Season after season, the "American Idol" judges hammer home the same message. By now, every contestant should know song choice is the paramount concern. But our question is—do the songs snag Buzz even if contestants butcher them?

Well, sometimes. Curiosity about tunes isn't affected by how good or bad the performance is. Last week, Brandon Rogers didn't impress the judges with his version of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." However, both "Time" and Cyndi spiked in searches that night and the '80s ballad made the number two spot on the Buzz "Idol" playlist.

In the dirty dozen "Idol" tradition, here are 12 songs that had people tapping their fingers on keyboards...
