Idol Update: Wild-Policy To Be Reinstated?

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/34697/idol-update-wild-policy-to-be-reinstated

Fans of five to-be-determined ousted Idol contestants can rejoice! Because if rumors are true, the long-demanded “Wild Card” policy will soon be reinstated. Huzzah!

Yes, the last-gasp policy that once rescued Clay Aiken from premature obscurity may now save another gone-too-soon singer. See, according to rampant messageboard postings across this great Interweb of ours, five semi-finalists who failed to make the top 10 will return to the American Idol stage for the April 9th Idol Gives Back charity special....on which they will battle for a wild-card slot on this summer’s American Idol concert tour!

David Cook

Sings "Billie Jean", but don't worry--this isn't the Michael Jackson version. This is the more suitable Chris Cornell version.

Best performance of the night.

Randy: Most original, most bold contestant we've ever had. You could win this whole thing!

Paula: I can't sit down. I think you're brilliant

Simon: David that was great. That could either be insane or amazing, but I have to tell you that was amazing.

While David was great, before we start throwing roses at his feet we should know that this wasn't his arrangement of "Billie Jean".

The exact same version can be heard on Chris Cornell's recent album.
