I wonder how the remaining finalists will do this year. I mean, inspirational songs night always reminds me of the poor David Cook and his palm-writing and his sad, earnest face - thanks for the great studio version of Innocent because somehow it redeemed his lackluster live performance.
I saw the list of songs the Idols will choose for next week and I'm surprised that there are some actual good relatively current songs on this list, mixed in among the usual cheesy dreck.
Please stay away from ANYTHING sung by Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Debby Boone, Bette Midler or Barbra Streisand. Way too much cheese and bombast in most of those songs. Oh and anything by Creed - Yes Lee, I’m looking at you on that last one.
LOL at some Idol coronation songs! Yikes! Somehow I doubt anyone will pick any of those or even Live Like We're Dying, which is too damn difficult to sing - Kris is great at it, but he’s got a lot of practice!
