Paula Abdul tells the crew at the KISS Phoenix John Jay and Rich show that next week’s theme is “Songs from the Year They Were Born”

The rest of the interview: Paula says Miley Cyrus (pre-taped) and Lady Gaga will perform on the show tonight (she forgot to mention David Cook–his pre-taped performance is scheduled to air tonight.)
There was lots of bitching about the contestants talking back. The DJs were annoyed with Anoop. I think the producers are prodding the contestants into backtalking–there’s so much of it this year. And it doesn’t help when Ryan asks pointed questions.
Paula’s favorite was Danny, Scott, Kris and Adam–she put in a good word for Allison. She didn’t like Matt. Everyone thought it was funny that Simon called his song “noncommercial” when it’s actually a big hit. (I noticed that too).
