When American Idol's Nigel Lythgoe was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight they asked him if he listened to Taylor Hicks and his answer had me ROTFL!
ET: Do you like his album?
NIGEL: I haven't heard it, to be honest.
ET: Is that unusual? Have you heard all the other "Idol" albums?
NIGEL: No. KELLY CLARKSON's I heard. CARRIE UNDERWOOD's. I haven't heard FANTASIA's, RUBEN's or Taylor's. I haven't heard an awful lot of the other releases. It is not my type of music, to be frank with you. I like more middle-of-the-road stuff. When they leave us, they go to different genres. I like country, which is why I played Carrie. I wanted to see where Kelly was going because she was our first Idol. I have very little time to listen to outside music. I am constantly listening to the music that we are doing that week, and trying to get everything downloaded to give the kids as wide a choice as I can.
Well when I was searching for the album cover image to put with this post, I finally heard a song off the album. And I have to admit it was much worse than I thought. So Nigel if you have the chance to listen to it, skip it.
MJ's American Idol has listed what might be tomorrow's song list tomorrow on American Idol 6. They also have a clarification what pop songs might mean, it means songs that inspired Gwen Stefani. Which I personally think is a stupid theme, but what do I know I am just the viewer suffering through the show. Here is the list:
Blake Lewis – “Love Song” by the Cure Chris Richardson – “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt Chris Sligh – “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by the Police Gina Glocksen – Pretenders ballad Haley Scarnato – “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper Jordin Sparks – “Hey Baby” by No Doubt Lakisha Jones – Donna Summers song Melinda Doolittle – Donna Summers song Phil Stacey – “Every Breath You Take” by the Police Sanjaya Malakar – “Bathwater” by No Doubt
There is a rumor on MJ's that Lakisha and Melinda are sing the same song. Now that would be hot because you know these two are sharing votes and this could separate their voters. And did they only have a few artists to choose from, what is with all The Police and Donna Summers. I mean the No Doubt is brown nosing.

OK! So this wasn’t the spoof wasn’t that funny, but just wanted to post this because last year Saturday Night Live made fun of Taylor Hicks and he won American Idol…so just got me wondering if history will repeat itself and Sanjaya Malakar will win American Idol? Things that make you go hmmm….
Fox confirms that next week Gwen Stefani will be the vocal coach on American Idol for the concert touring 10. They also announced that she will be coaching them on Pop songs. Not sure what that means and if it songs are from certain decade, but they will be singing pop songs. Sanjaya Malakar should have another good week with that theme, and you know that is making VFTW happy and that girl starving for his dismissal very hungry. Could be a good night if they choose the right songs, and this week was not that bad.
Now when it comes to Stephanie Edwards I don't know why everyone is saying it was a shock cut. Her voice was good, but she did not really have a strong memorable stage presence. And if we can't remember her, how can we remember to vote for her?
Finally Gwen Stefani will be performing The Sweet Escape with Akon Wednesday's results show.

After I saw that girl cry last night during his actually good performance, I thought OMG he might actually win this thing. I think he has a stronger fan base then we thought that are sincerely voting for him. And considering there really is no one that is worthy of the title American Idol why not be him. OMG did I just type that.
Quick review of the others, Haley Scarnato was actually good, Chris Robinson major yawn and most likely out tonight, Stephanie Edwards OK but forgettable and probably in the bottom two tonight, Blake Lewis really did make the song modern and the one I think should win Idol, LaKisha Jones same song, different night ie Ruben Studdard and Bo Bice, Gina Glocksen rocked out, Phil Stacey should be out soon, Chris Sligh ok, Jordin Sparks was the best last night and Melinda Doolittle looked like she was in her 50s last night, they need to make her look younger or she will be out sooner than we all think. OK done…what did you think?
