Usher will be mentoring the Top 10 on Tuesday (8/7c FOX) as the kids take on R&B/soul songs.  He’ll return on Wednesday (9/8c FOX) to perform his new single, “OMG”.   Also set to perform–Diddy & Dirty Money will be on hand to perform their single, “Hello, Good morning”

If that isn’t enough, I’m hearing that Justin Bieber will also be performing on Wednesday. At least, that’s what the Idol ticket invitation sent out to peeps on the audience waiting list says.

There is a chance that Bieber is taping a performance for later broadcast, but I think it’s safe to bet that The Fetus will be gracing the Idol stage on Wednesday. Ha!

ETA: A twitter friend reminded me that Usher “discovered” Bieber, so expect the fetus to perform.

thnx frogcooke!

    Selena Gomez?
    I checked I-tunes top 100. So far we had on Idol almost everybody, with the exception of Beyonce.
    How about performance by Pink? What, a girl can’t dream??

    The demographics on forums and blogs tend to be younger. Yes, 60-70 year-old Grandmas watch the show but don’t get on the Internet. Personally, I loved having Lulu & Peter Noone, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton, etc. as Guest Mentors who then sang on Results Night.

    Three weeks in a row of lousy guest singers. What next?

    How do we know TPTB even look at the votes? How do we know they haven’t scripted the whole season?

    The contestants used to perform the songs by the mentor, think Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Gwen Stefani or Mariah Carey, or at least music that was connected to the mentor like country music and Randy Travis, or Smokey Robinson and Motown.

    And every single one of them had a CD, single or cause to promote when they appeared on AI, just like Usher does now.

    Seems to me last year S8 had better mentors, or more experienced ones e.g smokey and Randy Travis and I can’t remember who else BUT i do remember the guest performances being more authentic and powerpacked – Stevie wonder, kanye west, daughtry, Carrie.. Just seems this season it’s more about the current charts.

    I bet people like Casey and Crystal would give anything to have Mentors like Randy Travis or Whitney Houston instead.

    Like Miley Cyrus, Flo Rida, and Jamie Foxx? Again, it just seems like selective memory…

    Yes I am sure they would appreciate someone like Randy Travis or Whitney before her reputation took a nosedive. But I am sure they will appreciate what Usher has to give them too. Afterall he competed on Star Search so he has some experience with the type of competiton they are undergoing; he has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and won five grammys. Billboard continually ranks him and his CD’s high in their various charts.
    Criticism of Miley mentoring I understood, but I think Usher actually might have some experiences that might be beneficial to the contestants.

    If the demographic is 18 – 49, I would like to know how many in that age range listen to and buy Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Bros, Demi Lovato, and Justin Bieber. If the goal to make the children of that age range DEMAND that their parents switch the channel to AI, then I get it.

    I have an Usher album (I’m slightly older than the demographic) and I definitely consider him R&B.

    The mention above of Otis Redding makes me want to hear Crystal do ‘Sitting On the Dock of the Bay’. She said she’s going sans guitar and that definitely works.

    Siohban actually sang Wicked Game but I did LOVE it so half credit there.

    D’oh! :Facepalm: Of course she did… that was my brainfart – lol! And I loved it too.

    I watch the show with my younger kids ranging in ages from 5-13. My college aged sons used to watch AI, but got bored with it and think it is rigged and that none of the artists from AI make it because they aren’t good songwriters and their first album is rushed. I like having the younger artists on sometimes because my kids seem to enjoy them,plus their music is kind of safe usually for my kids that are under 10.

    They know the crazy female fan bases love their male contestants. And a male will win again this year. WGWG – most likely. Expect a lot a depimping and producer trickery later on to out some of the males. It won’t work. Lee, Casey, maybe even Aaron, will hold the golden microphone come May.

    See I’d like to believe that there are a lot of DC and KA fans that simply know good music when they hear it, and realize there are contestants that, once they are off the show, are going to make good music. Therefore, I’d like to believe that a lot of their fans see this in Crystal and are voting for her as a result. Maybe Siobhan as well.

    I’m older (top part of the 18-49 demo) and think Casey’s pretty darned good-looking, but his music hasn’t stood out to me so I’m not sending votes his way. Actually, of the three you have named, I see the greatest potential in Aaron. I’ve thrown votes his way some because I want him to stay, but I ultimately want Crystal or Siobhan to win, if they continue doing as they’re doing.

    ETA: Kate8 I’m with you, I don’t mind Justin Beiber being on for my daughter’s sake.
