Idols sing for inspiration

Tonight's theme of inspirational songs on American Idol made for a wide variety of choices from the remaining eight contestants.

Carly Smithson sang Queen's "The Show Must Go On," but it didn't work for the judges as well as it had in past weeks. David Cooke ran into similar criticism after his rendition of Our Lady Peace's "Innocent."

Kristy Lee Cook made a great song choice and gave a chill-inducing performance of Martina McBride's "Anyway." She let a lot of her passion come through, and the judges agreed that it was one of her best.

David Archuleta sang "Angels" by Robbie Williams, accompanying himself on the piano. It wasn't his best, but he has a large enough fan base that he can't do too much wrong at this point.

Brooke White closed the evening with "You've Got a Friend."

Tomorrow FOX will be airing "Idol Gives Back," beginning at 7:30 p.m.
