Wednesday night’s (February 24) episode of “American Idol” didn’t provide a whole lot of memorable moments (more on that later), save for another potentially star-making turn care of “Idol” favorite Andrew Garcia. he took Fall out Boy’s breakout hit single “Sugar, We’re Going Down” and smoothed it out to a shuffling acoustic ditty that sounded simultaneously sweet and heartbreaking.

Garcia tapped into the same approach that made his stripped-down version of Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” such a head-turner during the audition process. unfortunately, the judges weren’t as enthusiastic about “Sugar, We’re Going Down” as they were about “Straight Up” (they seemed to think the treatment of the song was too much of a downer).

Despite the panning from Simon and the rest of the judges, “Sugar, We’re Going Down” was an excellent choice for Garcia. It’s got nice balance of pop hooks and pathos, and it was remarkable how well it translated from rollicking anthem to slowed-down acoustic torch song.

Here’s the question, though: could Garcia have been making a comment on the fact that we recently pointed out that Garcia sort of looks a lot like former Fall out Boy guitar tech Brian Keith Diaz? no matter what his intention was, he certainly caught the attention of Fall out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz, who e-mailed MTV News’ James Montgomery last night to say, “What’s up with that dude who looks like Brian Keith Diaz doing ‘Sugar’ on ‘Idol’ last night?” Wentz also weighed in via Twitter: “I think he killed it,” he tweeted at Ryan Seacrest. “Team Andrew Garcia.”

You can check out Garcia’s performance here and compare it to the original tune — which still sounds fresh and vital today — in the tongue-in-cheek video below.
