“American Idol” Gets More “Blah Blah Blah” With Ke$ha, Orianthi

Expect a healthy dose of “Blah Blah Blah” as “American Idol” as Ke$ha joins Orianthi on the show this Wednesday.

Orianthi, who broke through as the scheduled guitarist for Michael Jackson’s comeback and has been enjoying success with “According to You,” had been previously confirmed by media for the results show gig.

Ke$ha was officially announced Monday, completing the docket for Wednesday’s hourlong results show. Since moving to one hour in length, “Idol” has worked to fill time with at least two live musical performances.

The latter addition has stirred some buzz in the entertainment community, as some question whether Ke$ha fits into the vocal-centric “Idol” environment. While the sexually-charged blonde pop star has had phenomenal success with “TiK ToK” and current single “Blah Blah Blah,” her music involves the heavy use of auto-tune and other vocal modification tools. Her live singing has also come under criticism.

In the past, however, “Idol” has not shied away from auto-tune driven performances, featuring Kanye West singing “Heartless” and Jamie Foxx on “Blame It.”

The twelve “Idol” finalists take the show to perform Tuesday; one will be eliminated during Wednesday’s results show.
