I like Alexis. Lil, Adam, and Danny. I'm not saying the save is that bad, I just don't like the way they did it. After they say who is going home and its the end of the show they should just say "We decided to use our save" The whole making the singer stand there looking at the judges like it's crucification day blows.

American Idol Goes Country!

Idol contestants will test their twang next week as the show welcomes country stars Brad Paisley, Randy Travis and season 4 champ Carrie Underwood for Grand Ole Opry week.

The show's remaining top 11 singers will perform songs popularized by the members of the Opry, a weekly radio and stage show that has been a Nashville institution for more than 80 years. Members have included legends like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, along with current members Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and others.

Underwood, inducted last year as the Opry's newest member, will perform "I Told You So" on March 18's results show with fellow Opry member Randy Travis, who will act as the show's mentor for the week.

Taylor Hicks Tickets -- Totally Worthless
Posted Mar 17th 2009 4:55PM by TMZ Staff

It's not a charity show, it's not a fundraiser ... Taylor Hicks concert tickets have now been reduced to a whopping $0.00 -- and it still hasn't sold out.

The season five "American Idol" winner was originally scheduled to perform at The Roxy on Sunset tomorrow night -- for $36.50 a ticket. But in the last few hours, a bunch of tickets wound up on goldstar.com -- a website which claims to offer ticket discounts because, "Not every show sells out, so instead of letting seats go empty, venues list them with us to sell to our members."

Now, instead of offering the usual half-price discount, Hicks tix are being given away for nothing ... nada .. zip ... zilch ... except an $8.75 service fee.

I always thought Daughtry should've won that year.

Tara · March 17, 2009, 05:17:28 PM

I just saw that on TMZ about Taylor.

Monkey · March 17, 2009, 05:21:15 PM

Sarver was alright. But he'll be safe for sure because that'll appeal to the hardcore-country fans. He won't be in danger at all probably, even though I'd like to see him go.

Allison was alright. She's done better, but she'll be fine.

Tara · March 17, 2009, 05:22:00 PM

I see Paulas botox and stuff wore off some. LMAO@ Simon asking Paula what she meant by what she said.

Paula has no idea what she says. I think its time for Paula to retire..lol

Tara · March 17, 2009, 05:26:24 PM

Country music week isn't going as bad as I thought it would.

Monkey · March 17, 2009, 05:26:34 PM

Kris is forgettable.. that's his problem.

This is reminding me of when Brooke forgot the words for some reason. I don't know why, but that performance just gave me some major flashbacks.

No kidding.

OMG... I just saw the songlist... I know what Lil picks, but too bad she didn't pick Honkytonkbadonkadonk.

Eh... Lil did much better than I expected. Country obviously isn't her thing though.

ADAM....OMG

LMFAO @ this arrangement!

He isn't gonna change for anyone, is he?

Are you serious? I felt like Simon did about it.

Tara · March 17, 2009, 06:00:20 PM

The thing I have to say about Scott is....not only does he learn a new song, he learns to play it on the piano also.

That's pretty awesome. Poor guy can't even see where the judges are.

Paula wants Scott do get away from the piano..does she want him on the stage and just fall down since he can't see 1 foot in from of him?

Monkey · March 17, 2009, 06:07:53 PM

Well it wasn't the greatest (obviously

) but I liked how he stuck to his guns and took all of the country out of that song.

Now Scott was pretty bad. I wish they'd stop sugar-coating everything for him. It was bad, and they shouldn't feel bad/guilty about saying that.

What he's done is pretty special... but it's still a singing competition, and he just doesn't cut it. He'll be vulnerable after that. I don't think the producers will mind if he goes tomorrow night anyway.... as bad as this sounds, I doubt they'd want him on the AI Tour that the top 10 go on.

I love how Simon's making Paula look like an idiot though.

Monkey · March 17, 2009, 06:12:16 PM

Now THIS is painful.

Alexis

Tara · March 17, 2009, 06:14:04 PM

I'm guilty of feeling sorry for Scott.

I know its a singing competition and he does need to change it up next week if he is still here. They all want to make it to the final 10 because of the tour, but it might be hard to fit Scott in on the tour. They move around and put on a show and stuff. Someone has to walk him around the stage and stuff like that. I noticed that last week when they did the group dance and tonight when they first came out Alexis is the one holding on to him and not leaving him behind or anything like that. I just feel he puts a lot in to this by learning to play it on the piano and singing it too. I'm always for the underdog..I mean I believed OJ and Tanya Harding.
