'American Idol' to reveal some ninth-season semifinalists a day early


Fox has announced that it will reveal "some" of American Idol's Top 24 ninth-season semifinalists during Tuesday night's special two-hour broadcast.

American Idol's Tuesday night episode will begin with the 71 contestants who survived Hollywood Week's group performance round taking the stage one final time to perform a solo number in front of judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres.
Following the performances the judges will deliberate and -- "for the first time in Idol history" -- announce some of the Top 24 semifinalists, according to Fox.

Although most of their identities appear to have already leaked online, the remaining semifinalists will then be revealed during Wednesday's one-hour broadcast at 9PM ET/PT.

American Idol's ninth-season semifinals will begin on Tuesday, February 23 when the Top 12 female semifinalists perform for the first time.  The Top 12 male semifinalists will follow on Wednesday night, with home viewers casting their male and female votes immediately after each broadcast.

Two male and two female semifinalists will then be eliminated on American Idol's first live ninth-season results show on Thursday, February 25 at 8PM ET/PT.

Andrew Masters could take it all

Published in

Andrew Masters should have been auditioning with David Cook. Similiar music abilities, Similiar voice and similiar way to make a song their own. That would have been a great show. Andrew has his leg up this year though at least for the men but there are a few woman that could kick him right back to being blue. It's going to be an interesting ride. Glad to see a little more talent this year!!

Howard Stern In Talks To Replace Simon Cowell On "American Idol"


Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) - Simon Cowell may be leaving "American Idol," but the nastiness wouldn't leave the Fox hit reality competition show. Shock jock Howard Stern is said to be in talks to replace Cowell next season.

According to New York Post, "Idol" producers want the Sirius XM radio host to take the seat about to be vacated by Cowell.

Stern, whose $100 million per year contract with the radio station ends next January, is reportedly holding out on the contract. Despite what he has been saying on air, he isn't ready to leave radio so he would like Sirius to come up with a new contract with a bigger pay.

The source said, "We believe this is a ploy to make Sirius pay up and keep him on his huge contract. But if Sirius can't pay him the money he wants, he may negotiate to film 'Idol' on the side."

Last month, Cowell confirmed that he will leave the show next season. The current ninth season premiered on January 12 and is expected to conclude in May.

Just one day until Ellen debuts

Published in

Just one more day and Ellen Degeneres will make her premier. Many critics are on their toes to see how she will do. She has to watch how she acts though. Her opinion could effect her money maker the Ellen show. She may gain a few new watchers or she may just lose a lot more. She has to take it seriously or she won't matter to the show. She will just be another Paula Abdul, someone who gives their opinion but you never take into count. Ellen will be speaking for the people who love to dance and love the music more. She has a huge weight on her shoulder. I guess 1 more day and we will see if Ellen Degeneres can make it happen.

'Idol' Judge Accused of Stealing Dance Show


Randy Jackson isn't used to stealing the show -- but according to a new lawsuit, that's exactly what he did with "America's Best Dance Crew."

The Dawg and MTV are being sued by a guy named Dwight McGhee -- who claims the two powerhouses ripped off his idea for a reality show about a dance crew ... called "International Breakerz League."

According to the lawsuit, filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, McGhee claims he pitched his show idea -- which he calls "uncannily similar" to ABDC -- to MTV back in 2004.

Fast forward four years later: ABDC premieres on MTV ... and McGhee is pissed, claiming he and MTV struck an "implied" contract when he pitched his concept.

Now, McGhee wants Randy and MTV to pay more than $2,000,000 for his trouble

'American Idol' -- Duped by a Phoney???


It seems one high-pitched "American Idol" favorite is not who she appears to be -- at least when it comes to her accent -- because Nicci Nix has been on all sorts of reality shows before ... with a completely different voice.

Why didn't Ellen participate in any of the auditions? Are they tryng to hook us before she starts? The auditions are a important part in getting to know the conestants and remembering the really good ones. She is going to come in blind.
