‘American Idol’ Recap: Favorites Paris Tassin, Lauren Alaina Advance Round 1

It was Hollywood Week for 'American Idol' tonight. The contestants sing a capella, in a line, receiving no feedback. All the favorites and head turners were back, and for the most part, the hopefuls that were sent packing were not surprising choices.

Paris Tassin's rendition of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' stunned and she was a no-brainer for moving forward. So was the high functioning autistic James Durbin, whom we met last night. Lauren Alaina, who Steven Tyler mused could have been "the one" during her initial audition, brought the house down with 'Unchained Melody.'

Country baritone and fan fave Scotty McCreery gave an encore performance of a Josh Turner song and sticking with what he knows served him well. He gives J. Lo goosebumps, too. Chris Medina, who sings for his wheelchair-bound girlfriend, also got another chance. Jacee Badeaux, the young, heavy set boy with the angelic voice, also impressed, as did Hollie Cavanaugh, who was way more confident in her second round than her first, where she sobbed.

Red-headed Brett Loewenstern, who looks like Sideshow Bob from 'The Simpsons' thanks to his wild hair, and Seth Rogan lookalike Casey Abrams both advanced.

There are 168 contestants left and they're all ready to take the Idol crown.
