"American Idol": Eight Guys' Most Embarrassing Moments

It's the last chance for the eight Idolette guys to try to secure a spot in the "American Idol" Season 7 finals.

Show host Ryan Seacrest walks down the curving staircase from the Balcony of Broken Dreams like a Ziegfeld girl, patting the occasional Guy Idolette lining the stairway.

It's '80s night and because we wore our most embarrassing outfits that decade, Seacrest says, the Idolettes will be required to reveal their Most. Embarrassing. Moment. Ever.

First, Luke Menard: When he was 8, he was forced to dress in a tutu and leotard by his older sister, who wished he was a girl. With that taped intro, he's pretty much got to sing a Wham! song, right? He does: "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." Imagine George Michael if he'd been part of an a cappella group, or barbershop quartet.

Judge Randy Jackson says Luke kind of got it together at the end, but the air he's sucking through his teeth says, "Bad, dude -- just trying to keep it real." Judge Paula Abdul mentions something about George Michael on tour and dolphin shorts, and concludes Luke has a "great instrument" and that she "loves loves loves" his "interpretation" of the song. Interpretation? Of a Wham! song? Simon calls it "weak and a bit girly" and predicts Luke won't make it to the top 12, which is telling us nothing we didn't already know.
