HALEY SCARNATO

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE After her spastic, unsettling ''Queen of the Night,'' it's clear Haley should never ''rock'' again. Nor can we condone another attempt to match Celine Dion, or anything as drippy as ''If My Heart Had Wings.'' Um, how about a selection from a Disney-on-Broadway musical?

FROCK U Haley wowed Simon at her audition by sporting a sexy black pantsuit with a plunging back. Perhaps a similar look will distract him from making cruel barbs about her singing.

REQUEST LIST Simon & Garfunkel's ''The Sound of Silence,'' No Doubt's ''Don't Speak'' (Yes, we are being cruel.)
