:: The Top 11 perform #1 Billboard hits tonight, with Miley Cyrus as the guest mentor. So expect all 11 contestants to be pole dancing tonight followed by exposing their backs for inappropriate magazine spreads. [Idol Chatter]
:: Lilly Scott reportedly wanted to cover Radiohead’s “Nude” for weeks before she was voted off, but Idol producers wouldn’t even try to clear it for her because they said it was “not a very common song.” Is this the reason we keep hearing the same songs over and over on the Idol stage?

After seeing Adam Lambert last season, American Idol should allow these young stars to sing anything they like. i wouldn't mind a little more rock & roll instead of all ways pop songs.
AI producers wouldn't know a good song choice if it bit them in the backside. They are so tangled in their schemes they have destroyed the show. The judges read their scripted comments, then add their own remarks. It's like they saw two different performances-of course the contestants are confused-so is their dwindling audience.
