Surprise Twist on Last Night's AMERICAN IDOL

Last night on AMERICAN IDOL, it was announced that the final four contestants - Amber Holcomb, Angie Miller, Kree Harrison and Candice Glover - will all get another shot at performing for America next Wednesday, May 1 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. America's votes from last night's performance show will be combined with votes from next week's performance show, giving them an extra week to WOW the judges and the viewers at home, to land a coveted Top 3 spot!

Thanks to AT&T, one of this week's performance themes was a first for AMERICAN IDOL, because viewers were able to help determine what musical theme they would like to see on the show. The AT&T IDOL Theme was announced as "One Hit Wonders" and included such hits as "Cry Me A River," "MacArthur Park" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale."

Don't miss the live results show, Thursday, May 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), when the final three remaining female powerhouses will be revealed.

Also on last night's results show, Season 10 finalist Stefano Langone performed his new single, "Yes To Love" and Season Nine winner Lee DeWyze performed his new single, "Silver Lining."
