Adam Lambert on American Idol tonight!!

American Idol: Adam Lambert mentors tonight for likely Elvis theme

Adam Lambert will mentor the top nine "American Idol" contestants tonight for a reported Elvis theme week. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Two "Idol" singers will go home on Wednesday. The double elimination is due to the judges' decision to use their one-time "save" on Michael Lynche last week.

Lambert placed second on the previous season of "Idol." Ken Warwick, executive producer of "Idol," is making waves online today for his comments to Entertainment Weekly regarding Lambert's mentor role. Here's an excerpt from the EW interview:

EW: Okay, so how are you feeling about the show overall? There’s obviously been criticism that season 9 got off to a sleepy start. Do you think having Adam Lambert come in this week is going to shake things up and infuse the show with that added bit of drama that he generally manages to bring to the screen?

Warwick: I sincerely hope so. Because the guy is an incredible talent, and he had an incredible following. And it kind of upsets me that at the moment he’s not doing quite as well… [Pauses.] I don’t know what possessed him to do what he did at the AMAs, but he’s still struggling to live it down. And everybody says to me every week, ‘When are you gonna bring back Adam?’ They want to see him as he was. And hopefully we’re gonna do that for him this week, and we can start putting him back firmly where he belongs, as a major star. Because the guy is an incredible talent. He genuinely is. And it kind of breaks my heart to see someone with that much talent struggle a bit. So hopefully we can do back for him as he can do for us.

Tonight's "Idol" is approximately 90 minutes. The spring installment of "Glee" premieres at 9:28 p.m. on Fox.
