In a surprise this evening, four American Idol wild cards were selected instead of the expected 3, making for a lucky for some 13 contestants competing to be this years American Idol.

Jasmine Murray. Megan Joy Corkrey, Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai were chosen by the American Idol judges to advance in the competition and join Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Scott MacIntyre, Jorge Nuñez, Lil Rounds and Michael Sarver next Tuesday for the serious part of the competition.

The first live results show March 11 will feature Kelly Clarkson performing her new single My Life Would Suck Without You, and Mr. Ego himself Kanye West singing (well, if you can call it that), Heartless. Lets hope for the sake of television viewers everywhere that West lip syncs, we wouldn’t want a repeat of his recent SNL appearance.
