LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elise Testone and Joshua Ledet successfully channeled icons from the opposite sex on "American Idol."

Shaking her wavy blond hair while sporting a pair of tight bellbottoms, Testone delivered a faithful rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," while Ledet soared by embracing Mariah Carey's vocal acrobatics on "Without You" during the Fox singing competition's idol-themed performance round Wednesday night.

Jennifer Lopez told Testone that she "made everybody get up."

The 28-year-old teacher from Charleston, S.C., and the 19-year-old student from Westlake, La., both earned standing ovations from the panel — as did three other finalists.

One of the remaining nine singers will face elimination Thursday.
