American Idol viewers have just suffered through the universally loathed Disco Week, so what’s their reward? Rock Week, apparently. We’re cautiously optimistic about this one, since the air-date hasn’t actually been confirmed. Maybe they’re saving it for the top 3?
While it’s hard to imagine him rockin’ a keypad instead of a Les Paul, iconic ex-Guns’n'Roses/Velvet Revolver/Slash’s Snakepit (remember them?) guitarist Slash has announced, via Twitter, that he’s been asked to mentor the Idol contestants during Rock Week.
Will singer/acoustic guitar strummer Kris Allen attempt to rock the “Sweet Child O’Mine” solo in front of Slash? We hope not.
Will fan favorite Adam Lambert dish out some sort of slightly glammed-up, sort of embarrassing (but pretty cool for AI) version of an ’80s power ballad? Very possible.
Tune in to find out what horrors Rock Week has in store. Chris Daughtry will reportedly be debuting a new Daughtry song during the show, too.
We’ll be here to talk/complain about it afterwards.

I am not a professional in this line of business; however, as an avid American Idol, AmIdol, follower, it was obvious that Adam “out-classed the entire field” with 10 weeks ago..
AmIdol’s, task for weeks was to make it seem that there was actually competition for Adam, in the face that there was no competition.
Kris is a nice young man, who will make a great lounge singer in years ahead; where Adam will likely become new male ICON in the singing industry; in our minds he is probably the very best Male Vocalist in all 8 seasons of AmIdol. Adam is truly, and already a international Star, and will FILL concerts all over the planet.
If this is really a singing competition, not simply (only) a “popularity” contest… Adam is a clear winner… in a few hours we will know…
AND, in any event, Adam will have a terrific career, and Kris will likely have the same fate of the “harmonica guy” (Taylor Hicks) several several years ago… nice guy, but not a pop-star…

Maybe Adam was just to theatrical for some people?
Some people have made comments here about him being a bad role model, which sounds kinda homophobic to me…but maybe I’m wrong (I hope!)
