JASON ''SUNDANCE'' HEAD
Everything about the son of '60s hitmaker Roy Head — his voice, his beard, his personality — was big and delightful. Even Simon dug him!

PORCELANA PATINO
This peculiar bleach-blonde looked like another Idol punchline — until her fierce, rock-tinged rendition of Mary J. Blige's ''Love No Limit.''

SANJAYA MALAKAR
Outperformed his big sister by tackling a Stevie Wonder number with merciful restraint; if he just loses the Gayle King haircut, he'll fit right in.

CHRIS SLIGH
The Jack Osbourne look-alike's take on ''Kiss From a Rose'' was Birmingham's best. Plus, he made the judges laugh — intentionally.
