Michael, the three Davids, Jason, Danny, Luke and Chikezie performed songs from the ’80s.

"American Idol" took a journey back to the REAGAN era of the ’80s on Tuesday night when the eight remaining male vocalists performed songs from that decade. Outstanding performances of the night included DAVID ARCHULETA, DAVID HERNANDEZ, MICHAEL JOHNS, DAVID COOK and JASON CASTRO.

It was also a night when the competitors revealed on their pre-performance films their most embarrassing moment in life.

LUKE MENARD kicked off the night’s performances with WHAM’s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." RANDY JACKSON told the 29-year-old from Crawfordsville, IN: "It started out rough. You couldn’t find the pitch, but you got it together in the end. It was a surprising song choice. A little bit corny." PAULA ABDUL, too, was surprised that Luke picked that song, but she was more complimentary, saying, "What I love about you is you have a great instrument. I love, love, love your interpretation." SIMON COWELL, however, didn’t like it. "I thought it was weak and a bit girly. I don’t think you will make it through to the Final 12," he predicted.
