group night

The strong survived and the weak got sent home, as Hollywood Week at 'American Idol' (Wed., 9PM ET on FOX) continued. 'Group Night' is tragic for some, joyful for others, and shattered nerves and lack of sleep don't help at all.

It won't be long, though, before we'll be voting for our favorite contestants. Get your speed dials ready!

Watch the videos after the jump.

It's group night in Hollywood, and frankly, I don't really get it. I mean, when the contestants get to American Idol, they don't perform as groups that often. And when they do, they're coached and have someone else doing all the choreography and such. Is it that important for them to do it at this stage of the game? Because what usually happens is that some contestants with great voices end up going home because of their awful group.

Anyway, there were plenty of tears, drama, and all-night rehearsals, but it's all good for the ratings.
