If you listen to Randy Jackson, the American Idol male semifinalists decided Wednesday was the night they'd show they were every bit as good as the ladies.

Problem was, his comment came after the first solid male vocal of the night, delivered by Burnell Taylor. Five performances into the show.

Problem was, it was mostly a figment of Randy's imagination.

In addition to Burnell, we heard from Lazaro Arbos, Curtis Finch Jr., Devin Velez, Vincent Powell, Paul Jolley, Cortez Shaw, Nick Boddington, Elijah Liu and Charlie Askew.
