AMERICAN IDOL - THE FINAL SEASON

EEEEK!!!!!!!!!

I just want to Amazon and I was able to buy Mac's song!!!!!!!  LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! 

While I was there I was also able to buy two of his original songs from his earlier EP (sadly not Roses which he will be able to release if he makes top 3) and ALL of his songs from The Voice!! 

I am a happy Mac Packer right now!!!!!!!!!

Off to see about Trent's song!!

OK - just bought Trent's too!  He is going to rock it!!  That is the only song Trent has to purchase.

Dalton has Stop and the Beach Boy's song.  He sounds very nice.  The sample sounds just like the original.  But it is only 30 seconds so maybe he does switch it up.  Guess we will not know until tonight. 

I didn't buy it as I am not a huge fan of the song and we have it already by The Beach Boys and Olivia Newton John.

If it turns out he switches it up and I like it I will buy it.

I am not even going to listen to either of the girl's songs.  I am sure they are well done though.  Just not interested.

Well, I just read at IDF that Scott said whoever leaves this week doesn't get to sing either song.... 

That is so crappy!!!  So I guess whoever goes out goes out early on.  So they work so hard on their songs and dress rehearsal how hard would it be to let them all sing the first song and then cut the one going home so at least they get to perform one of the songs they worked hard on.  That just stinks.  I will never forgive for what they did to poor Jax last season. 

Don't know who made this decision, but shame on them.

Yes it sucks.........but selfishly I'm glad we get the announcement early in the show and don't have to wait.

Yes, unless it is Mac..... 

I think it will be Sonika, but if not it will be Mac....  So I will be so bummed if he doesn't get to sing either of his songs...

This week is nerve wrecking but next week will be even worse!!  Glad I got these anxiety pills.

The one booted out doesn't get to sing at all.

Nope!!  I think that is just cruel!!

No time I guess since they decided to add David Cook as the mystery guest along with Kat McPhee.  I suppose Sia will sing too.  So they heck with the poor kid going home.... 

Please oh please Dalton and Mac must be safe.

It better not be either of them!!!     

It has to be Sonika     (nothing against the poor kid she is lovely I just don't want any of the guys to go and unfortunately I don't think LaP is going home at all)

This is just such a tough cut because of the home town visit we want our guys to get so badly.

You know, has anyone heard any talk of a tour????

Dalton was asked in his FB chat the other day....now he could just have said he knows nothing because they're not to say anything but he did say that nobody has told them anything about one. If they do maybe they'd do just a Top 3 tour. They used to do that with Canadian Idol.

American Idol OFFICIALLY announces the American Idols who will appear on the April 7 finale. Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson will BOTH perform. Kelly, on the verge of delivering a baby son in a few weeks, won’t be there in person. But she did pre-tape a highly emotional medley of all her greatest hits a few weeks ago when she appeared on Idol as guest judge.

Carrie will be there live, as will a slew of Idol alum including “all-star performances” by Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery, Candice Glover, Caleb Johnson, Nick Fradiani, Ace Young, Allison Iraheta, Amber Holcomb, Blake Lewis, Bo Bice, Brandon Rogers, Bucky Covington, Carly Smithson, Casey James, Chris Daughtry, Clark Beckham, Clay Aiken, Colton Dixon, Constantine Maroulis, Danny Gokey, Diana DeGarmo, Elliott Yamin, George Huff, James Durbin, Jessica Sanchez, Josh Gracin, Joshua Ledet, Justin Guarini, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Kimberley Locke, Kree Harrison, LaToya London, Lauren Alaina, Melinda Doolittle, Pia Toscano, Sanjaya, Skylar Laine, Tamyra Gray and more, before host Ryan Seacrest announces the results of America’s votes and the final Idol winner is crowned.

Every winner will be represented, except for Phillip Phillips who took legal action against 19 Entertainment to void his contract with the company. Sanjaya will be in the house! No David Archuleta. Crystal Bowersox is booked for a gig in Vermont that night, so she’s not available. Adam Lambert will likely be in Canada that week shooting Rocky Horror. They’re letting Clay Aiken back in the house after his nasty tweet-fest. Jax won’t be in the house. She’s signaled that she’s done with Idol, and maybe they’re done with her.

The three-night Grand Finale week kicks off on Tuesday, April 5 (8:00-9:30 PM ET/PT), with American Idol: American Dream. The can’t-miss, 90-minute retrospective will feature host Ryan Seacrest, current and former judges, former Idols and contestants and the behind-the-scenes team sharing their personal Idol memories, as they reflect on what the show has meant to them and how it became the groundbreaking series that it is today. In addition to Seacrest, original Idol judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson offer never-before-revealed stories about how Idol came to be. This is a very special, inside look at the journey that IDOL has taken viewers on during its 15-season run.


The following night, America’s most crucial – and last-ever – vote will take place when the remaining finalists battle it out live from Dolby Theatre on Wednesday, April 6 (8:00-9:00 PM live ET/tape-delayed PT). American Idol’s two-part Grand Finale will be filled with surprise appearances and star-studded performances on Thursday, April 7 (8:00-10:06 PM live ET/tape-delayed PT). The farewell celebration will continue, as Idol pays tribute to the past 15 seasons, the amazingly talented contestants and the millions of fans who called, tweeted, texted and championed their Idols, before the 15th and final American Idol is crowned.

Sounds awesome! Won't miss a minute of it!

Yes it does sound awesome. I can only hope it actually is as awesome as it sounds.

I think Angel, will be very happy to see a few particular names on that list. I know there are a few more not listed that she and I would both like to see too. Hopefully they fall under the "more" category as of the moment.

The ones not listed that I'd like to see are David Archuleta, Brooke White, Anthony Fedorov, Hollie, Anoop, Matt, Jason and a couple others.

Jason and Archie for sure. Many probably just can't swing it.

So bummed about Phillip.  Would love for him to be there.

I want Jason to be there.

Gosh he was more popular and remains more successful than many of those who will appear.

It sucks about Phillip but understandable with the situation. He probably doesn't want to be there any more than they want him there. I am SHOCKED that Clay will be there. Hope they put duct tape over his mouth.

OMG will it be 8:00 already.

I hope one of the judges smacks Clay

I just watched Mac's Facebook live chat and he has a bad cold.  Sniffing a lot and coughing.  Hopefully he will be OK tonight

I get why Phillip won't be there but I still really really wish he was going to be there.  He is one of their more successful winners for sure.  Kinda wish they both could just put it aside for one night, but not meant to be...

Excited about so many others being there though.

Unlike you Canear I am not wishing for time to go fast....  I am so dang scared for Mac.  I think the other guys are safe though.

I'm just tired of having this knot in my stomach. Hopefully I can eat my dinner.

Poor Mac I don't wish that cold on anyone.

Dalton did a FB chat as well. He was acting, well, weird. I think they are all beyond exhausted.

I am not surprised he is acting weird.  The tension is making us sick to our stomachs so I cannot imagine them dealing with is AND they have to worry about performing and next week if they get through and UGH!!  I could never deal with the pressure!

I was able to eat however - I made a pizza for Eric and I of flatbread, roasted veggies and goat cheese!!  It was awesome!!!  I may throw it up at 7:00 though

I don't know how they do it............and add into it the hometown visits this weekend on top of it all. They won't mind those I'm sure. They will rejuvenate them for the last couple of weeks.

I'm just having some meatballs and rice.

Poor Mac not a good time to be sick. 

They are running these kids raggid. 

Haven't seen Daltons FB chat. But he does look very thin  and exhausted.

I am recording it on my DVR along with Grey's (now that I know you can record two things at a time)

I am just like too afraid to watch in RL....  I mean I want too, and yet I am afraid too 

My damn power just went off so I'm on my phone. I will need to save battery so I'll be in and out. Details please since I can't even record.

Oh man I am so sorry canear

Bummer. ...

LaP is safe and I hated it.
