During a press conference in Los Angeles this afternoon, the Top 4 Idols would not confirm nor deny there would be duets this week. But Crystal Bowersox totally spilled the beans later in a tweet: “Duets!!!! Love it!!!! You guys will too I hope.”
Before Season 8, the contestants would each sing 2 songs at this point. But last year, with the addition of a fourth judge, there were problems keeping the show running on time. So the solution at Top 4, was to have each Idol sing 1 song + a duet with another Idol for a total of 6 songs.
The producers have decided to repeat that game plan for the Season 9 Top 4. Jamie Foxx will return to Idol on Tuesday to mentor the Idols as they take on songs from the movies.
No word on who will be paired up with who. But let me guess… Crystal Bowersox/Mike Lynche and Lee DeWyze/Casey James will pair up.
How do you think the pairings will shake out? Who would you like to see duet? And what would you like them to sing?

On Wednesday’s results show, Daughtry will perform their new single, “September”. Bon Jovi is also set to perform.
