The judges provided a standing ovation to Casey Abrams, the 20-year-old film camp counselor of Idyllwild, Calif., after his jazzy rendition of Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" from "The Boy with Green Hair." Ivovine originally pushed Abrams to perform Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" from "Risky Business," but Abrams took a stand with "Nature Boy." James Durbin, the 22-year-old rocker from Santa Cruz, Calif., also faced off against Ivovine over his song choice of Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal" from the film of the same name. The rebellion also paid off for Durbin, who was accompanied by guitarist Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society. His performance prompted Randy Jackson to repeatedly chant, "Durbin rocks!" One of the eight finalists will be dismissed Thursday. ___ Fox is a unit of News Corp. ___ Online:
