Last night's American Idol performances paid homage to legendary songwriter Carole King, whose hits are almost countless, giving the finalists plenty of material.

Some of the highlights from the top six:

• Presumptive frontrunner James Durbin stripping down his usual hard rock style for an intimate take on "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow."
• Scotty McCreery bouncing back from last week and taking on "You've Got a Friend" and adding a unique twist to the James Taylor classic.
• Haley Reinhart delivering a powerful performance of "Beautiful" that was certainly true to its name, especially by the time she got to the end.

Take a look at their performances below and tell us who you think was best - and who you think is deserves a one-way ticket home on the results show tonight ...
