American Idol 9: The Top 4 theme is..

Next week, Jamie Foxx mentors the Top 4 as they take on Songs of the Cinema. If you’ll recall, Foxx mentored the Top 5 last year for Rat Pack week.

After the jump, check out the 34-song list the kids will use to pick their songs. Yikes! The theme has potential but the set list is lame. The songs are so played out and are so overdone and cheesy that the judges can only complain about lousy song choices. Seriously.

And Jamie Foxx? What is he selling this year? Really. The only mentor who didn’t come on to sell a new album or other product was Shania Twain, and I would've enjoyed hearing her perform. Why don’t they just do away with the singing competition and just have the Idols do product placement spots for all the guests and mentors that have stuff to sell - interspersed by endless judges’ babbling.

Oh, and do I understand correctly that the Idols will all get to sing only 1 song each and no duet? Wow. American Idol is totally losing it!!
