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.

UPDATE BELOW!!! The American Idol Rat Pack theme list of songs spoiler rumors from EW may or may not be true, but it’s sure fun to speculate on American Idol spoilers anyway. One thing that’s interesting from this supposed spoiler is the lack of two songs for each of the Top 5 to sing this week.

Directly from an anonymous member of Ricky Minors band here are some real spoilers which came in fresh this morning. Remember: these songs are the pics the Idols made before any dressed rehearsal but they are the real deal. Matt: ‘Fly me to the moon’ (originally Megan’s pick, but Matt insisted). Danny: ‘That’s Amore’ (his second pick is ‘i’ve got you under my skin’). Allison: ‘Can’t Take That Away From Me’. She already sung it during previous rehearsals and will probably do this one on stage. Adam ‘Leroy Brown’ or ‘That’s Life’. ‘That’s life’, was originally claimed by Kris (so don’t act all surprised if Kris comes out on stage with this one). Kris has chosen ‘Fever’ his second choice ‘That’s life’ might also be sung by Adam. And finally the group performance will showcast Allison in a leading role as the female voice in ‘Something Stupid’. Remember during rehearsals things might change.

Jamie Foxx is scheduled to be a “surprise” Mentor on American Idol tonight. Big deal. Isn’t this the same Jamie Foxx who recently made some rather unkind comments about Miley Cyrus? THAT Jamie Foxx? Ugh….

Also, the most recent American Idol news is that there will NOT be TWO songs performed on Idol tonight by the Top 5, but only one song per contestant. Why doesn’t American Idol big-shots just do away with a bunch of this “mentor” nonsense and stop wasting viewer’s time and let the TOP 5 performers do what they do best?! SING!!! And, the judging needs to go back to just three judges – this 4 judge commenting nonsense eats up the entire hour of performances, which means there’s little time left between commercials and stupid Ford video commercials and Group Performances to actually watch the Idol finalists SING!

SONG LIST SPOILER FOR TOP 5 American Idol 4/28/09:

• KRIS ALLEN – “The Way You Look Tonight”
• ALLISON IRAHETA – “Someone To Watch Over Me”
• MATT GIRAUD - “My Funny Valentine”
• DANNY GOKEY – “Come Rain Come Shine”
• ADAM LAMBERT – “Feeling Good”

ETA: Paula Abdul says Natalie Cole will be performing on Wednesday night’s Rat Pack Results Show.

American Idol Top 4 Rock Theme Spoiler:

Slash, guitarist for Guns and Roses and Velvet Revolver tweeted this message on Twitter:

Idol has asked me to do the mentor bit for Rock Week. #fb

American Idol Rock Theme will most likely be next weeks’ theme on 5/5/09, since the Top 3 spot is typically reserved for home visits and producers/judges song choices for the Top 3 Finalists.

ETA: Chris Daughtry and band will be debuting their latest single on American Idol according to the band’s VLog, and even though a specific date is not mentioned, Rock Week seems like a very good bet.

Maybe, just maybe, we can all finally hear Allison Iraheta singing a Janis Joplin song like Piece of My Heart, if she’s not voted off American Idol this week. Come on Allison, show us what you’ve got vocally with a Janis Joplin song!

I can visualize Adam Lambert singing Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns and Roses, or Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones, or even Straight To Hell by The Clash.

For the American Idol Top 4 Rock Theme, what are your song suggestions and/or predictions for the American Idol finalists? Be sure to include each of the Top 5 finalists in your comments, since we don’t know yet who will be voted off American Idol this week.
