Today In ‘Idol’: Ryan Tedder Vs. Adam Lambert—Who Did “Sleepwalker” Better?

:: Are you digging this season’s elimination song, Will Young’s “Leave Right Now”? We have to admit, these 10 songs would probably be more appropriate to say goodbye to ousted contestants than a love song (as good as it is). [Idol Tracker]

:: What happened to Andrew Garcia’s front runner status? Maybe he should just pander to the judges and sing a Kara DioGuardi song like Didi Benami did. [Idol Chatter]

:: Adam Lambert tweets his frustration with being asked the same questions over and over by interviewers. (No, he was not asked to be Queen’s new frontman. No, he does not consider himself the male Lady Gaga. And yes, he’s gay. Let’s move on.) [MJs Big blog]

:: After the jump, listen to Ryan Tedder’s demo of “Sleepwalker,” one of the standout tracks on For Your Entertainment.

It may be unfair to judge a demo version, but we’re glad Tedder handed this one over to Lambert instead of keeping it for himself. Adam’s off-the-charts vocal prowess may have pushed this song to the next level, much like he did with Lady Gaga’s “Fever.”

Here’s Adam’s version for reference (not like you don’t already have Glambert’s album and have already listened to this track a zillion times, amiright?):
