"As for the song they both have to sing, Cowell predicts, "I think it wil be harder for Blake to sing."

The reason? It's a ballad."

But are they actually singing the same song this year?

I don't know how much Justin Guarini knows, but he implies in this interview that they have different songs this year. Did Simon mean that both are ballads? Take this for what it's worth:

Quote:

EJ: Although, I have to say, I think Blake Lewis ought to count his blessings that he doesn’t have to adapt “A Moment Like This�?to his style.
Justin: (loud laugh) Yeah, no, it was tough that first year. They were working out a lot of bugs. Ever since then they have not had the finalists sing the same exact songs because they realize that just isn’t the way to go. They have two very different artists. You can’t make them sing the same songs. But, it’s just, you know, they’ve worked out the bugs and we’re really expecting a great finale this year. I think it’s going to be thee closest in Idol history.

Edit: I heard this elsewhere, but just remembered when I was skimming that Justin interview. Beatles songs have been cleared for the finale, so Sir Paul may show up, or the Idols might just be singing some of those songs, or anything in between.

There's a rumor floating around that Britney Spears may show up at the finale......

According to an article (still looking for it), Britney was asked why she would even consider a duet with Sanjaya. Reporter presumely made the comment that Sanjaya can't sing.

Britney answered that if she can make K-Fed famous by just marrying him, she's sure Sanjaya will be a hit!

I’m out of lurker mode to share some news. A tech friend of mine told me that Fox is kind of laughing about all the crazy calls they got from Katherine McPhee fans this week because she’s supposedly not goingto be on the show next week. The funny thing is, she will be �?and she’s singing a duet with Blake. The producers wanted to put last year’s runner-up with Blake, who they think stands good chance of being this year’s first runner-up. Blake and Katherine do this sort of this medley thing where Blake starts out singing part of one of his new songs (one of his own compositions, I think), then they segue into a song from Kathrine’s album (?). He says the song has a killer beat but kind of weird lyrics, and at the end, Katherine and Blake go AT it, with Blake laying down some serious beatboxing riffs.
