Deanna may have left the show last week, but her voice lingers at the Mansion -- an ethereal reminder of her absence. "No one sees me," she sings, as the Rockers listen to a recording of a song she wrote with MiG, a wispily melancholic ballad that grows even sadder given the circumstances. For MiG, her performance is "hauntingly beautiful," and listening to the song again after she's gone is one of the most moving moments of his life.

For Jordis, hearing the song only intensifies her sense of survivor's guilt. She still can't quite believe that after her "Dream On" performance she avoided ending up in the bottom three. She thinks she let her fans down: After one bum note, they had to bail her out. But it has made her realize just how badly she wants to stay on the show.

Suzie is of two minds. On the one hand, she's also sad to see Deanna go, but on the other, she's really happy. All she wants to do is party and celebrate simultaneously giving up the crown of the Queen of the Bottom Three and being coronated the Queen of the Top One.

Before the party can even get underway, however, Dave arrives, looking serious. It's "time to put a foot into the future," he tells the Rockers, and what he's holding will take them down that path -- it's the sheet music for a brand new INXS song, and each Rocker will be going into the studio to lay down a vocal for INXS. It will give each of them a chance to make a fresh impression. "No being chased by ghosts," Dave tells them.

According to Marty, this makes it the most important test the Rockers have been through yet. But as you might expect, a chance like this is not without peril. "A voice can sound one way live and sound completely different in the studio," Dave warns them.

Ty has absolutely no worries about this challenge. He can't wait. He loves to work in the studio and sees this as a chance to show INXS his studio chops. It's also a challenge that he thinks will expose some Rockers' limitations.

What makes this significant to Suzie is that, for the first time, the Rockers are going to be judged against each other on the same song. Marty, however, is less concerned with the other Rockers. If last week put Suzie on the "up" escalator, Marty's going in the opposite direction -- moving from the top to the bottom three last week was a real blow to his confidence. He wants to use this chance to show INXS -- who have been quite vocal the last few weeks in wondering exactly how Marty's voice fits into their band -- how he will meld his voice to their musical style to create something new and interesting.

Everyone (except J.D., who appears to have fallen asleep on his bed, a half-drunk glass of beer on his copy of the song) gathers around the piano in the ballroom to learn the song. Marty says he feels it's a type of tune he's never had to sing before, and its stripped down style is completely foreign to him. "It's not about the power," he explains, "it's about the sensitivity." After everyone else has gone to bed, Marty's still trying to find his voice in the song, and from what we can hear, it's an uphill battle.

The next morning, the Rockers head to Westlake Studios (where INXS has been recording its new album) and are met by Dave, Andrew and Jon. Andrew's excited to hear the possible new directions for INXS; Jon tells the Rockers the band knows they can all sing; what INXS has to do now is "figure out who can sing best for INXS."

Suzie is asked to lay down her vocal first, and she's not too happy about it. It's too early for her; she's feeling a little congested and not sure how her voice will sound. That news leaves Andrew feeling a little heavy hearted, but his mood lightens once she starts to sing. Her "incredible" pitch and the fact that she nailed the song in one take amazed Andrew. Jon is also amazed; if this is how she sings congested, Jon can only imagine how she would sound when she's not sick.

Jordis doesn't fare as well. She starts fiddling with the melody, adding extra notes and runs to the vocal line. Neither Jon nor Andrew is too pleased with what they hear. It's not how they imagined the song, and Jon tells his brother he prefers the way the song was written. It's not that he disliked what Jordis was doing, he says, but "it didn't do the song justice."

Ty is so confident he practically leaps at the mike when his name is called, and his high-energy performance impresses Andrew. It's "awesome," Andrew says. Ty is someone who knows "exactly what he wants to sing and how to deliver the song."

MiG also enters the booth with a clear idea of what he wants to do -- give the song a gentle reading. That quality -- what Andrew describes as "empathy" -- goes right to the heart of what Andrew wants the song to be. "It's a song that reaches out," he says, and the listener is "not going to embrace someone that yells at them."

That's Marty's cue. He steps up to the mike and although he tries to restrain himself, he can't. What Jon calls "the angry Marty" doesn't work; both Jon and Andrew look pained on the other side of the glass. Then inspiration hits. They ask Marty to sing the song in a different key, and it makes all the difference in the world. It brings a gentler, almost vulnerable quality from his voice, and it works. Even Marty is pleased. "I think I've proved something," he concludes.

J.D., who is almost proud of the fact that he didn't rehearse, walks into the booth full of confidence, but it's misplaced. He can't quite get the timing of certain lines and needs multiple takes to get it right. His cavalier attitude annoys the other Rockers; Ty can't believe that the Rocker who continually brags how big a fan he is of INXS didn't take the trouble to learn the song.

There are new songs to learn when the Rockers return to the Mansion -- this week's tunes are posted. Again, the stakes are raised by the high profile of this week's selections. Hits like Elvis' "Suspicious Minds," John Lennon's "Imagine" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" are classics -- songs that if you screw them up, Marty says, the audience will take it personally. And on two of the songs -- the Queen song and The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" -- a choir will provide accompaniment.

Surprisingly, only one song is contested: "Bohemian Rhapsody." Suzie immediately decides she must sing it, and MiG, who calls it "the greatest rock song ever written," tells Suzie they're going to have to "wrestle for it." J.D. reminds MiG that if MiG had let Suzie sing her original last week, maybe she'd let him have it. MiG soon reconsiders; he's been trying to downplay his theatrical background, and if he sings Queen yet again, INXS might penalize him for not taking chances. He finally decides to let Suzie take the song.

Suzie, of course, cries tears of joy when MiG hands her the song, but they could quickly become tears of frustration. Paul calls "Bohemian Rhapsody" one of the most difficult rock songs to sing. "If you get off the track," he continues, "the whole thing could fall apart." And in rehearsal, Suzie has problems getting on track. She's not sure she can remember the words, plus the melody's complexity and ranginess is a concern. "There's no room for error," she says, and she's ready to panic.

Will Queen help Suzie hold on to her new crown? What songs have the other Rockers chosen, and how will their performances influence INXS's decision on whom to eliminate this week? Tune in to CBS Tuesday at 10PM for the performance show and Wednesday at 9PM (all times ET/PT) for another special one-hour elimination show to find out.
