American Idol Theme for April 8 2008

This week on American Idol (4-8-09) the Idols Top 8 Remaining Idol will picks songs with an Inspirational Theme.
So our top 8 of Michael Johns, Kristy Lee Cook, Jason Castro, Syesha Mercado, Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, Brooke White, and David Cook will pick from a predetermined list of inspriational songs and perform then on the 4-8-09 show. The voted off results of those performances will not be shown until a special Thursday edition of American Idol on 4-10-09. Idol Gives Back Telethon will air on Wednesday 4-9-08.
From back stage sources we found out that the day after the live results show, the finalists select their song for the next week, once they learn of the theme and their options. Then, they work with the show’s professional staff, such as the show’s vocal coach, Debra Byrd, and arranger, Michael Orland (he’s the guy at the piano), on the arrangement. Later, musical director Rickey Minor and others score the songs after listening to recordings of the contestants’ initial performances.
All of this happens on Thursdays, the day after the live results show, so they have to make very important decisions rather quickly.
However, the contestants do have five days to rehearse and work with vocal coaches to perfect their songs and arrangements, and they perform three times on Tuesdays before the performance show, so they aren’t exactly unfamiliar with the arrangement by the time they sing live.
