AMERICAN IDOL: Randy Jackson. CR: Michael Becker / FOX

Randy Jackson, with his trademark “dawg,” “yo yo yo” and “in it to win it” catch phrases, doesn’t give the American Idol contestants the most salient advice, even though he’s a Grammy Award-winning producer. Still, he’s a music industry vet and he knows what these Idol hopefuls need to do tonight. Former Idol finalist Adam Lambert is the mentor on tonight’s episode (Fox, 8 pm et/pt) (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR TO HEAR RANDY JACKSON)
