As I recall, Kelly didn't seem all that into it when she performed on World Idol. She didn't seem to give it her all, maybe she'd been told she had it in the bag. The Iceland guy did put his heart and soul into his performance and really did deserve to win, as surprising as it was. He was very good.

Thanks for the link, Naja. I downloaded his "Beautiful Day" after the competition, and I like this too. I remember Simon arguing with another judge when the other judge made a negative comment about Kelly's performance. It was rather funny to me.

As for AI9, I'm still waiting for someone to WOW me. My early preferences are Crystal, Mike and Siobhan. Watching the background clips, I started to wonder if it was a singing competition or a saddest story competition.

Miley Cyrus will appear as a guest mentor and help the Top 11 finalists prepare for their performances on a Billboard No.1 Hits.

Ketchup, That's what I put in spoiler tags above.

And I can barely stand a 3 minute interview with Miley on my talk shows, I don't know how I will suffer this.

LOL - I'm kind of looking forward to hearing what she has to say.

I think Miley may advise them to go back in time and be born into a family with a father who is a successful country singer or maybe wear a wig.

LOL - She can't top Kelly Clarkson. She was a mentor for the Canadian Idol contestants a few years ago.

For those who didn't see it, she was incredibly candid. One of her best lines to one of the contestants was something to the effect of

"Stop worrying so much about singing on key. It's not that important!"

I was LOL listening at how it came out. The funny thing is it was good advice. The contestant she was talking to had become so tense that he had lost what made him appealing in the first place. Plus he was generally on key anyway.

How can Miley Cyrus off any tips in a singing competition? She stinks at singing.

Well she has made millions and millions of dollars from her singing so she must be doing something right. Plus, to be blunt, at least she is a current successful performer and not someone who is trying to cling to fame or revitalize an ancient and comatose career.

I actually think that Miley has a good voice. I'm not overly thrilled about some of her current songs but I do think she can sing...on key. I think she has just been so over-publicized that the perception of her has become bigger than her talent.

She will also draw a lot of younger viewers which is a bonanza for Idol, which tends to draw a slightly older crowd.

I hope AI give the power to the judges to send someone home and stop this joke they call phoning in....tim big joke the only natural thing about him is his honest expression of "I am still here?" that is all I have to say. I want Alex back he did not get a chance to show his talent.

Somebody has probably already answered this, but it's late and I don't want to read the archives right this minute. My question is about the recordings at iTunes. Do only the top so-many contestants have studio versions recorded of their songs after a certain point in the competition? And are they songs available for so long before they can no longer be downloaded? I find it confusing searching for songs on iTunes. Any help/direction here appreciated. And starting which week are the videos available?

Sia, it appears they all have been doing a studio recording of all their songs since the top 24, the week we started voting.

For example, here is Aaron's page at itunes with every song he has done since top 24 listed there for purchase.

I would also like to add that it appears there is no time limit to get them. Ashley Rodriguez was eliminated way back that first week from the top 24 and her only song is still available in itunes.

The only thing is they aren't full versions of the songs are they? They are just the abridged versions similar to what they performed on the show.

Jimmer, yeah, the same as what they sang on the show....until you get to top 12. Then they are the whole songs.

eta: I mean I am assuming that because all of a sudden once you get to top 12 performances, the songs go from 1-2 minutes to over 4 minutes. I think over 4 minutes is about the length of most singles that are released by real artists?

Oh that's good then. I didn't realize they were releasing full versions for the top 12. I wonder what they would do if one of them were to attempt to sing something like Bohemian Rhapsody again. Release a full version. Yikes!

LOL, funny you should mention that, Jimmer. I actually have Constantine Maroulis' studio recording of Bohemian Rhapsody from season 4, and it's 6:05 in length.

Oh that's very cool. Love the song by the way and that was a nice performance. Constantine seems to have disappeared though.

Jimmer, he disappeared from pop music, but not show business. He has been doing theater and has even been nominated for a Tony award. Now he's getting a Sardi's caricature :-)

Great to hear. There are all sorts of different ways of making a career in entertainment and I'm happy to hear that he is making it in theater.

Here the list of over 100 songs the top 10 get to choose from for R&B week. If a single one of them chooses to sing "On The Wings of Love", I just may get a little agitated. After watching the last season of Bachelor, I think I have had my fill of that song for the rest of my life.

Naja, if I hear "On The Wings of Love Again," I may throw my TV out the window. That has to be one of the cheesiest songs ever recorded. I hated the song long before I heard it 128 times on the last season of The Bachelor.
