American Idol: Who Scored Solid Gold on '80s Night?

It was '80s night on Wednesday's episode of American Idol. But did it matter that most of the top eight weren't old enough to even to sing a note when their song choices were popular?
Not if you're Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez or Skylar Laine.
As the competitors face elimination Thursday night, Ledet, Sanchez and Laine should easily be safeguarded. Ledet (singing Simply Red's "If You Don't Know Me By Now") and Sanchez (tackling Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know") brought predictably excellent performances, with judges giving Ledet another standing ovation and praising Sanchez for her "powerhouse vocals."
