I liked Dolly week. I thought they all did pretty good. On the whole I thought they handled it better than they did the Beatles. I hate to say it but I thought Kriste may have been the worst of the bunch. Whats with the floor length dress? Oh well. I enjoy this stuff. Of course I come from a time when music had a melody.
American Idol Season 7
- Thread starter BleedDodgerBlue
- Start date
Idol Gives Back Week. I remember enjoying last year's show - if you can get past all the predictability, there were some good performances by the people on the show. I guess they are going to also have the Elite Eight perform, at some point this week and the elimination show is Thursday? Don't know. But the topic is, Inspirational songs. I posted this from one of the Spoiler sites, the person put some possible songs on the list - no idea what they will actually do, but this week should allow some personal choices and responsibility to come to the forefront.

Another quick rumor...

Song Spoilers for American Idol's Top 8
As I say every time song spoilers are circulating around the internet, take 'em with a grain of salt. Heck, last week Entertainment Weekly posted a list that was completely wrong, so we won't know for sure what the American Idol Top 8 will be singing until tonight's show.
Having said that, here are a few rumors floating around...
David Cook -- "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace
David Archuleta -- "Angels" by Robbie Williams
more to come...

If I remember correctly, last year the big surprise on elimination night was nobody was eliminated. They said it wasn't right to eliminate someone on Idol Gives Back week, I wonder if they will do the same this year?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly they eliminated 2 the following week and counted the votes from both weeks...

IZ is fantastic. RIP
to even compare him to that fairy wanna be fake poser stoner is crazy.
You sound like you have a wide range of music knowledge.
What did you think about michael johns performance ?
Sounded to me like the song was to big for him or he just didn't hit it tonight.
and is it me or is Paula useless as a judge :shrug:
on tivo, so will let you know in a bit
i can assure you it will be about a 1/3 as good as steven tyler at best though
theres only 4 people that have really made an absolute mark on the music world from this show and that's if you lump in clay aiken with underwood, clarkson, and daughtry. i don't think theres a contestant this year that will do much.
and yes, paula is useless as a judge, so is randy, and so is seacrest as a host. simon cowell is the only one who has any clue about whats going on.

Of course. The wife.
