STACEY MAY HAVE REACHED THE END OF HIS ROAD, SIMON SAYS

hil Stacey took a trip down Tobacco Road, but Simon Cowell isn't sure how much further he can go. The theme was 1960s British Invasion on American Idol Tuesday, with help from Peter Noone and Lulu. Stacey, the Jacksonville-based sailor, broke into a hard-rocking version of Tobacco Road, but Cowell had words of warning: "You're being outsung by a lot of the singers. ... And you may have a problem tomorrow."

New strategy: Haley Scarnato has been near the bottom of most rankings, this time she went with skin and jiggling. "I think," Cowell said, "people will be talking about a lot more than your singing."

Pandering: Did the show really need to focus so much on the girl in the audience crying during Sanjay Malakar's butchering of You Really Got Me? Was it love or pain? Love, apparently.

Best of the night: Jordin Sparks' I (Who Have Nothing), Blake Lewis' Time of the Season and the flawless Melinda Doolittle on As Long as He Needs Me.

Worst: Malakar, who sounded like he had simply given up.

Prediction: Malakar should be long gone by now, but someone keeps voting for him. Stacey could indeed have a problem.
