In our referrers I noticed a search hit for “American Idol spoiler list,” where we are on the first page of results because after last week’s show I talked of having seen a list of alleged songs in advance, not believed it, and been surprised it was totally accurate.
There is a similar list on the AI newsgroup this week, so for the insatiably curious, I will post it, hidden below the fold for those who don’t wish to be (maybe) spoiled. The post author actually attributes it to a mainstream article this week, rather than inside information as last week’s list apparently was. That article is here and you can see all of them by scrolling the slide show. Or just click to expand this and see the raw info (and let’s not forget my wonderful commentary) below.
Taylor: Jailhouse Rock and In the Ghetto
Both of which I could also see being done by Chris, but great choices by Taylor. He can be goofy and sing badly the first one and everybody will love it. He has an adequate voice to hold still and sing the second one, which is likely to turn out at least, well, adequate.
Chris: Suspicious Minds and A Little Less Conversation
The first is perfect and can really show some range for Chris. The second… blah. Maybe he can make me like the song, which I am sure he will do just fine on, because he is Chris. It’s just that for me the song is a bleh choice.
Elliott: Trouble and If I Can Dream
What and what? Oh wait, I know I have heard the second one, and it’s probably ideal for Elliot to stand and deliver to those who appreciate AI as primarily a singing competition.
Katharine: Hound Dog/All Shook Up and Can’t Help Falling In Love
This week Katharine gets to have me compare her singing to my self-perception of my singing on a favored sing-along song. “Like her votes flow, surely to Daughtry, Katharine we all know, some things aren’t meant to be...” Seriously, though, an interesting selection showing two different sides. I wonder why the medley instead of just Hound Dog or All Shook Up.
Guess we’ll see what happens in a mere matter of hours.
