“Voodoo” is the highly anticipated Adam Lambert track appearing as a bonus track on international versions of his debut album For Your Entertainment.

The album was released in Australia and New Zealand today (March 5) giving peeps a first listen to the tune Adam co-wrote with Sam Sparrow.”

Adam has told interviewers that he left the sultry dance track off the album because it didn’t fit in with the album’s overall “vibe”.

From MJ

First, the artwork on the American Idol site changed…advertising the Top 10 guys tonight and the Top 20 girls tomorrow. Yet, Ryan Seacrest announced on his radio show this morning the girls were on for tonight. Very confusing.

Now, Laura Saltman from Access Hollywood is confirming that the switch is on, and she’s trying to figure out why.

I’m hearing one of the girls is sick. Backup singer, Sy Smith just tweeted: “Lawd, potential drama at Idle today. But the show must go on…”

So it looks like the boys are performing tonight. Rumor has it that one of the girls is sick, which is weird because they’ve never switched the show order when Idols have been sick before. I suspect some fans will be getting the tin foil hats out today.

Update: Slezak is reporting that Crystal Bowersox is the one that’s too sick to perform.  “Due to medical reasons”.

American Idol Top 24 Eliminations-Sesame Street Syndrome?

I’ve seen a lot of complaining around the web about the first week of AI eliminations. While none of the four eliminated (Janell Wheeler, Tyler Grady, Ashley Rodriguez, Joe Munoz) were going to win Idol, some fans are outraged that they met their demise before others. Specifically, most online sites and fan forums seem to think that Tim Urban and Jermaine Sellers should have gotten the boot, along with Haeley Vaughn and Lacy Brown or the unknown Paige Miles.

We’ve seen this happen again and again on American Idol. The singers who suck the worst on a given night stay, while contestants who perform okay (but not great) get eliminated. Who could forget the three divas hitting the seal in AI3? What about David Hernadez (instead of Kristy Lee Cook) going out 12th and Michael Johns 8th?  How does one explain  Sanjaya’s unfathomable  staying power on the show?

WhatNotToSing ha been tracking and calculating American Idol elimination patterns for years. They assign each AI performance a rating based on feedback from blogs, fan forums, newspaper articles, major media, etc.

So what percentage of times is the contestant with the lowest rating booted? An astoundingly low 24%.
