According to Gwen Steffani's website, she's mentoring next week then performing with Akon on the results show. Still don't know what the theme is.

Lexie_girl -- From the Fox press release for next week's "American Idol": Grammy Award-winning artist Gwen Stefani will work with the Top 10 finalists next week on AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, March 27 (8:00-9:07 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), and will perform “The Sweet Escape” with Akon on the results show Wednesday, March 28 (9:00-9:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. It will be a pop-themed week, as contestants pick their favorite songs from that genre.

Gwen Stefani has to be the coolest mentor the show has ever had in the eyes of many of those kids. I bet there are finalists from other seasons who are very jealous!! It'll be nice having someone who is cutting edge contemporary. Should be fun

I'll say it without the cough... If the likes of Britney Spears and her weak, weak voice can make millions of dollars selling albums because she used to be cute and could dance, then why can't Sanjaya? Some of the teen idols my peers listened to weren't fabulous singers. Shawn Cassidy anyone? I personally listened to David and he was fabulous. LOL. Sanjaya is being kept in by the tweens voting for 2 hours on their cell phones. Us adults only vote for 10 minutes. Until the votes get more concentrated, he will stay.

In the country world it is Garth Brooks. The intangible "charisma" is the difference between being a good singer and being a star. You either have it or you don't. It isn't something that can be developed or determined. Point in case: Taylor Hicks -- we all knew he wasn't the best singer, but he just made you like him despite yourself. McPhee was technically a wonderful singer, but she left many of us (not all, I realize that) feeling cold. Kind of like (this is my opinion) watching a beautiful mannequin. The only time I liked her was when she was being young and goofy.

I've quit griping about Sanjaya still being on the show since my best friend reminded me of the crush I had on FABIAN about 50 years ago. (OMG) As long as there is AI, there will be lesser talents deep into the finals. It is a popularity contest, not based on merit.

I can list Rex Smith, Lief Garrett, etc. Does anybody else think in the promo for Donny's (Osmond of course) new game show he looks a LOT like Dr. Will Kirby in the very first couple of shots?

Sanjaya is very young yes I agree: I like him and I am patient with him he needs to feel his lyrics and forget the audience, also get a personality, and he did that this week that is why he is still here. He reminds me of a certain pop star (will not say the name). He did better and was in more control then Stephanie this week. Phil, Haley and maybe Gina will all leave before Sanjauya; at least I will be delighted to see him for 3 more weeks.

I don't want to see Sanjaya win AI this season. That said, ignoring who the better technical singer is for the moment, I have to ask myself who I had more fun watching the other night – Sanjaya or Stephanie? If I'm being honest (using one of Simon's favorite lines), I had more fun watching Sanjaya (with crying girl as a bonus).

I have fun watching a video of a cat playing. And yes many of our entertainers aren't very good vocally.. yes Brittney.. but there ARE good vocalists.. Christina Aguilara has REAL talent, for one. So I hate that they are resorting to props like crying girl to help keep Sanjaya there. I'm sure they could find an appealing, rabid fan for any one of them. And I have to agree, Stephenie just couldn't stand out from the group of women. Sanjaya is youngest and completely different than any of the other men, not to mention that the men as a group are not as talented as the women as a group. And, I don't think HE is going to "get" what is keeping him there.

Well, I truly enjoy him in every way. I hope he "gets" that's why I vote for him.
