As Simon Cowell announced at the conclusion of Wednesday (April 29) night’s “American Idol,” next week’s theme is Rock. The show has lined up some appropriate guests to match.
In addition to guitar legend Slash, who will serve as mentor to Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen, next Wednesday (May 6) will feature the return of the most successful “American Idol” rocker to date.
Daughtry will take the stage to perform “No Surprise,” the first single off their album. Chris Daughtry was the fourth place finisher on the fifth season of “American Idol.” The self-titled debut by his self-titled band went quadruple-platinum and was nominated for multiple Grammys.
In addition to Daughtry, the Wednesday episode will also include a performance by No Doubt, who will be reuniting for a summer tour, prepping for the 2010 release of their next album.
Y’all BIG NEWS: The contestants will sing DUETS next week!!!!
Bill: no comment. Too tired to read your criticism of HNN. He’s got enough to think about now.
Flat Stanley says for vote Adam!
I sure hope you’re kidding…Adam’s been performing since he was 10 years old, maybe he knows a bit about what he’s doing vocally. Just a thought.
Duets! Duets! Duets! I think this is SO exciting!! Now, I am assuming (gawd hate that word right now) both the single and the duet will be from the rock theme??
How many hours until Tuesday? Are we there yet?
I know lots of people are thinking that duets will be cool, but for me it stinks that TPTB can’t get their shit together with judges mentors and ads to fit what would amount to 16 MINUTES of singing performances into an hour. So instead they do duets – oh how great, but in reality is so they only have to fit in 12 minutes of singing (6 performances of 2 minutes each).
Bully for them they get to have another ad break. Sucks for us we don’t get two performances per usual.
Ok grumpy and tired – should go to bed before I spoil everyones fun.
Let Adam be Adam.
Yes, you are all correct. Adams’ strategy is perfection. That’s why he was in the bottom 2. Also, his fans behaved perfectly, that’s why Adam was in the bottom 2. If Adam does everything just as perfectly next week, he will go home – hooray!
American Idol is like politics. Before you get the power, you have to first win. If Adam wants to win, he needs to consolidate the middle. He already owns his fanbase – they will love anything he does. He needs to capture those new voters than only watch once we get down to the end and only vote a few times. If he loses those to Gokey/Kris/Allison, his season is over.
Now Adam can go for the pure artistry thing and lose, or he can be commercial, and win.
If he is smart he will win first, then once he has been crowned, bring out the artistry. As Simon said early in the season, AMERICAN IDOL IS NOT ABOUT ARTISTRY. He is right, it’s not. I think after 8 seasons, Simon knows of what he speaks.
As far as FB is concerned, even Adam himself (according to Matt) said he didn’t like his performance. So he and I agree. It doesn’t matter if Adam’s diehard fans loved it – they are biased. What matters is did average Joes with no bias for or against Adam love it? Apparently not since he was bottom 2.
If we get another ROF or BF style performance on Tuesday, Adam’s journey on idol is over.
P.S., With regards to the “Let Adam be Adam” comment. That’s just my point. Adam’s isn’t being Adam, Adam is being what he imagines a rock star should be. That is why so many people struggle with his image, because it isn’t altogether honest based upon what we have seen of Adam in the past. He seems “theatrical” because he is “acting”.
So, who is the real Adam? I would say that the PTFM Adam is pretty close to his core. He looks the most at ease in that performance of anything. The suit and tie is too conservative and the pure emo is too emo.
I tend to agree with what Bill wants from Adam. I fell in love with his pre-Idol performances before he even appeared on the show. I also think with one or two performances like that he would pick up tons of new voters. However – I also love his Idol performances. Every single one. And I recall him saying in some interview “I’ve been doing this a long time. I know what I’m doing.” So I’m going to trust his judgment.
BTW – Start voting a few minutes BEFORE the show ends. You can get in a few extra votes this way!
If you need a feel good moment for today, watch this, it will be a smile on your face

The only rock ‘duet’ I can hear in my head that doesn’t remidn me of that auful ‘Justin Meets kelly’ musical soundtrack is:
Adam & Allison
MeatLoaf(with marion Raven)…singing It’s All Coming Back to Me Now
It’s powerful and angry and tender all wrapped up in one. And both signers get to really belt it out.
Plus it is already a ‘theatrical’ type song.
If Danny gets Adam, I’m not sure I can take it.
I think Kris/Danny and Adam/Allison would be cool, to be honest, though I would rather not have duets at all. Adam and Allison could really rock out.
That said, I agree with Bridgey: It’s to save time and it’s gimmicky. This is NOT a show about duets, or fronting a bad, it’s about being a soloist, and when you get down to Top 4, THAT is what I want to see.
But think of the possibility of an Adam/Allison duet: You could go the Leather and Lace route (not rocky enough, though)…You could definitely go Meatloaf…I need to think of others.
PLEASE DO NOT HAVE IT BE DANNY AND ADAM. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
(But watch it happen as a prelude to the finale, and they it ends up Kris and Allison instead…*sigh*)
Can I start voting now?
No, Sue. Then people will have to see who is he better performer/singer
Oooohhh, here’s a thought. Strangely appropriate in my mind anyway.
How about a ‘duet’ between Slash & Adam…Slash plays while Adam sings…I like that scenario…plus Slash would feel right at home if Adam sang a GnR’s tune…sigh.
Let the other 3 draw straws…lol
Just kidding. I really do not want to see or hear any duets, I want to see each person sing their heart out, 1 at a time. It’s the fair thing to do.
Rock is the next idol theme which will be graced by some superstar guests like the guitar legend Slash, Daughtry and a performance by No Doubt!! Its going to be hot!!
Cant wait for this week!
especially for daughtry to perform
This week should be amazing.
