American Idol’s Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry and Elliott Yamin were at Elvis Presley’s Graceland for the celebrity “songs” for 5-9-06 American Idol Show.
The Presleys and the finalists were at the rock legend’s home Saturday 5-6-09Â to shoot 
the TV show’s next installment with an Elvis theme and a critique by music producer Tommy Mottola. The American Idol show will air Tuesday 5-9-06.
Priscilla Presley said the show’s presence at Graceland was appropriate because her late ex-husband shared many of the “Idol” contestants’ experiences.
“Elvis, too, had to audition,” she said. “He was laughed at. He was basically booed off stage. He had to struggle with the fact that he came from very humble beginnings and didn’t have opportunities to have others experience his talent.”
Contestants Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin waved and took pictures of the yelling crowd as their sport utility vehicle inched through the mansion’s gate.
Nearly four years after its debut, “Idol” continues to rule the ratings. It has attracted 25 million to 33 million viewers each telecast this season. The winner will be crowned May 25.
Priscilla Presley, who with her daughter had lunch with the contestants, said she’s been a fan of the show for years.
“I think it’s a great thing. I love the fact that these are people from all over the United States who probably would never have had the opportunity to be in this position,” she said.
Should make a great week for the Final 4 American Idol contestants.
