American Idol: Girls And Boys Switch Nights Due To Medical Problems
http://www.realitytvcalendar.com/shows/ai-9/news/0302b-p1.html
We have just been informed by American Idol that tonight’s “Girls Perfomance Night” has been postponed.
The girls will perform tomorrow night instead of tonight and that means it will be the guys on stage tonight.
That’s rough. Short notice and a day less than the guys were planning on.
But for Crystal Bowersox, a judge, producer, and maybe fan favorite it could be a life-saver. She has an undisclosed health problem that would prevent her from performing tonight.
Here is what Fox and AI tells us...
Due to medical issues which would prevent Crystal Bowersox from performing tonight, the 10 male semifinalists will perform this evening, and the 10 female semifinalists will perform tomorrow night.
The 10 remaining guys (Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia, Todrick Hall, Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Alex Lambert, Michael Lynche, John Park, Jermaine Sellers and Tim Urban) will sing live for America’s vote tonight Tuesday, March 2 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
Then, the 10 remaining girls (Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michelle Delamor, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Lilly Scott, Katie Stevens and Haeley Vaughn) will perform live tomorrow night, Wednesday, March 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed).
Tune in the following night to see Season Eight finalist Danny Gokey perform his new single, “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me,” and to find out which two guys and two girls will be eliminated on the live results show Thursday, March 4 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
I don't think they've ever rearranged the entire show just because one person was sick. The idols have had to perform when they had the flu, and when family members were in the hospital.
But for Crystal Bowersox, a judge, producer, and maybe fan favorite it could be a life-saver.
I wonder if Idol would go to all this trouble if Bowersox weren't a favorite.
