American Idol   

American Idol had performances from their top 11 this week and last night it was revealed that Casey Abrams would have been eliminated but the judges used their "save" pass to keep Casey on. All 11 finalists will go on the summer tour and next week's Idol results show will eliminate 2 people.

Members' Picks
The member's picks are songs that were nominated by you for YOU! Member's nominated tons of songs every week, some get used for the hidden song contest, and some go here, to the member's picks section!

1. "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by David Cook. We hear Cook has been really busy working on the new album but has made time to record the farewell song for this season of American Idol and here it is!

2. "Running Back to You" by Matt Wertz, who also has been working on a new album. Weights and Wings came out last Tuesday. 

3. "Not Your Birthday" by Allstar Weekend ft. Anth is last but not least.

I hope y'all enjoy these picks and the rest of the newsletter today.

Happy Friday everyone!

Hidden Song Contest!
Thanks to everyone that participated this week! There were three hidden songs:
  1. "Easy Come, Easy Go" by Sierra Hull 
  2. "How R U Doin'?" by Aqua 
  3. "Push" by Avril Lavigne 
Hope everyone had fun this week and liked the songs!

Let's get ready for the next contest - we need your nominations!! Remember, if we use your song, whether it's in the hidden song contest, or add it to the jukebox as a members' pick just because we want to test whether it has hit potential, you will earn a 25-point reward! So, keeping that in mind, what do you think deserves some jukebox time? A new track from your favorite artist or something you heard on the radio? You can submit your suggestions on our Facebook page or e-mail hiddensong@hitpredictor.com.
