starting point for a lot of these singers - it gives them a great door opener to make it on their own - which is better than winning.

AMANDA SUCKS - how do you think she'd do with "Disco" or "Country" week - it would be so horrible to watch - she just doesn't have the crossover appeal that AI looks for - she's on the wrong competition - she should have done that Rock Star show instead. If she was my nurse, I'd run out of the hopsital screaming (like she sings). Amanda and Kady need to go home tonight - if not, I may lose all interest and fully understand that America (at least those of us who vote) got it wrong, wrong, wrong

55. # 46 you are right danny is a very charming young man i wish he could hook him with up with my youngest daughter

56. I think the best improvement to the show would be to get rid of Paula. She goes on and on and on and doesn't really say anything. Also - what is she on?

57. Is only me but doesn't Danny Noriega look like Jessica Alba??!!

58. i have to disagree with the tmz spies somewhat intensely - i thought brooke was wonderful and asia'h was a total waste of time.

59. I'm not going to be coming into this site anymore if you jerks are going to keep trying to ruin the show for those of us who are fans. For your information, Brooke's version of that song turned out to be one of the best performances of the night, right next to Carly and Amanda's (I think we can all forgive Amanda for last week's fiasco now). I hope your freaking spies are caught and thrown out!

60. Okay before I stop coming here I have to defend Amanda. There is room in the music industry for her today, she is a total rocker and so much better than these breathy ridiculous hiphop singers and rocker wannabes. Rhianna is packaged before she is beautiful, Avril is only still known because she is very pretty, neither has a lot of talent and we all know rap is not and never has been music. Amanada may only belong in one genre but she is enjoyable for the same reason Janis Joplin's music is enjoyable, only Amanda is not a fat greasy junkie who will drop dread from heroine use. Just forget about last week;s performance, she's allowed one bad week (I'm still trying to get that song out of my head and I can't think about that hair without a shiver up my spine) but she could totally put out albums and I would buy them. I'm not so sure about her attitude but that remains to be seen. Quit picking on her, she's a great rocker. I love Carly and Brooke too.
