American Idol 11 Top 5 - British Theme - Carrie Underwood & Coldplay Set to Perform
Next week, American Idol's Top 5 will be taking on a "British Theme." Any ideas on what exactly this means?!
As far as musical guests go, it looks like Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood will be rockin' the stage on results night! Most likely, she'll be performing her current smash hit "Good Girl" which is currently in the Top 10 of the Country charts. It was previously reported by Celebuzz that Jennifer Lopez would be performing "Dance Again," but looks like that is simply not true.
Also, Entertainment Weekly reports that British band Coldplay will hit the stage to perform two songs from their current album, Mylo Xyloto.
Coldplay also took to their Twitter account to announce the news, saying:Coldplay will perform two songs on @AmericanIdol on 3 May. We have 100 tickets to give away to the recording - cldp.ly/cpaidol A— Coldplay (@coldplay) April 26, 2012
Underwood is currently gearing up for the release of her brand new album Blown Away on May 1. You can stream her album on iTunes.
