American Idol 2011 Spoilers for March 9th

Idol tonight is pre-taped (like last week)… live performances should start next week.  Because the show is being well planned we have a pretty good idea of what will happen. 

As far as performances this is what you should see…

    * Lauren Alaina – Any Man of Mine (Shania Twain)

    * Casey Abrams – With A Little Help From My Friends (Joe Cocker)

    * Ashton Jones – When You Tell Me That You Love Me (Diana Ross)

    * Paul McDonald – Come Pick Me Up (Ryan Adams)

    * Pia Toscano – All By Myself (Celine Dion)

    * James Durbin – Maybe I’m Amazed (Paul McCartney)

    * Haley Reinhart – Blue (LeAnn Rimes)

    * Jacob Lusk – I Believe I Can Fly (R. Kelly)

    * Thia Megia – Smile (Michael Jackson)

    * Stefano Langone – Lately (Stevie Wonder)

    * Karen Rodriguez – I Could Fall In Love (Selena)

    * Scotty McCreery – The River (Garth Brooks)

    * Naima Adedapo – Umbrella (Rihanna)

I’m looking forward to seeing Casey sing the Joe Cocker song and Scotty should do well on familiar ground with the Garth Brooks.  Pia, who was a stand out last week, should do well with “All By Myself” and Thia seems to have taken the judges Michael Jackson comments to heart.  Steven Tyler’s wild card, Naima, will be the last up with her rendition of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” – typically they save the best for last so here’s to hoping she proves herself worth the save.

The men’s performances seemed to go as planned, so I’m fairly certain that this is what you can expect to see on American Idol tonight.  The top twelve girls perform, this should be the order and the songs that they sing.
