CHARICE AND PIA TOSCANO DUET ON AMERICAN IDOL

American Idol 9th Placer Pia Toscano will be doing a duet performance with Pinay singer Charice.

The rumored news broke when Pia had her interview with celebrity news site Hollywood.com. She revealed that she would really love to sing with Charice.

“Charice Pempengco? She’s the most amazing singer ever. I would absolutely perform with her, she’s insane,” Pia said.

“When I was covering all of my Celine Dion songs, I would watch her videos,” Pia confessed. “She’s just out-of-this-world amazing and I am such a huge fan of her,” she added.

After Charice performed "All By Myself" on Glee, and Pia covered it during the Top 13, would this be the song they will sing in the finale? Because from the previous seasons, the contestants sing in the finals with the songs they covered on the show before they were eliminated.

WHAT THE AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 8 SHOULD DO FOR "SONGS OF THE CINEMA"

We all have to move on from what happened. Pia is eliminated.

Next week, the American Idol top 8 will be taking on "Songs of the Cinema" where again, has a large variety of music. Each contestant will be taking on songs which are featuring films. But what would these songs be? Here are my suggestions.

Casey Abrams - he was saved three weeks ago, and his fans are making sure that he will make it to the finals. The best song for him to sing would either be "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings from the 1973 film, Live and Let Die or "If God Will Send His Angels" by U2 from the 1998 film City of Angels. Casey should really perform good every week, or the judges will regret the fact of saving him, where I think the sacrifice was Pia Toscano.
Haley Reinhart - auditioned on Season 9, but didn't make it to Hollywood. This time, she auditioned, and she made it to the TOP 2 Girls. I think she is safe next week as well as Lauren. For me, she should perform "Fame" by Irene Cara of course from Fame, or "I Remain" by Alanis Morisette from the film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. She should do less of the growling and show everyone that she doesn't only growl, because with what I see, Pia is more deserving to stay in the competition than her.
Stefano Langone - he was expecting that he will be leaving next week, but he didn't, which shocked him, and everyone in the studio, because it was Pia who left. For "Songs of the Cinema" he should do "Across the Universe" by The Beatles from the 1968 film Yellow Submarine or "Leaving on a Jetplane" by Chantal Kreviazuk from the movie Armageddon. Since people voted for him, he should really fight. He has to connect with the audience, the judges, and the people watching at home whenever he is performing, if he really wants to stay longer in the competition.
James Durbin - one of the three contestants among the top 8 who was never in the Bottom three. From slowing it down last week, he should be alive this week with "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins from the 1983 film of the same name, Footloose. He could also do "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" by AC/DC which was in the School of Rock soundtrack in 2003.
Paul McDonald - the only song I found for him was "Lovesick Blues" by Hank Williams from The Hawshank Redemption, 1994. He could do a soft rock style with "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins from the 1999 Disney movie called Tarzan. I think he will be in the bottom three next week, and I think if he wouldn't do anything good, he will be eliminated.
Jacob Lusk - it was his first time to be in the Bottom Three last week, I think because he performed first, and people forgot his performance. This week, he should do some "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John from The Lion King and do it better than anyone in the competition. He is one of the people, in my opinion, who deserves to be in the top three.
Lauren Alaina - She's one of the strongest three who haven't been in the bottom three since top 13. "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" by Phil Collins from the 1985 film of the same name, would be great for her. "To Sir, with love" by Lulu from To Sir, with love would also be cool for her, since she's still a student, everyone can really connect with her performance. This week, I think she will still be safe.
Scotty McCreery - I think for everyone in America, he's the winner. Well, he should make everyone proud with this, and based on the polls I see from a lot of American Idol blog sites, he's topping the polls. "Help!" by John Lennon from the 1965 film Help! is not country, but if he's really in the competition, he could improvise this folk rock to country. He could also sing "Heartland" by George Strait from Pure Country which topped the Billboard Hot Country singles in March 1993.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TOP 8 SHOULD DO? PLEASE POST A COMMENT.

PIA TOSCANO ELIMINATED: REACTIONS

I don't know how it happened but she didn't deserve to leave. Jacob doesn't also deserve to be in the bottom three!

LIVE REACTIONS:

Even her fellow contestants were shocked for her departure, as well as Stefano, who was I think, really ready to leave.

THE JUDGES SPEAK:
So Ryan asked the judges about What they think is going on. Here are their answers.

Jennifer Lopez: "I have no idea. I have no idea what just happened here. I'm shocked. I'm angry. I don't even know what to say."

Randy Jackson: "I'm with Jennifer, and I think with Steven. I think we're all in shock, I mean, you're one of the best singers in this, I mean you know what I'm sayin'? and yo yo yo yo, by the way Ryan, we said it last night, no one is ever safe, if you thought that she was safe, look at where she is now... you didn't vote, so you got to vote for whom ever you love, dude, I mean, I'm never upset on this show, and I'm never really mad, but this, like, makes me mad, it's like what is going on?"

Steven Tyler: I don't know America Man, mistake is one thing, but lack of passion is unforgivable... they're wrong. I don't know what happened with this. She's beautiful when she sings, she's a bird."
