    To paraphrase you, why are there celebrity guest duets during “Idol’s” top 20 round?

    That’s the contestants’ chance to qualify for the top 14, not to be overshadowed and possibly undermined by publicity seeking professionals.

    It’s also a way that the judges/producers can stack the deck for the semifinalists they want, not who are the most deserving.
