May 5, 2006 - This weekend the four remaining contestants on American Idol will visit Graceland to learn about the King of Rock n' Roll™, Elvis Presley. This fact demonstrates the power that Elvis still has even today, as well as the vast appeal that Stern's ELVIS® Pinball Machine has for both operators and homeowners. 

The American Idol contestants will have to perform two Elvis songs each on the show the following Tuesday, May 8th. The show is carried on the Fox Network every Tuesday and Wednesday of the week.

In the summer of 2002, a British hit called Pop Idol landed on our shores and became not only an instant success, but one of the biggest shows in American television history. The grueling competition has crowned Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia and Carrie Underwood successively, and has grown bigger and bigger each season. Last year, over a billion votes were received throughout the contest, and millions of viewers tuned in to see whether Carrie or Bo would win, making American Idol the #1 show in America. This year, tens of thousands of hopeful singers auditioned in seven cities. There are only four contestants left now.
