DENVER - American Idol contestants in Denver sang their hearts out with hopes of gaining a ticket to Hollywood. The judges dished out the usual compliments and criticism, minus one familiar voice. With Paula Abdul gone from the show, guest judge Victoria Beckham did her part to seperate the good from the bad. "I'm kind of in black because I am mourning. I am mourning her leaving the show. She was the heart of the show. It was like me last year," says Idol judge Dioguardi.
