This week there was no bottom three announced, only who was safe until the end.
Rock Week the results kicked off with the mentor Slash joining the Idols for the group sing-a-long. The five rocked out to "School's Out" by Alice Cooper. Slash looked like gentleman of rock decked out in his top hat.
The contestants took a few moments to reflect on their performances, Danny said that when he watched a replay of his rendition of "Dream On" he laughed at his attempt to scream at the end of "Dream On". He added that with that scream he made a name for himself.
After seven plus season on "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul took the stage to perform her new single "I'm Just Here". Last season Abdul and Randy Jackson performed on "American Idol" via a video. A former Los Angeles Lakers dancer, Paula launched a solo career that sold over 53 million records.

Once Chris finished singing, this season's Kris brought out a plaque denoting Daughtry's debut album has sold five million copies world wide. Daughtry hopes to repeat his success with his new album "Leave This town" due out in July.
