American Idol Season 10 Schedule Air Dates Move to Wednesday and Thursday

American Idol Fan — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:01:57 +0000

American Idol Season 10 doesn’t start until January 2011 but FOX and AI’s Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe have been very busy making big changes to the show in apparent hopes to revive the popularity and ratings of American Idol. Season 9 wasn’t very memorable in many people’s views, including mine. Simon Cowell ran off into the sunset to do X Factor, Kara DioGuardi got the boot, Paula Abdul has been gone awhile, leaving sole original judge Randy Jackson to carry on.

Yeah, we’ve got the new judges team of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler on board. Yawn. Nigel Lythgoe announced recently that the Top 24 contestants is no more, but American Idol contestants will move right on to the Top 12 after Hollywood. AI is keeping the theme weeks, but the challenges contestants will face with the new season have increased.

According to TVGuide.com, there will be “contests to make the best music video, to promote themselves, and to work with a band and dancers for an awards show-style performance.” Whether or not American Idol will return to the early glory days of high ratings remains to be seen, but some industry observers are expecting ratings to decline from last year after the initial curiosity seekers get their fill. (LATimes)

American Idol fans have been anxious for new cd releases from their favorite AI contestants, and they’re needs have been met by new cd’s released from Season 9 winner Kris Allen, Adam “Glambert” Lambert, Crystal Bowersox, David Cook, Allison Iraheta, Lee DeWyze, Danny Gokey, Jordin Sparks, Chris Daughtry and even Tim Urban.

Previous American Idol contestants Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson cd and complete album downloads are on the top of many people’s to-do list this holiday season. Let’s also not forget to consider the popular who got kicked off American Idol boot song Leave Right Now by Will Young, played at the end of the show each time a contestant gets voted off, my personal favorite boot song to date.

American Idol Michael Jackson Tribute Songs in Honor of MJ King of Pop

American Idol Fan — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:37:09 +0000

American Idol is doing a special tribute to Michael Jackson on Monday, June 29th at 8 p.m EST. in honor of the King of Pop who passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2009.

American Idol is re-airing the American Idol Season 8 Top 13 episode of Michael Jackson songs, originally aired on March 10, 2009 on FOX.

This was the first time that American Idol had done an entire evening of Michael Jackson’s music, and I’m very happy that Idol is doing this special in memory of MJ.

Gawd, I can’t believe Michael Jackson is dead. Here’s the list of songs that will be performed on Monday’s special tribute to Michael Jackson:

Lil Rounds – “The Way You Make Me Feel” VIDEO

Scott MacIntyre – “Keep the Faith” VIDEO

Danny Gokey – “Pretty Young Thing” VIDEO

Michael Sarver – “You Are Not Alone” VIDEO

Jasmine Murray – “I’ll Be There” VIDEO

Kris Allen – “Remember the Time” VIDEO

Allison Iraheta – “Give in to Me” VIDEO

Anoop Desai – “Beat It” VIDEO

Jorge Nunez – “Never Can Say Goodbye” VIDEO

Megan Joy – “Rockin’ Robin” VIDEO

Adam Lambert – “Black and White” VIDEO

Matt Giraud – “Human Nature” VIDEO

Alexis Grace – “Dirty Diana” VIDEO

The news of Michael Jackson’s death sent shock waves around the world, with Jackson fans in complete shock and disbelief that the King of Pop has died. Michael Jackson was only two years older than me, and I grew up listening to MJ’s music from the time I was little. Our family used to watch the Jackson Five variety show on television when Michael Jackson and his siblings were little boys and girls (LaToya and Janet), and we’ve never wavered in our admiration and deep respect for the genius that is Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson fans are rushing to buy up as much Michael Jackson memorabilia as possible, and I don’t blame them one bit. I already have quite a lot of Michael Jackson music and the collection just keeps getting bigger. In my heart, Michael Jackson will live on forever not only as the King of Pop, but also someone who was born into the same family religion as I did.

If you ever watched the show on television years ago describing Michael Jackson’s early childhood and the abuse he suffered that was detailed in the story, you know what I’m referring to. I choose to remember Michael Jackson as not only the King of Pop, but also someone whose early childhood was very similar to my own – except for the music career part. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.

Tune into Fox on Monday to watch the American Idol Tribute to Michael Jackson.

The Top 13 are singing “So What” by Pink. All the contestants are wearing white outfits, looking good. Group performances usually suck, and this is one isn’t much different. Pitchy in places, and finally over. Whew. VIDEO

David Cook is singing “Permanent“, the tribute song to his brother Adam who died recently from brain cancer. 100% of proceeds go to David’s charity “ABC Square”. David Cook’s single will go on sale immediately following the show tonight, so be sure to download it on iTunes! David Cook’s performance is spectacular, a blockbuster if there ever was one! The emotional performance, with David having tears in his eyes, was phenomenal. “It’s a tough song” says David to Ryan. VIDEO

Ryan is handing out the “Golden award” trophy for the worst Idol contestant wannabe from Season 8. Ugh…, the sound of these voices is painful. The winner is…. Nick Mitchell who attempted to sing “And I Am Telling You” during auditions. Oh No, Nick is now singing I’m Not Going AGAIN!!! Please No!!! Whew, that’s finally over.

Lil Rounds and Queen Latifah DUET Performance – “Cue The Rain” – Latifah doesn’t appear to really be singing and Lil Rounds is all over the place.

Kris Allen and Keith Urban duet “Kiss A Girl” performance. Kris and Keith are playing guitar, uptempo, sounding really good. VIDEO

The Top 13 Idol girls start singing “Glamorous” by Fergie, then bring Fergie out to sing “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. Megan Joy and Jasmine Murray sucked big time!

The Black Eyed Peas are singing “Boom Boom Pow” with lots of censoring. Idol cuts out momentarily to show just the show logo and cuts off the sound during the ahem… questionable lyrics. VIDEO

More freak awards. It’s Katrina the “Bikini Girl”. She’s singing too, or at least trying to, wearing a bikini of course. Kara DioGuardi helps her on stage with the singing, and opens her black dress to reveal a black bikini!!! OMG!

Allison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper duet performance “Time After Time”. Cyndi’s playing the autoharp. Not bad at all. VIDEO

Danny Gokey sings “Hello” and then the duet medley performance with Lionel Richie of some of Lionel’s hits. Very good performance. VIDEO

The “Journey of Adam Lambert” on American Idol clips.

Adam Lambert sings “Beth” then the duet performance rocking with KISS singing “Rock-n-Roll All Night”. The Nokia Theatre Idol House is Rockin Tonight! Adam’s wearing a weird outfit with wings, and KISS (and Adam) are wearing those hideously high heeled platform shoes KISS is known for. Too funny. Awesome duet performance! VIDEO

Carlos Santana, playing guitar to “Black Magic Woman” and “Smooth” with the Top 13 Idol performers. Santana is simply spectacular! VIDEO

Final Ford Video “I Will Remember You” with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. David Cook surprises Kris Allen and Adam Lambert with keys to a brand new Ford Fusion. VIDEO

Steve Martin playing banjo as Michael Sarver and Megan Joy destroy their duet song performance “Pretty Flowers” written by Steve Martin. Michael and Megan both sounded out of breath throughout the entire song, pitchy all over the place. Just BAD. VIDEO

The Top Idol guys sing Rod Stewart’s “If You Think I’m Sexy”. Rod Stewart takes the stage to sing “Maggie“. Rod is an icon, but he doesn’t sound good tonight, verrrry verrrry pitchy. How old is Rod Stewart anyway? I love ya Rod, but yikes……not a good performance. VIDEO

Oh Lord, one more Golden Award for the Idol wannabe’s. Ouch. Tatiana Del Toro wins and runs onto the stage to get her award, and starts singing while Ryan says “we have to take a break” and runs around the stage to avoid “security”. Planned….

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are singing “We Are The Champions” with Queen! Surprise Guest Performance is QUEEN!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! AWESOME PERFORMANCE!!! Definitely worth downloading on iTunes after the show! AWESOME!!! Great harmony! VIDEO

THIS IS IT!!! The American Idol Finale 2009 Results Are In from last night’s performance. Lights are dimmed and here we go….

Check out the American Idol Top 3 judges choice spoilers for what Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey will be singing tonight on American Idol (May 12, 2009).

Hopefully we won’t have to listen to too much chatter from the judges, but rather can focus on the Top 3 singing performances instead.

***Keep watching this space for LIVE updates during and after the show, as VIDEO will be edited in after the show ends.***

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!! “Heroes of their hometown” says Ryan Seacrest. This is the 300th American Idol episode. Tonight’s “Three Amigos” are about to take the Idol stage. Ryan is introducing the judges. Ryan introduces the Top 3 American Idol Finalists, asking viewers “Who will you vote for to be in the Finale?”

First up is Danny Gokey singing “Dance Little Sister” by Terrance Trent D’Arby. Paula Abdul is up on her feet dancing to Danny’s performance. Good job Danny! Uptempo, singing on key (for a change), no screaming. Randy Jackson says “that was dope for me dude”. Kara DioGuardi didn’t like the dancing “too gyrating” – “forgettable performance”. Paula loved Danny’s performance, doing a “fantastic job”. Simon Cowell says the dancing “was a bit desperate”, “vocally very good”, but didn’t care much for the sax solo and “wrong song”. After Idol ends tonight, To VOTE for Danny Gokey, dial 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 04 or 07. (Text 5701) VIDEO

Next up is Kris Allen singing “Apologize” by One Republic. Kris is playing the piano and hitting the notes wonderfully, sounding really good tonight. Great job Kris! Randy Jackson loved this performance, “it shows us what you can do in the music business in the future”. Kara said it was a “competent performance”, but says “you gotta hit it out of the park” and not behind the piano, taking more chances. Paula Abdul says “there was a bum note” but says Kris deserves to be in the Top 3. Simon tells Kara she and Randy can’t choose a song for Kris to sing but then blame Kris for doing the song with the arrangement he chose, saying Kara and Randy should have chosen the arrangement. To VOTE for Kris Allen, dial 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 05 or 08. (Text 5702) VIDEO

Here comes Adam Lambert singing “One” by U2. (Simon Cowell says Bono agreed to allow Adam perform their song tonight). Starts off soft and mellow, very smooth….., then powerhouse vocals take over again. WOW Adam! Simon’s smiling and clapping. Randy Jackson says Adam “is in the zone” but wasn’t impressed with the song choice or performance, to which Simon says “booo”. Kara says Adam is a “strategist”, able to make performances “unbelievable”, doing his “own version” of the song. Paula jokes about sitting next to Simon “gloating over Adam’s performance”. Simon says “that was a brilliant song choice”, “a brilliant, brilliant performance”. To VOTE for Adam Lambert, dial 1-866-IDOLS-03 or 06 or 09. (Text 5703) VIDEO

Carrie Underwood video clip of efforts to end Malaria in Africa, hosted by Exxon Mobil. Idol Gives Back helping those in need, but a lot more mosquito nets to be given out. “We’re not done yet”. VIDEO

Next up is Danny Gokey singing his Personal Choice song, “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker. I was very nervous Danny wouldn’t be able to pull off this song tonight, but Danny is sounding really good. Smooth, no screaming, great melody, very very good performance. Randy Jackson says “amazing song”, “you showed dude that you can really, really, really sing dawg”. Kara calls it a “stunning” performance. Paula says Danny’s changing up the “structure” of the song arrangement made for a “beautiful performance”. Simon calls it a “vocal masterclass”. Good job Danny! Again, to VOTE for Danny Gokey, dial 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 04 or 07. (Text 5701) VIDEO

Kris Allen is up next with his Personal Choice song, “Heartless” by Kanye West. Kris is playing the guitar with this performance. Randy Jackson says “this is gonna be one of the toughest voting” this season, “better than the original”, “I loved it, I loved it”. Kara says it “was bold, brave and fearless”. Paula says “bravo”, “I commend you”. Simon thought it “was a lame song choice” and had “literally written you out of this competition, but that’s all changed after that performance”. Good job Kris! But, is it good enough to be in the Top 2 Finale? Again, to VOTE for Kris Allen, dial 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 05 or 08. (Text 5702) VIDEO

Adam Lambert takes the stage to sing the last song of the night and his Personal Choice song, “Cryin” by Aerosmith. True Adam Lambert all the way. Adam Lambert haters will of course despise him for the “screaming”. Randy Jackson says Adam is “one of the best we’ve ever had on American Idol”; “you are a rock star baby”. Kara wonders “Who hits those notes? Adam Lambert”. Paula says “We’ll see you in the finals”. Simon Cowell says he’s “not going to suck up”, but tells Adam that Adam fans need to vote for Adam because he deserves to be in the finals based on talent. Again, to VOTE for Adam Lambert, dial 1-866-IDOLS-03 or 06 or 09. (Text 5703) VIDEO

American Idol 5/6/09 Top 4 Rock and Roll Theme-Who Got Voted Off American Idol

American Idol Fan — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:02:56 +0000

American Idol May 6, 2009 is here! We’re LIVE for tonight’s American Idol Top 4 Rock theme elimination vote. American Idol starts tonight at 9 P.M. EST, when we find out Who Got Voted Off American Idol tonight!

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!! Over 64 million votes were registered for last night’s ROCK performances. WOW! Ryan introduces the Idol judges. “No Doubt is here” and Daughtry performs, as does Paula Abdul.

Next is the Ford Video Performance of Move Along. VIDEO

Here comes SLASH with the Top 4 Finalists singing “Schools Out” by Alice Cooper. They’re ROCKIN’ tonight! Yeah baby! Slash sure plays a mean guitar, and the Top 4 are doing a great job, with Adam Lambert hitting the high notes with spectacular precision. VIDEO

Ryan speaks with Slash briefly about an upcoming album but gets no details, and now we’re at a commercial. The American Idol LIVE summer tour tickets go on sale this Saturday, says Ryan.

Ryan asks the Top 4 “what’s the vibe” on Wednesday nights? Kris Allen says it’s surreal to sing before millions of people, but Simon Cowell tells Kris “we don’t want humble anymore” but that Kris should feel like he deserves to be on American Idol. Adam Lambert says he’s been having a blast, and loved his outfit last night. Danny Gokey says he was laughing the whole night after watching the playback video, and referred to the ending of his Dream On song as a “horror scream”. Yeah it was! Allison says she felt the need to speak up for herself about her song choice for last night when Simon criticized her. VIDEO

Paula Abdul is up singing (lip-synching) I’m Just Here For The Music. Paula’s performance was pre-taped last night, as was No Doubt’s performance. The only LIVE performance tonight is by Chris Daughtry. Paula is wearing a short, green and black outfit, moving around the stage with her backup dancers during her performance. The song is uptempo/techno sounding and actually sounds pretty good, but I may have to listen to it a few times to get hooked on it enough to download it. VIDEO

Commercial again.

Paula Abdul did a quick clothes change and Ryan asks Paula “Why now” about why perform her song on American Idol. She says Idol is the greatest place to perform her new single.

No Doubt is on stage singing I’m Just A Girl. No Doubt is actually doing push-ups on the stage while singing. Umm, why? No Doubt (Gwen Stafani) is a very popular performer, but I don’t get the fascination, sorry. VIDEO

Green bra underneath a sheer white tank top – that’s called an outfit? Tacky, tacky. Commercial break again.

The Results Are In! Video clips of previous hometown visits are shown, since hometown visits for the Top 4 are on the line tonight. The Top 4 Finalists take the stage, and the lights are dimmed. Here we go. VIDEO

Ryan reminds each of the finalists of the judges comments about their performances last night. “The first person in the Top 3 and headed home for a parade is KRIS ALLEN!!! Wow!!! Kris Allen is SAFE!!! Commercial break again. Twitter is going wild!!!

Video is shown of Chris Daughtry being voted off American Idol Season 6, but that was “just the beginning” of Daughtry’s amazing career. Chris Daughtry is singing the debut new single performance of No Surprise on American Idol. Rock it Chris! VIDEO

Love me some Daughtry… Definitely have to dig up the Lyrics to No Surprise right after American Idol ends tonight. The song and performance is great! Chris Daughtry tells Ryan Seacrest that his elimination from American Idol felt like the “world was coming to an end, but I got over it 30 seconds later”. No kidding – Chris Daughtry ROCKS!!! Commercial again.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol?? The second person who is in the Top 3 (in random order) and headed to their hometown is ADAM LAMBERT!!!! Adam Lambert is SAFE!!!

Danny Gokey is SAFE and Allison Iraheta got voted off American Idol! Definitely didn’t see that one coming! Predictions had Danny Gokey or Kris Allen going home tonight! Wow. Shocker!!! MAJOR UPSET! Just 17 years old, Allison Iraheta once again rocks out to Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby. Allison Iraheta fans have been desperately wanting to hear Allison sing Piece Of My Heart by Janis Joplin, but it’s not going to happen on American Idol. VIDEO

The Top 3 American Idol Theme Next Week – Top 3 Finalists (Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey) take on Judges Choice and their Personal Pick. TWO Songs for each next week. Hometown visits happen on Friday next week, and by then we’ll know the Judges Choices.

What do you think? Did America get it right? Should Allison Iraheta have been voted off American Idol? Who did you think/hope would get kicked off Idol tonight?

American Idol 5/5/09 Top 4 ROCK Theme – American Idol Recap, Review, Performances

American Idol Fan — Wed, 06 May 2009 01:06:40 +0000

American Idol 5-5-09 ROCK night is here! We’re LIVE with American Idol, briefly wondering if the show would go on after hearing about the accident involving American Idol Stage Manager Debbie Williams! Debbie Williams fell down the 20 foot staircase, and a glass tower started breaking, causing an evacuation of the auditorium! But, here is Ryan Seacrest taking the Idol stage saying THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Ryan explains how the glass tower “started popping” and started to collapse. Ryan says The Show Must Go On! The Idol judges are introduced and then the Top 4 Finalists are brought onto the stage. Slash is mentor for the Top 4 this week, well known as lead guitarist for Guns n Roses and Velvet Revolver, a “true rock icon”.

Adam Lambert is up first singing Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Adam is ROCKIN’ Tonight!!! Adam Lambert is a ROCK STAR! Randy Jackson says forget about all that crap about theatrical performances, this was HOT! Kara loved Adam’s performance, saying Adam is a “Rock God”. Paula was quick and to the point, loved it 100%. Simon Cowell says Adam’s performance tonight was his favorite performance by Adam! ***Phone numbers to VOTE for Adam Lambert, phone 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 5705. VIDEO

Allison Iraheta is next up singing Cry Baby by Janis Joplin! Allison has the perfect vocal ability to do Janis Joplin right, and she rocked out that song! Personally, I would have liked for Allison Iraheta to sing Piece Of My Heart by Janis Joplin, but she opted for Cry Baby. Randy Jackson said it was okay but thought the repetitive “cry baby, cry baby” lyrics was too much. Kara also felt Janis Joplin was a great rock performer to emulate, but wasn’t impressed with the performance. Simon Cowell says Allison needs to just “beg” to make it through the results show tomorrow night and not be voted off. Oh Simon….Allison did a great job! Loved the hairdo she had professionally done too! Allison ROCKED it tonight! ***Phone Numbers to VOTE for Allison Iraheta, phone 1-866-IDOLS-02 or 5706. VIDEO

The first DUET performance by Kris Allen and Danny Gokey singing “Renegade” by Styx. Randy Jackson liked the harmonies but didn’t like the singing individually. Kara said some parts were pitchy, but together as a duet it was “united and strong”. Paula said it was “powerful and compelling”. Simon Cowell says Danny Gokey was better than Kris. Ouch, but true. Kris’ voice sounded strained, sounding like he was struggling to reach the high notes. It was obvious, but all in all, the duet was just alright. Fortunately, no phone numbers are being given to Vote for the duet performances, because the duet’s would be in the bottom 2 tomorrow night. VIDEO

Next to sing is Kris Allen performing “Come Together” by The Beatles, guitar-ready. Randy Jackson recognizes that Kris isn’t “really rock”, liked the vocals but especially liked what Kris was “doing on the guitar”. Kara says Kris is the “softer side of rock” but “not a great performance, trying too hard”. Paula says doing a Beatles song was “risky” for this week, needs a “little more energy” but deserves to be on the Idol stage. Simon didn’t like it that much, saying the performance was “like eating ice for lunch, leaving you nothing afterwards”. Simon also said that no one was going to do better than Adam. ***Phone Numbers to VOTE for Kris Allen, phone 1-866-IDOLS-07 or 5703. VIDEO

Danny Gokey is up with “Dream On” by Aerosmith. Ummm Danny, that was painful to listen to and watch. Randy Jackson says this isn’t Danny’s genre and “was alright for me”, given an “A+ for effort”. Kara says Danny “took it too far” with edge, complimented Danny on being bold and going for it, but… Paula said she didn’t feel this was the right song for Danny to sing, wasn’t her favorite choice of songs at all. Simon says the “last night was like watching a horror movie” with the screaming at the end, and was “over the top”, but still thinks Danny will be safe tomorrow night. ***Phone numbers to VOTE for Danny Gokey, phone 1-866-IDOLS-04 or 5708. VIDEO

The final DUET performance is between Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert singing “Slow Ride” by Foghat. Perfect combination of voices that ROCK the house!!! Randy Jackson says Adam and Allison should do a duet on their album. Kara says they are rock stars, and she loved the performance. Paula agrees they should do a duet on an album. Simon Cowell says “in the battle of the duets, you win tonight”. Simon also says that singing with Adam may have saved Allison this week from elimination. Wow!!! VIDEO

What do you think of the Top 4 American Idol finalist performances tonight? Who will get your vote? Who will be voted off American Idol tomorrow night? Make your predictions in the comments below. I’m going to predict America will vote off Danny Gokey or Kris Allen, but most likely Danny Gokey. That screaming was painful! Thank you MJ at mjsbigblog for the quality videos!

American Idol Top 4 May 5, 2009 (Cinco de Mayo) American Idol Rock Theme! Next week’s theme on American Idol is Rock and Roll and Idol fans can hardly wait to see what songs each of the Top 4 Finalists will sing.

Slash, guitarist for Guns and Roses and Velvet Revolver, serves as Mentor to the Top 4: Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey and Kris Allen.

ETA: TOP 4 DUET American Idol Performances!!! Top Idol is reporting a spoiler that the Top 4 Idol Finalists will not only be singing one solo song performances, but will also be singing a DUET performance as well:

“This week, the contestants WILL BE doing TWO songs, however…in another twist differentiating this season’s Top 4 show from previous ones, American Idol will be taking inspiration all those international editions of Idol…

(And I have been hoping for this for soooooo long for some sick ass reason, I swear. I have wanted to see this for some time on this shit show.)

The Top 4 will not only be performing solo renditions of classic rock songs from the 1970s and 80s…the even number means there will be also be DUET performances.”

Read the rest of the story here.

DUET Performances will/hopefully/keeping our fingers crossed…. be awesome!!! Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta perhaps singing “Piece Of My Heart” by Janis Joplin? One can only hope.

Next week is surely going to be exciting and fun for Idol fans. I wonder if any of the Top 4 will choose to sing “Sweet Child O’ Mine”?!

No Doubt and Chris Daughtry will perform next week too.

Song List Predictions anyone? Make your suggestions, recommendations and/or predictions of song choice in the comments below.

American Idol Fan — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:11:40 +0000

American Idol Spoiler Alert! Next week on American Idol (4/28/09), the Top 5 Idol Finalists will sing songs of the Rat Pack. Rat Pack Standards is the theme for next week, songs from the original Rat Packs: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Joey Bishop.

It’s interesting that next week’s Rat Pack Theme includes 5 big-time performers for the American Idol Top 5 finalists. Coincidence? I doubt it.

The Top 5 Idol contestants will be singing TWO songs next week, not just one, so next week’s Idol performances and results show will surely be entertaining and fun.

American Idol Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks will sing his latest single “Seven Mile Breakdown” from his album “The Distance” next week on Wednesday’s Results Show on American Idol. Ha, another use of the number “5″ in next week’s Rat Pack theme.

What songs each of the Final 5 will sing next week is still anyone’s guess, but if we catch onto any Rat Pack song list spoilers, we’ll be sure to let you know.

What are your recommendations and predictions of what songs the American Idol Top 5 (Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Matt Giraud) will sing next week, or Rat Pack songs you hope they’ll sing?

Last night’s American Idol 4/21/09 Disco themed performances had some good stuff and not so good stuff. “Who got voted off American Idol” predictions have Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud being in the Bottom 3 during tonight’s Idol Results show. TWO of the Top 7 American Idol Finalists are going home tonight, not just one.

Who will be voted off tonight predictions have been quite sketchy and unreliable, especially if you’ve seen recent Idol predictions from Dial Idol. There is also a ridiculous frenzy of “Vote For The Worst” nonsense that is supposedly meant to keep American Idol interesting, but Idol fans aren’t amused by those morons one bit.

Paula Abdul choreographed tonight’s American Idol group performance, and we’ll post video so you can watch American Idol’s results show online and watch who got voted off. Past American Idol Contestant David Archuleta performs tonight singing; Harry Wayne Casey from KC and the Sunshine Band perform; Thelma Houston and Freda Payne perform a medley of their hits. Are you ready?! “THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!”

45 Million Votes for Disco Week! Wow! Video clip of the Idol Group Performance preparations with choreographer Paula Abdul are shown. Paula Abdul introduces the American Idol Top 7 Group Performance song “Shake Your Body Down To The Ground” by Michael Jackson. Kris Allen dancing is just too funny, but the group dance routine (lip-synched of course) was fun and entertaining. Paula Abdul is presented a large, beautiful bouquet of flowers for her hard work teaching the Top 7 to dance. Good job Top 7!

The Ford Video Performance is shown next:

Lil Rounds is then called to stand next to Idol host Ryan Seacrest, and is the first of the two to be voted off American Idol tonight. Lil sings the song she sang last night “I’m Every Woman” and is given a standing ovation. Randy Cowell tells Lil “this is just the beginning baby, just the beginning”. Simon Cowell says Lil is a great singer and is going to miss her family screaming in the audience. Kara and Paula also comment that Lil has a singing career ahead of her.

Disco icon Freda Payne is singing “Band of Gold“. This one is definitely LIVE (singing out of key….OUCH) and Freda really needed a slip under that virtually see-through dress. Yikes! Thelma Houston takes the Idol stage singing “Don’t Leave Me This Way“. KC and The Sunshine Band Harry Wayne Casey is (of course) singing “Get Down Tonight“. After watching these performances, it gives new meaning to PRE-TAPED (and edited) performances. That was pretty painful to watch.

Anoop Desai is told he’s in the Bottom 3 and has to wait to find out if he’s been voted off American Idol. Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud are told to stand together. Matt is safe and Allison Iraheta is told she’s in the Bottom 3 and takes a seat next to Anoop Desai. Wow! Allison in the Bottom 3?! She’s awesome!!!

David Archuleta takes the stage singing “Touch My Hand“. Very nice performance David! I will definitely download David Archuleta’s performance and get the lyrics to sing along (NOT!).

David Archuleta encourages Anoop Desai and Allison Iraheta that regardless of who is voted off tonight, there are lots of other opportunities that come for Idol contestants that don’t make it all the way to the finale.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol with Lil Rounds?

Anoop Desai got voted off and is eliminated from American Idol and Allison Iraheta is safe. Anoop now has to go through the torture of singing his final song on American Idol, “Dim All The Lights”.

Recap video is shown of Lil Rounds and Anoop’s time on American Idol, along with his nickname “Anoop Dog”. Video coming, so keep watching for it!
