March 23, 2010 American Idol

Teen idol Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, 17, is going to give the "American Idol" singers a little advice.

Cyrus will bring her voice of experience as a guest mentor on the show this week, Reuters reports, and will coach the remaining 11 contestants as they sing songs from Billboard's #1 hits.

She will also perform on Wednesday night's results show, along with her Disney Channel cohorts, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato.

"American Idol" was originally going to go with a "Teen Idol" theme this week, but it was decided to broaden it to include Billboard's top hits, FOX network said Monday in a statement.
