On Tuesday, April 29 (8:00-9:02 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the Top 5 finalists (Brooke White, David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado) will return to the Idol stage to perform the music of Neil Diamond.

Tune in the following night to see a live performance of “Amazing Grace” by superstar Neil Diamond, as well as Natasha Bedingfield perform her hit “Pocket Full of Sunshine.” Find out who receives enough votes to stay in the competition and who must go home on the results show Wednesday, April 30 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

Neil Diamond is one of the most successful pop music performers in the history of music with more than 125 million records sold worldwide, 15 Top Ten albums and 37 Top Ten singles. His work has been celebrated over the past four decades with 12 Grammy nominations and four Golden Globes. He has also been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Columbia Records recently announced a May 6 release date for Diamond’s “Home Before Dark,” the highly anticipated new album from the legendary singer-songwriter. A compelling collection of honest, passionate songs, “Home Before Dark” finds the iconic artist reuniting with acclaimed producer Rick Rubin. The album follows the Rubin-produced “12 Songs,” which entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 4, Diamond’s highest-charting debut yet. The disc was hailed by Newsweek as “the best work Diamond has done in 30 years.” The Grammy-winning, record-breaking performer will kick off a world tour this summer, performing to audiences of all ages and selling-out performances across the globe.

With over 6 million units shifted worldwide, Natasha Bedingfield is the U.K.’s biggest female pop star. Bedingfield became somewhat of an overnight success in Europe and the U.K. in 2004 with the release of her debut, “Single.” Her sophomore album, “Unwritten,” and the smash hit “These Words” both topped the charts. With nearly 2 million downloads of her single “Unwritten,” Bedingfield became the first British female to score a No. 1 on the U.S. billboard pop chart in 19 years since Kim Wilde and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.” “Love Like This,” which features Sean Kingston, is the first single from Natasha’s forthcoming album, “Pocketful of Sunshine.”
