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.

Where were these performances when Steve Tyler was a judge. Who woulda thought it would take Harry Connick to bring this out in a contestant.
The kid did well but the band sucks!! Sorry but that song has one of the heaviest riffs! They did it no justice!
I think he’d be great doing a Meat Loaf tribute…
You guys need to get him on TMS. I’d love to see him next to Eddie. Eddie had a TBT pic on FB that’s looks just like Caleb. The dude can sing I was impressed and I hate AI .
Can’t stand the AI show, but noticed his approach was very similar to John Sykes(original guitarist on the Whitesnake track) doing it in his live shows, which Eddie plays on his radio shows every once in a while. Check it out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxx59BZEncQ
