Director Quentin Tarantino will mentor the seven remaining American Idol finalists for next week’s "Idols at the Movies" performance night. Tarantino was famously a guest judge on the third season of Idol. Next week’s results show will feature Oscar winner and former Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson and Hannah Montana: The Movie star Miley Cyrus as guest performers.

American Idol: Quentin Tarantino is next week’s mentor and I couldn’t be more thrilled
Okay, nothing against Tarantino, but why are they having him as a mentor again? Is he buds with one of the producers or something? I thought the point of the mentors was to have, you know, musicians give the kids advice. Does Tarantino have an album that I don’t know about? Seriously, I’m asking.
Well, the theme is movie music, and QT is a filmmaker. Though it would seem to make more sense to have an actual musician, instead of a director. Surely they could’ve gotten someone who’s either written memorable songs for movies, or has sung them? The choice is a little weird, just as it was last time. Maybe he has a movie coming out soon.
The amazing Jennifer Hudson and the pathetic Miley Cyrus performing on the same show??
That is SO many ways of wrong that gives me hives.
REAL MUSICAL PERFORMERS/ARRANGERS/COMPOSERS please. This year’s Idols are bed enough without losing the opportunity to work with someone that can actually help their performances.
Well, from what I can recall, his comments were concise and useful…as opposed to a seal clapping former lakers girl who shall remain nameless…
Judging by the soundtracks to QT’s films, he’s a better judge of musical talent than any judge that lousy show’s ever had.
Hey, if there’s something that Tarantino knows how to do supremely well in films, it’s scoring. His soundtracks are always fantastic and filled with little known song gems, and the music always fits the film well.
Jennifer Hudson should be the mentor. she’s enormously successful and she’s been in there shoes.
I am glad they are having him back.He was spot on last time and far better than a lot of mentors{who have a career in music},QT makes movies that are complete only with the music soundtracks added.GO ADAM LAMBERT!!!!
He’s my favorite Idol guest judge ever – I think it’s a great idea
EWWWWWWWWWWWW HANNAH MONTANA!
When is Miley going to hit the rehab trail and GO AWAY?!? I can’t stand the fact that Idol has joined the pimping parade of her, furthering the perception that she has talent and should be heard. I’d rather have Megan and Scott back for a duet of Endless Love than have to suffer through Ms Cyrus. Ryan will be kissing her fat arse big time.
I agree with ‘Big idol fan’- loved Quentin T as a judge many years ago! I know he’ll bring his enthusiasm for all that is AI to the show.
Quentin probably agreed because he wanted to bang Megan. Now he’s stuck with Lil and jailbait Alison
Tarantino was surprisingly one of my favorite guest mentors, so I’m looking forward to next week’s show. He really seemed into contributing to the process in a meaningful way and he took the task seriously. Maybe they can get rid of Paula for the week and he can be the fourth judge.
