Is Randy Jackson leaving American Idol? It was only a matter of time before news and blog reports would come out saying that Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol too, after Season 9, to join Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul on X Factor.

Randy Jackson was interviewed by the LATimes about his future on Idol, and low and behold, Jackson isn’t giving an official exit statement quite yet but…

Just like Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul did about their plans to leave American Idol, the hype and buzz about their possible plans to leave the show went on for far too long.

“We have a theory that — with Cowell leaving, Paula Abdul being a free agent for now, and (as reported) you signing a three-year extension in 2006 — the original “Idol” dream team could reunite on “The X-Factor.” Care to respond?”

Jackson replies, “You know, there’s a song by the Fray that I really love. It’s called “Never Say Never.”

In the Feb 15th edition of The National Enquirer, a tipster spills the beans that yes, Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol.

“Randy was basically told that there was a very good chance he was not going to be asked back after this season,” said the tipster. “Now that Simon’s leaving at the end of the season, they are rethinking the roles of the other judges — and that includes Randy…..”

Randy Jackson has just one more year left on his contract with FOX, and even though Jackson isn’t making an official statement quite yet, Idol fans and Jackson fans might as well start getting used to the idea that all of the original judges for American Idol are walking away from the mega-hit reality show.

What will happen to American Idol after Season 9 is anyone’s guess. Cancelled due to low ratings? Can Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres (and any other judges or guest judges brought in) keep Idol alive, perhaps increase ratings and viewership? Personally, I highly doubt it.

Ellen DeGeneres may do well as a judge on American Idol, we’ll just have to wait and see. With Kara, I can take her or leave her, it makes no difference to me. But now that we know the hype, buzz and rumors about Randy Jackson leaving American Idol are all over the net, it’s a good guess that once Season nine is over and done with, Idol will be gone too.

Replaced by X Factor, with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson as judges.

Rumor has it that our beloved sarcastic American Idol British judge Simon Cowell IS seriously considering or planning to leave American Idol after Season 9 ends. News is traveling fast across the internet that yes.., Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol after all, to focus his time and energies on launching the American version of X Factor.

Surprised? Not me.

I told you Simon Cowell is planning to leave Idol after next season’s Season 9 of American Idol ends months ago. We had to say goodbye to Paula Abdul and now it looks like Idol fans are also losing Cowell as well.

Remember, Simon Cowell’s contract ends in May 2010. If you recall, Simon Cowell was said to have plans to leave American Idol when he turns 50 years old. Simon Cowell is now 50 years old, since Simon’s 50th birthday bash was held two months ago.

Times of London is reporting that Simon Cowell is preparing to make an announcement about a new arrangement with Fox, where the U.S. version of X Factor will air in 2011, and his plans to leave American Idol.

“He is considering standing down as presenter of American Idol, which appears on the Fox network in the US, after its next season. The X Factor is due to begin filming in Los Angeles in September 2011, to be shown on Fox and presented by Cowell.

Cowell is currently paid about £22million a year by Fox to act as a judge on American Idol, which is owned by Cowell’s fellow music and TV producer Simon Fuller. For the past five years it has been the most successful TV show in America.

The filming schedule means that Cowell will be able to front at least one more series of The X Factor in Britain.

Negotiations with ITV are expected to conclude soon, people close to the deal said. Cowell has said that his loyalty is with ITV but wants it to pump money into The X Factor.

If Cowell switches from American Idol to presenting The X Factor in America, it would mark the end of his long commercial relationship with Fuller, the former Spice Girls producer.”

Cowell told a BBC interviewer that he definitely plans to launch the show (X Factor) in the US. “It has to go to America. There has to be an American version of the show,” he said. “To not take ‘The X Factor’ to the biggest market in the world would be crazy.”

One can only speculate about the reasons why Ellen DeGeneres was brought in as the new fourth judge, but with Simon Cowell apparently leaving Idol, what’s the point of hiring a new judge? Tick, Tick, Tick goes the time bomb perhaps?

What will happen to the American Idol show is yet to be determined, but do you hear the tick, tick, ticking of the time bomb yet? Will you stick around to watch American Idol with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul both gone? Rumor has it that if Simon Cowell leaves American Idol for sure, instead of the regular teasing of staying vs. leaving, Idol will cease to exist in no time flat.

Happy Birthday Simon Cowell! Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday party was a lavish, extravagant party in celebration of Simon turning 50 years old on Wedneday, October 7th 2009. The American Idol music mogul got the birthday party started early on Saturday, October 3rd, inviting 400 guests to the party event held at billionaire Sir Philip Green’s mansion in Hertfordshire, England.

Birthday boy spared no expense entertaining family, friends and A-list celebrities including Sir Elton John, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, singers Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue and chef Gordon Ramsay, with an estimated cost said to be a whopping 1.5 million dollars, including 75,000 for a fleet of limousines to bring birthday guests to the event. Speaking about the party’s hefty price tag, the birthday boy said, “I always pick up my own tab whether it’s for four people or 400.”

Simon Cowell treated party guests to vintage champagne and performances by boyband Westlife, X Factor winners Lewis and Alexandra Burke, as well as a Happy Birthday rendition from supermodel Kate Moss. Several of Simon’s ex-girlfriends were also in attendance, including Terri Seymour, Sinitta and Jackie St Clair.

Waiters for the private birthday party wore masks of Simon’s face, with large photo images of Cowell plastered all over the party. Party guests dined on a Simon-themed meal fit for the American Idol judge, including ‘Simon’s Chicken Soup’, boasting pasta shapes in the music mogul’s name.

Simon’s Rolls Royce Phantom was damaged during preparations for the birthday party, when a delivery man bringing 960 bottles of Sapporo lager dropped the first case, sending shattered glass all over Simon’s prized possession. See photos here.

Birthday wishes from David and Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston were pre-recorded and played on giant screens at the birthday party. Simon Cowell’s birthday party guest list included Idol host Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Olivia Newton-John, Jennifer Lopez, Leona Lewis, David Hasselhoff, Katie Price, Paula Abdul, Piers Morgan, Kelly Brook, Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts, The X Factor winner Shayne Ward, and Simon’s 82-year-old mum Julie. Susan Boyle, who shot to fame on Simon’s reality-tv show Britain’s Got Talent, reportedly skipped the party bash because she was too busy with her family in Scotland.

Simon’s Cowell’s birthday letter to “my shallow, reckless, cocky younger self” answers questions of why Simon is always dressed down, why working very hard and never giving up to get to the top is so important makes for an interesting read:

26th September 2009
Dear Simon,
First things first, how are you? On second thoughts, don’t answer that. I know exactly how you are feeling. It is the early Nineties and you are frustrated, exhausted and worried sick. Life at this moment is not great. Yet just a few years ago, you felt like you were the king of the world!
However, your dazzling reign turned out to be rather short-lived, to say the least. The record label you co-owned went bust and you lost everything – the big house, the car, everything.
So the sun went down on your shiny empire and you had to go back to living with Mum and Dad. That was, as I am sure you and I agree, humbling to say the least. Yet what is harder – much harder – is trying to claw your way back up the ladder.

Read more of Simon’s letter to himself.

Happy 50th Birthday Simon Cowell! Aren’t ya thrilled that Simon Cowell is NOT leaving American Idol after all? We’re still really upset though that Paula Abdul is no longer an American Idol Judge.

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!

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

THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Over 47 Million Votes came in last night! Wow!!!

Idol host Ryan Seacrest asks Simon Cowell what he thought of last night’s Rat Pack performances and Simon says “everyone was good”. Taylor Hicks, Natalie Cole and Idol Mentor Jamie Foxx will perform tonight.

Here comes the Ford Commercial

Top 5 Group performance “It Don’t Mean a Thing” and “I Got Rhythm”. It was okay; the group performances are always pre-taped and lack the WOW factor of singing/performing LIVE.

A few Idol Top 5 Birthdays were celebrated in one weekend. Video of the Top 5 in the kitchen “making a cake” but turns into a food fight.

The kitchen was a huge mess, with the food fight supposedly being started by Danny Gokey. Danny was handed a “birthday present” which was a $6000.00 bill to clean up the mess.

Matt Giraud is asked to stand on the right side of the stage. Danny Gokey is asked to head to the left side of the stage. Allison Iraheta is asked to stand next to Danny on the left side of the stage. Kris Allen is asked to stand next to Matt Giraud. UH OH Kris! Adam Lambert is asked which of the two groups of contestants he thinks he belongs in. Adam Lambert initially takes the side of the stage with Allison and Danny, but Ryan Seacrest moves Adam Lambert into the group with Matt and Kris.

The Bottom 3!

Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert!!!! Idol fans on Twitter are freaking out at the news that Adam Lambert is in the BOTTOM 3! Quite an UPSET on American Idol tonight! No one would have predicted that Adam Lambert would EVER find himself in the Bottom list!

Natalie Cole is singing “Something’s Gotta Give“. Natalie Cole’s career spans almost 4 decades. Rumor being discussed on Twitter is that Natalie Cole is “sick” and needs a kidney. She definitely looks very very thin.

Taylor Hicks is singing “Seven Mile Breakdown” from his album “The Distance”. Taylor Hicks has lost a few pounds, and his hair is cut much shorter than before.

Joining Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey in the TOP 4 is KRIS ALLEN!!!! That means Adam Lambert and Matt Giraud are the Bottom 2 tonight! WOW!

Idol “mentor” Jamie Foxx takes the stage singing the #1 song in America, “Blame It On The Alcohol“. THAT’S the #1 song in America right now? WHY? Yawn….

Ryan Seacrest is now asking Jamie about working with the Idol contestants and says the Top 5 are all “artists” and will have a great career regardless of who wins American Idol Season 8.

Who Got Voted Off American Idol tonight?

After 47 million votes, the highest of the season, ADAM LAMBERT- is SAFE!

Matt Giraud was voted off American Idol tonight!

Your Top 4 American Idol Finalists:

• Adam Lambert
• Allison Iraheta

American Idol 4/28/09 – American Idol Top 5 RAT PACK STANDARDS Performances, Recap, Comments and Video. Who will get voted off American Idol tomorrow night on the 4/29/09 Idol Results Show???

***Keep watching this space for updates of VIDEOS to watch the American Idol Top 5 finalists (Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta, Matt Giraud and Danny Gokey) sing Rat Pack songs.**

Tonight’s American Idol Rat Pack theme brings back songs from the 5 original Rat Packs: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Joey Bishop., with “surprise” mentor Jamie Foxx appearing tonight on American Idol.

“THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!” – The American Idol Finale is just 3 weeks away! Standards from the Rat Pack Era! “Mystery Mentor” Jamie Foxx is introduced with each of the Top 5 not having any idea who the mentor would be this week.

First to sing is KRIS ALLEN singing “The Way You Look Tonight”. Slow, mellow and smooth. Kris looks great in his suit too. Very nice job Kris! Randy Jackson says “this is your best performance…, nice!” Kara DioGuardi says Kris has “set the technical standards for this night”, and that Kris is a “dark horse in this competition”. Paula Abdul called Kris a “charismatic crooner”. Simon Cowell didn’t think the performance was that great, calling the performance “wet”, and doesn’t believe Kris Allen can possibly win this Season 8 competition. To VOTE for Kris Allen, phone 1-866-IDOLS-01 or 06 – OR Text “VOTE” to 5701 or 5706. TWO phone numbers for each Idol to help you get through! Cool!

Next to sing is ALLISON IRAHETA performing “Someone To Watch Over Me”. Yesterday was Allison’s 17th Birthday. Happy Birthday Allison! Perhaps a bit risky for Allison to sing a love song at such a young age, but she’s doing a great job in this performance. Randy Jackson also loved Allison’s performance. Kara says Allison likely earned some new fans tonight, and if this performance “doesn’t land you in the finals, I don’t know what will”. Paula says the performance was alluring and very tender. Simon Cowell asks Allison if she thinks she can win the competition and she of course does, but Simon says he feels she could be in trouble tonight. Uh Oh Allison!!! To VOTE for Allison Iraheta, phone 1-866-IDOLS-02 OR 07 – or Text “VOTE” to 5702 or 5707.

Next up is MATT GIRAUD singing “My Funny Valentine”. Jamie Foxx suggested Matt “change the key” to Matt’s normal voice, and Jamie feels that would be all it would take for Matt to nail the song. Randy Jackson said it was “pitchy” in some places and said it was a “6 out of 10″. Kara commented that Matt “wasn’t emotionally connected to the song”. Paula says she “felt the connection by lowering the key” and that he did an “excellent job tonight”. Simon Cowell disagrees with Randy! Simon says it “was the only believable, authentic song tonight” – saying Matt’s performance was “absolutely brilliant”. To VOTE for Matt Giraud, phone 1-866-IDOLS-03 or 08 – OR Text “VOTE” to 5703 or 5708.

DANNY GOKEY is next with “Come Rain Come Shine”. Danny is doing a GREAT job with this Song!!! WOW!!!! I am soooo going to download this song performance!!! Randy Jackson says Danny is the only one tonight so far who can actually make an album with songs like this, and “you can sing!!!”. Kara says she’s been missing the Rat Pack Swagger and that Danny has it! “Unbelievable!” Paula simply says Danny’s performance was “stellar”. Simon says Danny had a swagger and that he felt Danny “came out to prove a point” with a “superb arrangement”, and the performance was “outstanding”! To VOTE for Danny Gokey, phone 1-866-IDOLS-04 or 09 – OR Text “VOTE” to 5704 or 5709.

Last to sing tonight is ADAM LAMBERT singing “Feeling Good”. Adam Lambert in a white suit is HOT! Randy Jackson is sounding like a broken record, saying the performance was a little theatrical but spectacular. Kara says Adam is shocking and sleazy and way over the top but a great performance. Paula compares Adam Lambert to Michael Phelps. Simon Cowell says Adam obviously wants to win, and that it was a great performance. To VOTE for Adam Lambert, phone 1-866-IDOLS-05 or 10 – OR Text “VOTE” to 5705 or 5710.

Well, there you have it. Your TOP 5 Finalists Rat Pack song performances. Who will be voted off American Idol tomorrow night? Make your predictions in the comments below. Who are you voting for??? My prediction is that MATT GIRAUD will be voted off tomorrow night. What do you think?

American Idol 4/21/09 is here finally! The American Idol Top 7 sing DISCO tonight, and we’re here LIVE to watch the Idol performances and bring you the judges comments and VIDEO of the performances. There have been various “American Idol Spoilers” circulating the net about what songs each of the Top 7 will sing tonight, but there are also many trustworthy people saying the “spoilers” are fakes, and that’s why we’re not posting any spoilers unless we have every reason to believe they’re real.

***Keep watching this space for edited updates with VIDEO links of the American Idol Top 7 singing DISCO!***

It’s DISCO night on American Idol! “This is American Idol!” Ryan Seacrest reminds us that on tomorrow night’s Results show, TWO of the Idol TOP 7 will be voted off American Idol, so remember to VOTE!

Lil Rounds is first up singing “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan. Lil Rounds is doing a pretty good job with her performance tonight, but let’s see what the judges have to say. Randy Jackson says “it sounded so wild” and “didn’t really show us what kind of vocal control you can have”. Kara DioGuardi said “I’m not sure it was worth the wait” and Lil “still didn’t tell me who you are as an artist”. Paula Abdul says Lil was “hot tonight” but “didn’t make the boiling point”. Simon Cowell says he’s glad Lil had fun but thinks this week is Lil’s “final shot”. Wow, all four Idol judges weren’t at all pleased with Lil Rounds performance. I didn’t think it was THAT bad! To VOTE for Lil Rounds, phone 1-866-IDOLS-01 or text “VOTE” to 5701.

Kris Allen is next to perform and he’s singing “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer. Kris is playing the guitar, and Kris’ performance is quite a bit slower and more mellow than the version Donna Summer did during the Disco days. Kris definitely changed things up and made the song his own, but I don’t know if I like this one personally, but that’s only because I love me some Donna Summer. Kara DioGuardi says Kris “took a big risk but it paid of big time”. Paula Abdul says the performance had a “classy” style to it, also commenting on Kris’ outfit. Simon Cowell said “that was not karaoke”, “was original and a fantastic performance”. Randy Jackson says Kris is “ready for the big time”. To VOTE for Kris Allen, phone 1-866-IDOLS-02 or text “VOTE” to 5702.

Danny Gokiey takes the Idol stage singing “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire. Paula Abdul is dancing at her seat, and I can see why.

Danny is sounding pretty darn good tonight! Overall, I liked Danny’s performance. Randy Jackson says he was a bit worried but that Danny “really turned this to work it out for you”. Kara DioGuardi says Danny is an “incredible vocalist” and his “pitch is always on”. Paula Abdul says Danny “has one of the sexiest voices” and women of all ages will love Danny Gokey. Simon Cowell says he “didn’t get any star power” and that the performance overall “was a bit awkward and clumsy”. To VOTE for Danny Gokey, phone 1-866-IDOLS-03 or text “VOTE” to 5703.

Allison Iraheta is singing “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer. Allison is really rockin’ her performance tonight! Wow Allison! I am soooo going to download Allison’s performance!!! Randy Jackson says “it was a little over-indulgent” but that Allison is “one of the best singers” in the competition but didn’t really like the arrangement. Kara DioGuardi also didn’t like the arrangement, but agrees with Randy that her vocals were excellent. Paula Abdul says Allison “hit it out of the park” and Simon Cowell says it “was a brilliant performance”. The moment American Idol is over tonight, I’m downloading Hot Stuff immediately! That was Hot Stuff Allison! To VOTE for Allison Iraheta, phone 1-866-IDOLS-04 or text “VOTE” to 5704.

Adam Lambert is next up, singing “If I Can’t Have You” by the Bee Gees. Adam Lambert is simply spectacular tonight in my opinion, but the haters will say Adam was screaming and screeching. Whatever. Randy Jackson says “you are ready right now”, saying “he is a Hot One tonight America!” Kara DioGuardi says the way Adam connects with the audience is inspiring, and says the performance was spectacular. Paula Abdul appears choked up, with lips quivering and says “you will be in the finals”. Simon Cowell says “the vocals were immaculate”. Simon Cowell is clapping his hands for Adam’s performance! I am soooo downloading Adam’s performance tonight! That was HOT! To VOTE for Adam Lambert, phone 1-866-IDOLS-05 or text “VOTE” to 5705.

Next up is Matt Giraud singing “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees. I really like Matt Giraud and I enjoy listening to Matt sing, but I don’t care much when he attempts to sing too high for his vocal range ability, as he does in this performance. Randy Jackson didn’t like the song choice, didn’t like the arrangement but says “you can really sing dude”. Kara says the “vocals were pretty good”, a good/solid performance. Paula Abdul says after tonight’s performance, Matt “is staying”. Simon Cowell says the performance came across as “desperate”, with no originality and “not a huge fan of that one”. Uh-Oh Matt?! To VOTE for Matt Giraud, phone 1-866-IDOLS-06 or text “VOTE” to 5706.

Last to sing tonight is Anoop Desai singing “Dim All The Lights” by Donna Summer. Randy Jackson says that Anoop can sing too “nice, baby nice”. Kara DioGuardi says the song sounded like it could have been played on the radio. Paula says Anoop needs to smile more and enjoyed the uptempo part. Simon Cowell says “it was mediocre at best”, a “horrible version of that song”, “genuinely your worst performance”. Uh Oh Anoop! I didn’t like that one at all! To VOTE for Anoop Desai, phone 1-866-IDOLS-07 or text “VOTE” to 5707.

Bottom 3 Predictions:

• Lil Rounds

This is American Idol 4/15/09! We’re LIVE with the American Idol Top 7 Results Show to see Who got voted off American Idol tonight?! Last night on American Idol the Top 7 Finalists sang songs of the cinema, and if the “Dial Idol” predictions are correct of who will be voted off American Idol, there could be a major upset on tonight’s results show! Miley Cyrus (pre-taped) is scheduled to perform her new song “Climb” tonight, and GRAMMY award winner Jennifer Hudson (American Idol Season 3 Finalist) will be performing “If This Isn’t Love” on the American Idol Results Show tonight!

***Keep watching this space for VIDEO links of tonight’s results show performances, so you can watch the American Idol results show videos in case you missed it or just want to watch the performances again.*** Who Got Voted Off American Idol? Who is Safe to continue on to perform in next week’s American Idol Disco theme, making up your Top 6 American Idol Finalists?! We’re about to find out! “This is American Idol!”

The Results Are In!!! Will the Idol judges use their veto “save” vote tonight, and save the Idol contestant with the lowest number of votes from elimination?!

American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, introduces the Top 7 to the stage. “Will your favorite be eliminated tonight”? says Ryan. All four judges are introduced as usual.

Next is the American Idol Ford Video performance, showing the Top 7 on magazine covers singing “Freeze Frame“.

The Top 7 Idol Finalists are singing the group performance song “Maniac“. Sounding really good! Danny Gokey has the glasses back on tonight, and each of the finalists are doing a great job singing Maniac! Hitting the high notes perfectly and keeping up a great rhythm throughout the group performance. Great job!

Quentin Tarrantino was last night’s ‘mentor’ for the Top 7, and Ryan talks to the finalists about that and shows video of when the finalists went to the Movie Premiere of “17 Again”, coming out this Friday. It’s an interesting video clip, but seems to be taking up too much time tonight. Let’s get to the results already! Zac Efron is in the audience too.

Jennifer Hudson takes the stage singing “If This Isn’t Love” and OH MY GOD Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer! What a beautiful song, and what vocal pipes Jennifer has on her! Great job Jennifer!

I am soooo going to download If This Isn’t Love!!! Great job Jennifer! Amazing! Recently engaged to get married, Ryan Seacrest jokingly tries to get Jennifer to say the wedding date of her upcoming nuptials, but of course Jennifer isn’t going to do that for privacy reasons.

Bottom Three American Idol Performers:

• Anoop Desai – Nooo! He did a good job last night!
• Lil Rounds – Predictable for sure!
• Matt Giraud – Sad but predictable

Anoop Desai was then told he could go sit on the couch with the other finalists, so Anoop is Safe!

Matt Giraud and Lil Round in the Bottom 2 Video!

Miley Cyrus is singing her new song “Climb” in a pre-taped Idol performance. Miley Cyrus is definitely coming into her own as she gets older and develops stronger vocals. She sounds really good. I’m not liking her hairstyle tonight at all…, her hair is hanging in her eyes and looking very messy! What’s up with the hair Miley?! All in all, Miley’s performance was spectacular, minus the crazy wild hair.

So, who got voted off American Idol tonight? ….. With over 36 million votes……Matt Giraud had the lowest number of votes and was voted off from American Idol Season 8 tonight. Will the Judges use their veto SAVE vote to save Matt? OH MY GOD! Matt is having to endure that horrible feeling of singing “To Really Love a Woman” one more time in hopes of being saved tonight. I hate this part! It’s like begging for your life!

Simon Cowell says Matt wasn’t as good tonight as he was last night.  Whooohooooo! Matt Giraud was SAVED BY THE JUDGES TONIGHT ON AMERICAN IDOL! Wow!!! NO ONE GOES HOME TONIGHT!!!!

Simon Cowell says next week TWO CONTESTANTS WILL BE VOTED OFF!!! Oh NOOO!

Breakdown list of the guys and girls who are safe:

• Anoop Desai
• Lil Rounds
• Danny Gokey
• Adam Lambert
• Allison Iraheta
• Kris Allen
• Matt Giraud

American Idol 4-21-09 Theme Next Week Spoiler! The American Idol Top 6 Finalists theme next week is DISCO!, according to Idol judge Paula Abdul, whose theme spoiler comes even before tonight’s elimination vote.

During her weekly interview with John Jay and Rich from the Phoenix KISS radio station, Paula Abdul says next week’s theme is Disco! Paula also said that she’ll be choreographing the American Idol Group Performance next week, so hopefully we won’t all be bored to tears watching the Top 6 fumble during those ridiculous group performances. Ugh!

Paula didn’t name a “mentor” for next week’s Idol Disco night, even saying she doesn’t think there will be a “mentor” next week.

Paula also mentioned being concerned about Matt Giraud and Lil Rounds, as possibly being in trouble of elimination after last night’s Songs of the Cinema performances. Paula said Matt Giraud nailed his song during the rehearsals.

Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell have both said they hated not being able to comment on each Idol performance last night. Paula told John Jay and Rich that she didn’t know about the “two judge” rule until show time. The “two judge” commenting was first going to be split by gender, but everything was changed up at the last minute just before Idol started.

According to Dial Idol predictions (dialidol.com), both Matt Giraud and Kris Allen being in the Bottom 3 tonight, along with Allison Iraheta! The odds at this point, just a few hours before tonight’s “who got voted off American Idol?” results show, are that either Matt Giraud or Kris Allen will be voted off tonight.

Who do you think will be voted off tonight? Who do you think SHOULD be voted off?

With next week’s American Idol theme being Disco, what are your song predictions for your favorite Top 6 American Idols to sing next week?
