“American Idol” Sets Movie Theme, Reveals Guest Performers For Next Week

Most “American Idol” fans are still reacting to Pia Toscano’s surprise elimination, but like it or not, the show will indeed go on.

FOX issued a press release early Friday morning confirming the return of the “songs from the movies” theme for Wednesday’s performance show. The top eight will select songs from that category for next week, again seemingly having the option of staying within their comfort zones they try to capture America’s votes.

Rihanna will take the stage for a performance on Thursday’s results show. Also on stage that night will be Jason Aldean and season one “Idol” Kelly Clarkson, who will perform their duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”
