Elliott Yamin, the form American Idol contestant from the show’s fifth season, returns to Idol tonight for an “Idol Gives Back” segment with judge Kara DioGuardi. ......... then being temporarily trapped in Chile after the country’s devastating earthquake in February, after which he became a de facto news correspondent for American television news networks who didn’t have their own people on the ground.

Elliott was trapped in Chile after their earthquake...if he was in Haiti too then he's got some big bad luck karma thing going! lol

Have we had a week of “Inspirational” songs before? I don’t remember it and don’t quite know what qualifies.

I was hoping Lee would finally have a chance to do The Boss: “Born in the USA”. But, dangit, it’s not on the list.

“Amazing Grace” IS on the list...how much you wanna bet Mike chooses it? If so, I think he’ll go home.

American Idol 2010 - Producers Want Paula Abdul Back?!

http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978175185

That is the word out of the American Idol camp this morning everyone! The producers are trying to woo Paula Abdul back into a judges’ chair on American Idol. They just aren’t sure she will be willing to do it! I’m not sure she will be willing to do it.

The producers have just seen a dive in ratings, and it is believed that her departure from the series is part of the reason why. Fans of American Idol tuned in to see Simon and Paula interact each week. Their antics are what made the show!

We all know Simon is leaving at the end of this season. Rumors are that Paula will appear with him on X-Factor when that hits the US in 2011, but can she be wooed back to American Idol? Someone from inside Idol had this to say about the producers wanting Paula back on the show: “They want Paula back. They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her.”

What do you think? Should Paula come back to American Idol? I’ll admit she was a big part of the reason why I watched the show myself. It really isn’t the same without her. Rumors about next year being the last season of American Idol are also going around. Are we nearing the end?
