Who Fits The "American Idol" Definition Of "The Biggest Star In The World"?

MJ's Big Blog has a slew of spoilers for this week's pair of American Idol finale episodes, including word that David Archuleta is going to reprise his blasphemy-excised version of "Imagine" and the news that Paula Abdul is going to sing a song from her new album, too. And the Jonas Brothers will be appearing, because the ratings really need the help! And OneRepublic will drop by, too, because... well, I'm still trying to figure that one out. But that puzzle will have to go on the back burner because Nigel Lythgoe told an interviewer today that "the biggest star in the world" would show up at the finale; given the, ahem, skewed nature of the Idol universe figuring out just who that shining example of fame could be, well, anyone who's been touched by the hand of Clive. So let's send it to the poll software!

It's going to be Dead Elvis, isn't it? Sigh.

I bet it's Dead Elvis, although some have speculated that it could be singing with the Beatles- all four of 'em. Frankly, I'd enjoy seeing the contestants singing with each other instead of some creepy-ass hologram.

How long have they been hawking the king of pop?

I expect MJ. And I expect Archuletta to end up crying in the fetal position by the time Michael is done with him.

It pretty much has to be Madonna.

@Marth: Ditto. She probably signed on after seeing the second-week drop on Hard Candy.

@Sniffle: With Archuleta AND the Jonas Brothers there...I expect they have set up a security detail to specifically keep Mr. Jackson OUT.

Wait, David Archuleta isn't the biggest star in the world? How could my 70-year-old grandmother/12-year-old niece be wrong?
