This thread will contain real time SPOILERS! If you don't want to know what happens please read the thread after the show premiers in your area. All discussion related to the show should be contained in this thread so as not to ruin surprises for the different time zones.

The parties will start when the show starts at 8:00 PM Eastern time.

1: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You are allowed to discuss opinions in a reasonable manner but you can not attack someone if they like or dislike a particular contestant.  Please respect your fellow posters.

2: There will be no personal bashing of any contestant. You can say you don't like the contestant for their performances or because you just don't like their personality but please do not personally attack the person. No name calling will be tolerated.

3: Please do not post pictures in the thread.  Some people still have dial up and the speed of the thread is impacted with the number of pictures posted. In other words, it takes a long time for their thread to load.

4: People come back and read the thread after the show is over, we're going to try to do our best this year to note who is singing and what for each show. When referring to a contestant, if possible, please use their names so we know exactly which contestant you are referring too.

5: Remember our Claymaniac friends on the West Coast and don't post AI information in community threads. Keep discussion and spoilers here.

6: Also asking you not to post Dial Idol results. Many people don't want to know who may or may not be voted off until the show airs.

***THEME FOR THE WEEK: ROCK AND ROLL***


Legendary guitarist Slash of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver fame will be appearing as a mentor. Slash has sold 100 million albums and earned seven Grammy nods for his various projects.  Not sure how he'll do as I've never even heard him speak shrug

Slash tweets about mentoring the ‘Idols’
Those ‘AI’ kids can sing their a--es off, especially Adam,’ he wrote
   Access Hollywood

updated 7:25 p.m. ET, Mon., May 4, 2009

For weeks, thousands of fans around the country watching Adam Lambert on “American Idol” have been reminded of Axl Rose. And while Rose may not be appearing on the show, his former Guns N’ Roses bandmate, Slash, is, and the guitarist has given Lambert the thumbs up.

“Those ‘AI’ kids can sing their a--es off, especially Adam,” Slash, who is mentoring “Idol’s” contestants on rock week, wrote in a post on his Twitter page over the weekend.

While he didn’t offer any hints about the material the final four — Lambert, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta — will be singing, Slash said he approves of their yet unnamed song choices.

“The contestants from ‘AI’ picked some really cool songs for next week, thank God!” Slash tweeted.

Late last week, Slash confirmed he had been asked to mentor the four finalists, and he accepted the gig on his own terms.

“As you may or may not know, the producers for ‘American Idol’ have asked me to be the mentor for ‘Rock Week’ next week. I was reluctant at (first), but they offered me the freedom to do it however I wanted,” he wrote on his official MySpace page.

Slash, who is known for his guitar playing more than his vocal chords, said he took on the mentor job in a way the show has never seen before.

“The approach I’m taking is different than usual on the show, and I’m going to make this as rock 'n roll an ‘American Idol’ as possible,” he wrote. “Wish me luck.”

Slash, who has worked with many of the rock world’s vocalists, said he was digging what’s been coming out of the final four.

“There are a few singers this year who are really impressive,” he wrote. “It’s the first time any ‘AI’ line-up has really caught my attention.”

***SHOWTIME***

some news...

There was an accident before the dress rehearsal. One of the towers on the stage began to collapse. Therefore there was NO dress rehearsal for any of the contestants. They have not had a complete run through so it should be interesting.

also...the contestants will be performing duets. Not sure how that helps scratch but okay.

Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin

Adam can definitely do "rocker" very well.  Song wasn't a fave but Adam performed well.


Randy - bunch of yo's; this is the Adam I love; nobody's thinking Broadway, you're a rock star; that was hot

Kara -more than a rock star, you're a rock god; you should make a classic & glam rock album

Paula -how can you improve a Zeppelin song? You're a whole lotta perfect

Simon - performance was a little understated..teeaassing; one of my fave performances you've ever done; problem is nobody can top that now

I've had a craptastic day and I'm totally scatterbrained. If I miss something or screw it up a thousand apologies and please forgive me and if you could pick up my slack. I'd appreciate it!

Sounds like the judges are trying to make sure Adam doesn't get voted low again this week.

Allison Iraheta - Cry Baby - Janis Joplin


Allison went to Adam's "hairgirl" to get her hair done for this week. I think that's hilarious!
Perfect song choice for Allison this week!



Randy - check it; you can sing your face off; you can sing anything but I didn't love it; not a great vehicle for you

Kara - Janis is the right choice for you but a different song with melody change-ups; you transform when you go on stage so I see your personality;

Paula -you're fearless

Simon -difference in the past 8 weeks; thought you had complete confidence; tried too hard to be like the original so I couldn't hear you; I would have chosen a Queen song for you
