Refugee 7 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 American Idol producers convinced reluctant rocker Slash to mentor contestants on the TV singing competition by handing over complete control of their upcoming rock-themed week. The former Guns N' Roses star will advise the final four hopefuls on this week' Rock Week. And Slash admits he was a skeptic even after other high-profile entertainers - including moviemaker Quentin Tarantino and actor/singer Jamie Foxx - served as mentors this season. He writes on his MySpace.com blog: "I was reluctant at 1st, but they offered me the freedom to do it however I wanted. More importantly, there are a few singers this year who are really impressive. It's the 1st time any AI line-up has really caught my attention... Those AI kids can sing their a**es off." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echosoftom 3 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 ^ Sierra, he's my favorite too. His renditions of Smokey Robinson's 'Tracks Of My Tears' and Yvonne Elliman's 'If I Can't Have You' was brilliant! I can't wait to see how Slash works with the contestants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
