Theatrical front-runner Adam Lambert again dominated "American Idol" Tuesday night, rocking a revved-up "Born to Be Wild" with simulated pyrotechnics in the background.
Quentin Tarantino, an "AI" obsessive, mentored for "Songs From the Movies" night. Of Adam, he gushed, "He's the real deal."
In an effort to speed up the show, just two judges commented at a time. The visibly overwhelmed Paula Abdul spoke to Adam in a series of motivational posters ("You dare to dance in the path of greatness"; "Fortune rewards the brave"). Simon Cowell still found the glass half empty, saying, "It was like watching 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' at parts."
Lil Rounds disappointed Simon with her gospel-infused "The Rose," taking a few frustrated moments to defend herself. Allison Iraheta, considered the only female hope for the competition, let loose on Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." (Paula suggested that Allison shares Adam's "special sauce.")
Both Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud sang Bryan Adams covers, with only Kris Allen drawing inspiration from a recent movie ("Falling Slowly" from "Once"). And Danny Gokey's unfortunate "Miami Vice" blazer distracted from his rendition of "Endless Love."

�Over on "Dancing With the Stars," the rhumba proved the undoing of Steve-O. "You have charmed this ballroom," said host Tom Bergeron to the occasionally injured "Jackass" star. Steve-O's parting words were in gratitude to partner Lacey Schwimmer for her patience.
"Sometimes I tend to 'manstruate,'" he admitted.
