that is because DWTS is much more entertaining than IDOL anymore.
WOOT!!!!!!! Really? Are they going to perform or is it some connection to the beg-a-thon?
Looking forward to tonight. I guess I’m in the minority on this, but I had as much fun this year as I always did in years past. And if Jordin wins tonight, which I pray she will, I’m 3 for 3!!
As I’ve told you before, without this thread, I would have never even watched AI. Thanks for such a fun place to relax.
See ya later...
Doesn't seem right that he should get to do a duet and Lakisha not.
Music mogul Simon Cowell has stunned American Idol fans by revealing he’s quitting the show in three years time.
The show’s Mr. Nasty insists he won’t be signing up for more episodes of the talent show after completing the 10th season of the TV phenomenon.
He tells U.S. news show Extra, “I’ll have done 10 series and your time’s up.
It’s time then to do something new. I think it’s time to bring in new people...
Ten years is a long time.”
And, as for who he’d pick to replace him on the show, Cowell has one name in mind: “Donald Trump”.
Probably new viewers and yeah, DWTS was better than AI this year, though its a tie for which show drags out the finale more.
If they are on, I would think it would be to perform. The begathon is over for this year.
Any rumors about Kat McPhee being on the show tonight? I found this photo of her from the Maroon 5 album release party...
I just thought I'd ask since BJA was Bono's shadow for a little while.(They remade "The Saints Are Coming" together several months ago)
SPOILER!!!!!!!

:(, though I can’t say I’m shocked by the outcome.
The last paragraph in the first post, if this is real.
OTOH, what happened to Chris Richardson is pretty funny, and his reaction funnier yet.
Lewis and Clarkson: Who Will and WON'T Perform Tonight
Kelly Clarkson may be feuding with her label head Clive Davis, but she's got nothing but love for "American Idol."
TMZ has learned that Kelly -- and all winners from seasons past, except Fantasia -- will be back performing on the "American Idol" stage for tonight's finale.
Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks are headed to the Kodak Theater, but Fantasia Barrino won't be, since she is headlining Oprah Winfrey's production of "The Color Purple" on Broadway.
Sources tell TMZ Gladys Knight will perform "Midnight Train to Georgia" with the top six female finalists, while Smokey Robinson will join the top six male finalists for a rendition of "Ooh Baby Baby." Most recently booted finalist Melinda Doolittle will sing with brother and sister gospel duo BeBe and CeCe Winans, while the hairiffic Sanjaya duets with Aerosmith's Joe Perry to the Kinks' "You Really Got Me." It's sure to be an unbeweavable night!
Beat-boxing finalist Blake Lewis will show off his mad skillz against rapper Doug E. Fresh, and then duet with fellow finalist and probable winner, Jordin Sparks, to the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There." Since producers were able to finally get clearance to use Beatles music, a medley of Fab Four hits will be performed as well.
Luckily, we're told no one is expected to be exhumed a la Elvis on tonight's finale!
UPDATE: A well-placed source tells TMZ that anti-establishment rockers Green Day sold out and will be on the "American Idiot" "Idol" finale too!
I’m not a member...what does it say?
LOL!!! John Lydon has always said that Green Day is not a "true punk" band. Proves his point I suppose...
I'm guessing they will be playing Working Class Hero which is what they recorded for the new "Save Darfur" album of John Lennon covers.
I didn’t even think about it that most FReepers aren’t IDFers. LOL

Below is a cut-and-paste of ChiTown’s Breakfast report. This is just the way he emailed it to me, punctuation, grammar and all. I’m not changing commas, periods or anything, I’m not Chi’s editor. I am just the messenger, so just read and enjoy it as fact or fiction (although I have collected every one he has ever done and they are all very telling and accurate). Chi is ticked off at the AI boards and won’t be posting it there.
Shotgun Edition ***MAJOR SPOILER REGARDING OUTCOME*** CONTAINED, IF YOU DON‚T WANT TO KNOW THE OUTCOME, SKIP BLAKES BREAKFAST INFO, and everything after Stephanie:
Location: The crew loaded up in Expeditions this morning and went one final time to the Beverly Hills Wilshire (the kids voted on it). It was the final ten, and Stephanie Edwards, who has been hanging around that crowd more than any other voted off participant in the history of the entire show. She is looking to settle down there and launch her career immediately:
Attire: They were all in business casual. Women in summer dresses, men in collared shirts. All were in a great mood, and a lot more talkative. For them, it‚s over. The conversation was pretty boring (the final 12 all have to be tour ready, which is something new. There will be alternates filling in should any of the ten have an unforeseen event).
Blake
Ate: A latte. He hated his one and only cup of coffee, wanted something new. Didn‚t like it. Also got French toast with powder cooked on heavy yeasted French bread. Sausage patties.
Signature clothing: A new watch and a his top button on his shirt was buttoned.
Of note: He said that in the 8th grade he was second in the race for class President and that‚s his life story.
Chris R.
Ate: Two eggs cooked to order with Grits, gravy biscuits, and turkey sausage links! Coffee with sugar and cream.
Signature clothing: A sweater vest over his collared shirt.
Of note: A 45 year old blonde bombshell slipped him some undies with lipstick in his lap while he was eating. He quit eating after that.
Chris S.
Ate: What didn‚t he eat is the better question. Biscuits and gravy, waffles, scrambled eggs, salmon, bacon, and sausage links. A glass of milk.
Signature clothing: His shirt was not tucked in. Didn‚t fit well either.
Of note: Had a waitress in tears laughing. He wouldn‚t stop telling jokes.
Gina
Ate: A Mediterranean omelet, a cup of coffee and white toast.
Signature clothing: A sliver necklace with a dagger at the end of it. Black pumps.
Of note: She is auditioning for a cameo in a popular west coast soap opera tomorrow.
Haley
Ate: Stack of buttermilk pancakes and kielbasa links.
Signature clothing: A shocking pink strapless empire baby doll mini-dress with a pink layered necklace. Pink lipstick too.
Of note: She had a mosquito bite on the outside left thigh, just under the site of the skirt
Jordin
Ate: Cinnamon Oatmeal, a Cinnamon roll, and orange juice.
Signature clothing: Nice ankle up, but flip flops were pink. $4.99 at Walgreens as Chris S. blurted out.
Of note: She got a 3.6 last semester.
Kiki
Ate: Biscuits, Lox, and bagels. Grits, Hot chocolate.
Signature clothing: A French manicure, and strappy-black three inch heels with diamonds.
Of note: She had child in tote today! Baby was a huge hit J
Melinda
Ate: An egg white omelet with sliced green peppers and tomatoes. 100% whole grain Toast.
Signature clothing: Wedge peep toes, classy red skirt
Of note: As classy as ever. She talked with more hotel patrons than ANY of the rest.
Phil
Ate: 2 POTS of Coffee, Homemade Buttermilk biscuits with real preserves and a Hashbrown casserole. A plate of pineapples with a milky strawberry topping.
Signature clothing: His clothes look better pressed than any of them.
Of note: His allergies were bothering him because they ate outdoors.
Sanjaya:
Ate: A fruit plate with starwberries, organs, apples, melons, and granola sprinkled on the top. A glass of tap water which he said didn‚t taste right so he re-ordered a diet coke.
Signature clothing: Hair slicked back in a classic pony tail. Sunglasses as big as his face!
Of note: Took about 18 photos with Playboy bunnies.
Stephanie:
Ate: She didn‚t, as she was just kind of tagging along anyway. She grabbed a breakfast burrito, but was talking so much she had two bites at the most.
Signature clothing: An embellished tent dress.
Of note: She has a new boyfriend, who played on Moesha.
In closing, the candidates found out at 8:07 AM PST that Jordin won. There was some guy named Simon Fuller who allegedly is a key guy on the Idols staff told Stephanie by mistake actually. Word spread quickly. Also found out that many were expecting the Fantasia dominance (voting-wise), but that didn‚t quite happen. There was no press allowed this time, so as far as they know, none of this stuff is public knowledge.
I have never heard that, but I agree with him. Anything that a bunch of preppy college kids blare at frat parties is not real punk.
They should get him to replace Simon after season 10. He's English and says/does crazy things.
Sanjaya, tap water is for "them." You're a celebrity. You drink bottles of "Spa" imported from Belgium.
