American Idol 11

UPDATE: Nigel Lythgoe tweeted: “I love the Gotye song. It makes a great duet on #AmericanIdol this week. How wonderful and ironic that we’re doing 2 Kelly Clarkson tracks!”

TWO Kelly Clarkson songs? OY. And the Goyte song “Somebody That I Used to Know” is also being covered on Glee this week.

Enough of us bitched at American Idol executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, that he finally gave us a modern theme. The kids will be choosing songs from this decade. That means tunes from 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Here’s my wish list of songs for the Idols to sing. What’s yours?

Queen members, Roger Taylor and Brian May are currently busy getting the new tribute road show, “The Queen Extravaganza,” ready for its May 26 opening in Quebec.

Part of the preparation will be a two-night “introduction” of the cast on the April 25-26 episodes of “American Idol.”, according to a reportt.

Nigel Lythgoe tweeted the news we’ve all been waiting for. This week’s theme is “This Decade”. In other words, tweets Nigel, songs from the years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
