American Idol Calendar

April 2009

The competition heats up in April on Idol, and memorable moments are made. This is the month when Idol Gives Back is held. Shocking eliminations in April include Michael Johns, Jennifer Hudson, and Carly Smithson. Idol history was made in April when the judges used the first ever “save” on Matt Giraud. Fantasia found luck in April with her performance of “Summertime” and her Broadway debut. David Cook and Adam Lambert received rare standing ovations from the judges in April, and Kelly Clarkson, Danny Gokey, and Allison Iraheta are some of the powerful voices that were born this month.
