'American Idol' producer promises "so many surprises" for season finale
As American Idol reaches its seventh-season crescendo this week, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said there are several surprises in store.
"I'm not really allowed to say anything because we've called in so many surprises," said Lythgoe as a guest on Monday's broadcast of Idol host Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show.
Idol's seventh-season finale will kick-off tomorrow night with the Top 2 finalists -- David Archuleta and David Cook -- each performing three times during the live broadcast beginning at 8PM ET/PT.
"Clive Davis has actually chosen them a song. He's the man with the golden ears. He's chosen a couple of songs for them to sing. I won't spoil the surprise of what he's chosen for them," said Lythgoe.
"[Archuleta and Cook have] actually chosen a song each from the Top 10 songs that have been voted for [online] and then they're doing another song that they've either sung during the series or something that they want to sing. I can tell you now that David Archuleta is going to sing 'Imagine' again, which is fantastic."
Home viewers will vote for either Archuleta or Cook immediately following Tuesday night's episode, with the winner being revealed during Wednesday night's bloated two-hour live seventh-season finale.
"We have got probably the biggest star in the world right now coming on," teased Lythgoe. "That's all I'm saying -- the biggest star in the world right now."
In addition, Lythgoe said producers also put together another performance via the wonder of technology.
"I've done another one of those videos, if you remember we did Celine Dion and Elvis Presley [during Idol Gives Back last spring]," said Lythgoe. "I've done another one of those, which is absolutely fantastic... More than two [people] this time."
Lythgoe also hinted that Idol's seventh-season finale will feature some "young brothers" -- an apparent reference to the Jonas Brothers.
The finale will also feature other filler, including performances by Idol's Top 12 seventh-season finalists and each member of the Top 5 singing a duets with other musicians.
"Each one of them has their own little surprise in store for us," said Lythgoe.

this is another rumor or not, that i read about DA on his song imagine..that he is going to put in the verse he left out, [imagine there's no heaven, no hell below us, it's easy if you try...DA didnt want to sing that verse cuz he didnt want to cuz any bad waves about relgion etc etc!!!! i dont know if he will put that verse in there, all we know is he is singing it again! this is NOT a RUMOR! Simon on Leno last night when asked who is going to win this. Simon said david lol! :funny: than he said no really david cook DESREVES to WIN! :yess: i just hope cook is great tonight [i know he will be] and if he is i cant wait to hear Simon say.....DC you have done ENOUGH to WIN this! :yess: than it is voting like a crazy person :wohoo: see you guys later! :waves:

UPDATE: it is NOT a rumor! Cook will sing u2's still havent found what i'm looking for , i just heard Nigel on the radio with ryan, saying that cook is singing this as one of his picks,
this year it goes like this
clive davis picks a song!
idol picks a song........one they have done or one they want to do....u2 has NEVER let AI do thier songs,,,but Bono said cook can sing his songs, so Bono said its ago! :yess:
than nigel said they were doing something different [we] get to vote online what top 10 song we want the idol to sing!
i dont know where the org song that AI writes for each idol will come in at????????
big star hmmmmmm.....with nigel that could mean robert downy jr lol :funny: but if it is really BIG it could be Sir paul himself.... or Bono!
they are going to do the duet thing again with [Elvis] Nigel said it will be afew songs, not just one this time! that was very cool last year i STILL have it on tape!
i just saw ELLEN and Simon said COOK SHOULD WIN!!!!!!!!!! ELLEN also WANTS COOK TO WIN!!! oh please i hope he does VOTE VOTE! for COOK!!!!! the next REAL AI! :wohoo: :wohoo:
side note some are saying why are the judges now saying cook should win, b/cuz they have been pimping DA to win, Simon said it ALL...Simon said it is b/cuz DA sounds the same everyweek, he has done nothing to prove he should be the next AI Simon went on to say, he thinks someone should know life, and have had to pay some dues ...he went on to say cook has done just that! DA said oh i'll just go back to high school, and put out a cd...come on, DA is way to young for this, he is NOT ready!...
i dont want to sound mean, but DA is not ready and sure does not to deserve to be the next AI! now the media just got awhole of a story saying that DA is sick, and his voice is not doing good, why oh why does Jeff DA'S dad have to keep this crap up! (:;) DA doesnt need the pitty vote,
jeff is so fearful that cook will win this! i think it would DESTROY DA to win ! his dad is to much, and NOT in a good way, i know jeff released this crap to the media so if DA does do the same ole same ole, people will think WOW! he did great, cuz he was sick! :groan: DA needs to wait until he is out of high school, and not a kid to get away from his dad, and get to know who he is as a singer, performer etc etc! i am tellin ya! i will be FREAKING OUT if COOK doesnt win this
I will be so upset with AI for pushing idols on people [i.e giving them more face TV time, back stories to push them as the next AI...they need to STOP IT! now they see it was COOK that should of had alot more promo, and back story that is why IMO AI needs to wait afew weeks and let us and them see just who is GREAT and who is NOT, before they start saying wow! you are the winner. i swear DA could pass gas and Randy would say BRAVO! WTH! is up with that??? i really cant believe Randy thinks this kid is the BOMB
sorry for the rant, but i dont get it, [at all] thanks for letting me vent.....i know i can always come here to just get it all out! :hugs:
