“AMERICAN IDOL” CONTESTANT CALEB JOHNSON PERFORMS WHITESNAKE’S “STILL OF NIGHT”
On last night’s (April 30th) episode of American Idol, contestant, and resident rocker, Caleb Johnson performed Whitesnake’s Still of the Night. Watch his performance below.
Still of the Night appears on Whitesnake’s 1987 self titled album which sold over eight million copies in the US where the album went platinum eight times. Besides Still of the Night, other singles released from the Whitesnake album included: Here I Go Again, Is This Love?, Crying in the Rain and Give Me All Your Love.
American Idol season 13 is broadcast on the Fox network and features judges Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr..
As per a poster’s suggestion (thanks Gary) I have also included Caleb’s performance of Led Zeppelin’s Dazed and Confused below.

Not a fan of the show but he’s pretty good. They need more contestants that rock and not sing ttoday’s crappy music instead. IMO the winners are manufactured stars and don’t last very long like REAL rock stars.
I would have laughed my ass off if he sang “slide it in.”
LOL That’s a goood suggestion for that Caleb dude to sing. Slide it in! \m/ kudos Scott!
I think everyone is just shocked that a hard rock song was on AI……..For what it is, the guy did okay, but that was so PG and not like the song really is. The beauty of the song is the sexual innuendo…When the kid does “Spit it Out”, then I will be interested.
The hard rock artists on AI actually tend to do fairly well in the competition.
He also sang Rush’s Working Man and Rival Sons’ Pressure and Time a few weeks ago. Say what you want about American Idol, but every now and then they do stumble onto some real talent.
I hate to admit it, but I have to agree Blake.

Now THATS funny … there is a resemblance for sure…
LOL Caleb does look a bit like Eddie 😉
