Good evening.
We've just been informed that due to industrial action
By the league of american vocal coaches,
Tonight's episode has been preempted.
In its place, we're showing a special celebrity edition
Of the moment of truth,
Starring our very own simon cowell.
See you next week.
April fool's! This is "american idol."
American idol 726
www.1000fr.Com presents

Good evening.
Welcome, everybody. Nice to see you.
Thanks for being here.
I'm ryan seacrest.
Welcome to your tuesday night fix of "american idol."
We've got nine great performances to squeeze in to the next hour
So let us hit the ground running. Say hi to
The legendary randy jackson.
Ladies and gentlemen, paula abdul.
And i believe his heart stopped a moment ago, simon cowell.
They're on hand to help you at home,
But the contestants had someone else to turn to for advice.
Tonight's mentor, dolly parton.
To put it simply, dolly parton is a pop culture icon.
As one of the most honored and respected women in the entertainment world,
Her career has been red hot ??? And counting.
Dolly first hit the stage
As a singer/songwriter at the age of 6,
And she hadn't stopped since.
She's penned over 3,000 songs
And her success on the charts is big. (110 singles)
(25 #1 hits)
(100 000 000 albums sold worldwide)
Her latest single "backwoods barbie" is climbing up the charts.
But ???
She's made her mark on both television and in films.
Most notably with the classic hit "9 to 5".
* workin' nine to five *
Hey, everybody.
This week, she took on the top nine.
I have been watching you and i think you're great.
I don't have children of my own,
So i always think of my songs as my children.
I remember exactly when i wrote them.
What i was thinking about when i wrote them.
When i was doing the movie "9 to 5"
I didn't have my guitar on the set
And i have the acrylic nails,
So i wrote it to like a typewriter.
Hit it now.
* workin' 9 to 5 *
* what a way to make a livin' *
Everywhere i go, people ask me about "american idol"
And why i have not been on it before.
I always say, well, mostly because i couldn't go on
And criticize or judge someone else's singing,
And that's hard for me because i'm a singer myself.
Got to??? Cool
I think for these kids to come on here
And take these songs and learn them
And still be able to get the emotion out of it,
I think it's amazing.
The ??? Songs all coming from the heart.
Brooke white is up first tonight.
??? You must be going to be doing some picking.
I'm going to be doing some "jolene".
- Oh, good! - That's the plan.
I thought brooke was really good.
I thought she had a sweet, warm way about her.
* jolene *
Dolly parton, ???
She's ??? But she's huge.
She is a legend.
And she has contributed so much to the world with her music.
There's an honesty about brooke that i like.
There's a warmth in the music about country
Where you sing about real life, real people.
I think she felt it from an honest place.
So it was a good choice, i thought.
* jolene, jolene *
* im begging of you * * please dont take my man *
* jolene, jolene *
* please dont take him * * just because you can *
* your beauty is beyond compare *
* with flaming locks of auburn hair *
* with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green *
* your smile is like a breath of spring *
* your voice is soft like summer rain *
* and i cannot compete with you, jolene *
* you could have your choice of men *
* but i could never love again *
* hes the only one for me, jolene *
* and i can easily understand *
* how you could easily take my man *
* but you dont know * * what he means to me, jolene *
* jolene, jolene *
* im begging of you * * please dont take my man *
* jolene, jolene *
* please dont take him * * just because ... *
* you can *
So, check it out.
Do you know what? I definitely think this muse kick suit your voice.
You can make a album like this
I don't know if that was a stellar performance for me,
There was pitch problems ???
And sometimes you rushed the music a little bit.
But it was all right. It was all right.
- Okay. - It was all right.
Thank you, randy. Thank you.
Brooke, what's great about you is that you're consistent.
You are who you are and you put your heart and soul --
And you have an emotional connection
With each song that you pick.
I think that's what record companies and executives want.
You are brooke white,
Excellent and wonderful.
- Thank you. - What you doing??? - ???
???
Your hair looks great.
- So does yours. - Thank you very much.
- Simon, yours looks great. - What about my hair???
- Thank you. - Randy too.
Actually, i totally disagree with paula,
Because what was lacking on that song was any emotional.
- Really? - Looked like you were busting your way through the song.
I thought all of you --
I don't --
I thought all of you looked very odd together as a group as well.
- Okay - The violin player.
It looked a bit strange.
He's a very nice violin player.
You're insulting -- You're insulting the band.
- ??? - ???
She's not a group.
You know what, brooke, you loved. You're fun and fine.
Anyway, it wasn't one of your best performances.
???
- I wasn't that crazy about it. - Okay.
- That's all right. - Ladies and gentlemen
- This is brooke white. - Thank you.
Thank you very much.
??? You can vote for brooke.
1-866-Idols-01 1-866-43657-01
If you with ??? 5701
You'll have at least two hours to vote at the end of the show.
- Thank you, guys.??? - Thank you.
We'll take a breather right now and be right back with
David cook and ramiele malubay.
Welcome back. It is the dolly parton special on "american idol."
David cook is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, you over the last few weeks have taken some risks
And they have paid off.
How have you chosen the arrangements?
I have been really fortunate. ???
I have tried to find arrangements that fit me
And in most cases i have been able to find them online.
Like with eleanor rig by i found the doxology version
And kind of put them together.
Then white snake, with chris cornell with billy jean.
So i have been really fortunate.
And the feedback has been great and thank you, judges.
What about tonight?
Tonight i'm going to do my own arrangement
Of "little sparrow" by dolly parton.
All right.???
David chose one of my favorite songs.
* little sparrow *
And he seems secure in himself he seems certain.
- Yea, that's beautiful. - Yeah?
Your voice is actually beautiful.
- Thank you. - And perfect.
You know to have dolly offer me any compliment let alone a come --
Compliment about my voice is awe inspiring.
David has???
??? And david doesn't mind reaching for it,
And usually when he reaches for it he catches it.
* little sparrow, little sparrow *
* precious fragile little bird *
* little sparrow, little sparrow *
* fly so high, i feel open *
* all you needed, he has wanted *
* never trust the hearts of men
* he will crush you like a sparrow *
* leaving you to never mend *
* he will always love you *
* when your love will show us what we'll do *
* and he'll leave you for another *
* break your little heart in two *
* little sparrow, little sparrow *
* precious fragile little thing *
* little sparrow, little sparrow *
* oh the sparrow never ends *
David, check it out, baby.
So listen men, you know what?
You know what i love that you have been doing the last couple of weeks
You're a rocker, but you have got the unbelievable range.
I like how you went into your false
And you made your own arrangement which was very cool.
And once again, another hot,
Consistent performance out of you.
I like your haircut.
I can see your -- I like it.
- Uh-Huh. - Thank you.
Let me tell you something,
I've never heard a guy do that song.
So it was fantastic.
Thank you.
Fantastic hearing you doing it and going into your false
And with strength and it shows how well-Rounded you are as an artist.
Thank you.
Um, david, i'm not going to say it was as good as last week,
Because it wasn't, but look,
If you can make a song about sparrows good,
Which actually you did, congratulations.
Thank you.
Another solid night for david cook.
If you want to vote him, 1 866 idols 02
1 866 43657 02 or text vote to 5702.
866 numbers, not 800 numbers. Dial carefully.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
We appreciate the sparrow differently now.
Up next, ramiele malubay.
Finally somebody my size.
Ramiele was so cute. So sweet and so scared.
It was so precious.
* do you ever think back or no *
I think this moment was
The first moment of my whole entire life that i was unbelievably starstruck.
Embarrassing, yes. Yeah.
I thought she picked a good little song because she's tiny like me.
The song had a cute little bouncy little flavor to it.
She's got the spunk.
She's got the personality.
The fact that she's little and going to stomp her foot and do big things.
* oh, sometimes i go walking through fields where we walked *
* long ago in the sweet used to be *
* and the flowers still grow *
* but they dont smell as sweet *
* as they did when you picked them for me *
And when i think of you and the love we once knew
* how i wish we could go back in time *
* do you ever think back on old memories like that *
* or do i ever cross your mind *
* do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night *
* because you miss me *
* do you darling *
* oh, and do your memories ever take you back into another place in time *
* and do you ever miss the feelings *
* and the love we shared when you were with me *
* tell me darling or do i ever cross your mind *
* do i *
* do i ,do i ever cross your mind? *
All right. So, check it out.
You know what? I wasn't jumping up and down,
But i wasn't mad at you either.
It was kind of hard.I mean,you know
You showed some signs of strength and conviction.
It was a pretty good performance.
You know 6 1/2 out of 10.
Pretty good. That's pretty good.
I'm proud of you, ramiele.
I'm very proud of you,
Because i was a little worried that you weren't going to connect
But i think that you really had a great minute and 30 seconds and
You really connected with the audience and you were having fun.
Yeah.
Go ramiele.
Look, we're not going to remember this in ten years' time, are we?
I mean it was cute.
You sang it quite well.
Overall, i thought it was forgettable.
I think it was very reminiscent
Of something you would see and hear on a cruiseship,
If you want my honest opinion.
Ramiele malubay. Ladies and gentlemen.
How tough was it to sing for dolly?
I was really scared,
Just because you're singing a song in front of them.
So i was freaking out a little bit.
All right. Well, if you didn't forget and you like thta.
Ramiele's numbers 1 866 idols 03
Or can vote for 1 866 43657 03
Or you can text the word "vote" to 5703
Good luck.
We're going to duck out for a few.
Coming back with jason castro and carly smithson. Hang on.
Welcome back to "american idol."
Live and the results live tomorrow at 9:00/8:00 central
And a live performance by tonight's mentor, dolly parton.
Tune in for that.???
So all of the contestants get a ton of fan mail.
Today's mail came in a couple of hours ago
And castro has a bunch of postcards
That are all from the same girl.
This one is specifically says, here we go.
Check this one out.
Your voice is as relaxing as the scene on the front of this card.
I go home and watch your performances and the tension mounts away.
Isn't that sweet? ??? Buddy.
That's what's it all about. Right?
Let's see what dolly made of the dreads. So here you go.
Hey jason. How are you?
Good to see you. I love you
I would dread to have to do those locks.
She is really inviting, and in a comfortable atmosphere.
Like she wasn't intimidating at all.
I thought jason picked a great song."Travelin' through".
I think he went a little bit outside of himself
Than what i have been seeing him do on the show.
* i'm just travelin', travelin' just travelin' through *
He's kind of funky lookin', kind of cool.
So i thought it was a natural perfect little piece for him.
* well, i can't tell you where i'm going *
* i'm not sure of where i've been *
* but i know i must keep travelin' *
* till my road comes to an end *
* i'm out here on my journey *
* trying to make the most of it *
* i'm a puzzle, i must figure out *
* where all my pieces fit *
* like a poor way faring stranger *
* that they speak a about in song *
* i'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home *
* where that is no one can tell me *
* am i doomed to ever roam *
* i'm just travelin', travelin',travelin' *
* i'm just travelin' on *
* wishing i had many answers for a few *
* but we're here to learn the spirit burns to know the greater truth*
* we have been crucified nailing jesus to the tree *
* and when i'm born again you'll see it changing me *
* god made me for a reason and nothing is in vain *
* redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain *
* jesus, if you're out there, keep me close to you *
* as i'm travelin', travelin' just travelin' through *
* i'm just travelin', travelin' just travelin' through *
Yeah,
Check it out.
I thought it started --
I thought it started a little bit rough for me.
A little unsure,
But in the middle of the song i felt like you picked it up.
???This is cool.
A singer/song writer kind of vibe.
So i started to believe you,man, it was good.
You worked it out.
You know,
To me, this was one of your strongest performances.
You seemed so comfortable.
You let go.
Your voice sounded so strong and rich.
And you were confident.
It was great.
I loved it.
???
Well, this is the point where i lose my season pass to dolly wood
Because i didn't like that at all.
It sounded actually like the same song from before.
I didn't think he sang it particularly well.
I don't think this kind of music suits you particularly well.
Oh, no.
You sounded great.
If this has been the first time i had seen or heard you,
I wouldn't get it.
That's my problem.
Sorry.
No way.
All right,
Jason castro, ladies and gentlemen.
???
??
???
Thank you very much, jason.
Good to see you, buddy.
Paula loved it.
Next up, carly smithson.
I think carly's picked the perfect song for her voice.
* here you come again *
I wrote most everything i do,
But this was written by barry mann and cynthia wild.
It was a song she had picked to further her career.
???
It was amazing.
When i heard carly singing it,
I thought that's the type of voice this song is written for.
So it was a good choice on her part and she killed it, i thought.
* here you come again *
* just when i'm about to make it work without you *
* you look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies *
* and pretty soon i'm wonderin' how i came to doubt you *
* all you gotta do is smile that smile *
* and there go all my defenses *
* just leave it up to you *
* and in a little while you're messin' with my mind *
* and fillin' up my senses *
* here you come again *
* lookin' better than a body has a right to *
* and shakin' up my soul that all i really know *
* is here you come again *
* and here i go *
* here i go *
Check it out.
I do believe --
I do believe that
That will probably be one of the better performances of the night.
Nice job.
Carly, that was glorious.
You are such an amazing talent.
You are beautiful.
That voice of yours.
Oh, my gosh!
And i smiled.
You looked great.???
Thank you.
One thing,
I want to know you were hard on her last week.
You said the last note --
Last week, last week wasn't great.
This great was great.
??? She was on pitch.
???
It helps me learn.
You were on pitch.
No.
???
No.
???
Yes, see, come on.
It's better, right, simon?
Anything else?
Um, i thought it was good.
I didn't think it was great.
Sorry.
This is one of the nights.
I also think,
Carly, that you have to have a word
With whoever is dressing you at the moment.
What?
- I think at this stage, - ???
I think at this stage, without being rude,
You know, you've got to start looking more like a star.
I'm not seeing that progression at the moment.
Carly smithson.
By the way, some people would say the same thing to you
About your wardrobe.
Exactly.
Hey, simon, what's the issue today?
What's the problem?
You don't like country music.
I love country music.
What's the problem?
???
Listen, i'm saying
What i think other people at home are thinking.
It's people who you expect fantastic performances,
I'm not going to lie
If i don't think they're great.
Everyone is capable, ???
I just didn't think
That was a blow you out of your seat performance.
That was all.
I think you're looking more beautiful and more beautiful
And you're evolving,
And it's like amazing.
Okay, guys.
It's carly, ladies and gentlemen.
???
??
Thank you very much.
We appreciate it.
???
We'll take a break.
We'll be right back ???
With kristy lee cook and david archuleta.
Oh, yes,
Thank you so much for being here.
Welcome back to "american idol."
Remember, itunes is there
For you exclusively download the performances from tonight's show.
You can also get the full-Length recordings of the songs.
Very cool.
Right now, are you ready for david archuleta?
I am ready.
Look up.
When david started to sing "smoky mountain memories"
It's a song so dear to my heart.
* the air is filled with gold dust *
Just listening to the song,
It gave me chills.
It reminds me when i sing the song about my home and my family.
* how i don't recall *
I could feel that he was so into it
And that his emotion was feeling exactly
What i had written in the song.
It was all i could do to keep from crying
And i'm trying to keep these false eyelashes in place.
I really think he has the voice to really become a great, great singer.
* you oughta go north, somebody told us *
* 'cause the air is filled with gold dust *
* and fortune falls like snowflakes in your hands *
* now i don't recall who said it *
* but we'd lived so long on credit *
* so we headed out to find our promised land *
* oh, and these northern nights are dreary *
* and my southern eyes are teary *
* as i wonder how the old folks are back home *
* but i'll keep leanin' on my jesus *
* he'll love and guide and lead us *
* smoky mountain memories keep me strong *
* i'll keep lookin' to my father *
* keep my head above the water *
* smoky mountain memories keep me strong *
David archuleta.
Guess what, baby?
David archuleta is back tonight and i stand corrected.
That was the best performance of the night right here.
An amazing tone in your voice,
It's strong,
You have a beautiful aura about you.
You're just glorious.
You really are.
David, i have issues with the song of the last week.
This week, absolutely on the money.
All right, buddy.
On the money.
Good job.
Thank you.
???
??
???
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
With ???
Let's go to kristy lee cook right now.
??? Oh, you look pretty.
Not as pretty as you are.
Well, kristy lee,
I could tell she really felt the "coat of many colors".
* momma sewed the rags together *
That song is a story from my own childhood
And it is about my mother.
I thought kristy lee took it and made it her own.
* made just for me *
Oh, your mama going to be so proud of you.
When she said my mom was going to be proud of me, i was excited.
But i'd rather impress her than my mom at this moment.
So that's hopefully what i did.
* there were rags of many colors *
* every piece was small *
* and i didnt have a coat *
* and it was way down in the fall *
* momma sewed the rags together *
* sewin every piece with love *
* she made my coat of many colors *
* that i was so proud of *
* so with patches on my britches *
* holes in both my shoes *
* in my coat of many colors *
* i hurried off to school *
* just to find the others laughing *
* and making fun of me *
* in my coat of many colors *
* my momma made for me *
* (but) they didnt understand it *
* and i tried to make them see *
* that one is only poor *
* only if they choose to be *
* now i know we had no money *
* but i was rich as i could be *
* in my coat of many colors *
* my momma made for me *
* in my coat of many colors *
* my momma made for me *
* made just for me *
All right.
Check it.
Country music is definitely your wheel house
And i think you give a very nice performance.
Definitely your wheel house, so this is kind of the kristy lee week,
Your ???Country music.
??? You look stunning tonight. You really do.
You look like a beautiful --
You just give a beautiful performance.
I think this is your best performance, i do.
Thank you.
I totally disagree.
I thought last week was your best performance
And i thought this was pleasant, but forgettable.
Kristy lee cook, in her bare feet.
- Love the french pedicure. - Oh, thanks
If ??? You did good.

Okay. Welcome back to "american idol."
Vanna is here, ladies and gentlemen.
I want to touch letters.
You're voting for your favorites at the end of the show
And syesha mercado is up next. ???
Syesha ??? Made a good pick in
"I will always love you".
* if i * * if i ...*
It was simplicity with the way i had done it
And then the way that whitney houston had added to it.
* ... your way *
I was listening to the song
And i was able to find an emotional connection to it.
She liked the way it's very simple.
That's beautiful. My goodness.
That's a good combination.
You're not shy, because she came out and did her thing,
But she's a pretty girl and a good singer.
* if i *
* if i should stay *
* i would only be in *
* your way *
* so i'll go *
* and yet i know *
* that i'll think of you * * each step of *
* the way *
* and i *
* will always *
* love you *
* always love you *
* and i do wish you joy *
* and happiness *
* but above all this *
* i wish you love *
* and i *
* will always love you *
* i will always love *
* you *
Oh, yes, check it out.
You decided on however it happened you took on the biggest tiger of the night.
And i think you did pretty good.
It's still hard for me to hear anybody else singing that song.
- But it was all right. - Thank you.
Syesha, you looked beautiful. That color is beautiful on you.
Let's talk ???
???? When you're in that --
There's like a velvety tone to your voice.
That's it for you, and i think you're growing and growing ???
And connecting with the audience so much more.
- I love it. - Thank you.
Um, you know
You forget what a brilliant songwriter that dolly parton
Is because this was one of the best pop songs ever written.
I almost wish you hadn't got it in a strange way.
??? The first part was good,
But the second part paled by comparison to the whitney version.
Therefore, i don't know if it really helped you that much.
It was a good, it wasn't a fantastic version of the song.

Ready for michael johns to close the show. ???
???In '86?
In '86, you must have been a baby.
He was nervous, but i could tell he was a real fan.
* i like your looks *
* i love your smile *
To be standing there and singing one of her songs to her
And she enjoyed it, i mean,
Words can't describe that.
* it's all wrong * * but it's all right *
I do like his voice.
He would make some great records
And i think i could write some good songs for him.
So i'm hoping he does become a star.
* hello, are you free tonight *
* i like your looks * * i love your smile *
* could i use you for a while *
* it's all wrong * * but it's all right *
* just close your eyes and hold *

Yo, michael,
Check it out, baby.
You keep on bringing it up every week a notch or two.
That was a blazing hot performance. Nice job.
I have to say one thing.
It's interesting tonight, all of you --
Some of the people don't know the songs and we talk really fast,
But because they're great melodies, great hooks,
Dolly parton's amazing.
You're a star, a rock star,
- A blues star. - A star.
You're gorgeous. You look gorgeous.
You know, i think it's been an interesting night tonight, michael
But i have to say something to you.
I think that this is the best i have heard you sing.
Yeah
