Adam was told over the weekend he could not perform the song of his choosing. As of Monday night he still did not have a song. This info is from a post by a fellow Wicked cast member. We don’t know yet what song he wanted to sing… Same old crap from AI….

oh please be wrong about “All By Myself” for Adam; it’s just too sappy! He knows how important song choice is so I have to have faith that he’ll pick something just great; we’d love to hear him sing “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes – he nailed that on his videos. “Without You” is one of my all time favorites, the Nilson version – so touching & Adam could pull it off! should be a fun night!

Adam will do amazing with whatever song he picks but I’d love it if he did “Without You”. That song would suit his voice well. I think he’d nail it. “Against All Odds” would be another good choice for him. And I’m also SO excited for Nick! Haha – love him! Cannot wait!

That rumored list actually seems real. They all match the little riddles given earlier this week.

Yea, Adam. He’s gotta prove himself vocally now. Also don’t forget sometimes they can’t get like ANY damn song approved. I think Adam is totally marketable. But for now he’s gotta tone it down to get the middle America vote.

I like Without You! Clay Aiken has sang the ish out of it.. I could see All My Myself too. I just think he’d pick something more.. rockish?

I think he’s just trying to show his voice enough to get in the Top 12. After that we’ll get to see more personality, hopefully he’ll glam it up more. Just my opinion of course for me too.

All of the rumored song choices for Adam just make me think…hmm…how would he ever be a mainstream artist? Just my opinion of course…

Sea of Love

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Love_(song)I just read that Robert Plant started the group the Honeydippers, they only recorded 2 songs as that group. They formed it because they wanted to play some heavy R&B music but it really didn’t take off. “Sea of Love” is a re-recording of an old song and as you can see by the link, it was covered a lot.

Everything about this song fits the clues, and given the History of the song itself bodes well for Normund. He is that R&B guy!

This is enough of that I promise. I just didn’t think Crying really fit Normund or Nick. IT just wasn’t him you know? *shrugs* I could be wrong.

We will all find out later tonight! Unless Joe gets some fantastic spoilers early. I’ll be watching throughout the day. Thanks much, Joesplace.

True Colors would be so much better than Mariah or Celine. At least Adam has us guessing!

i love that song!!! (sea of love) AND… it kinda does fit the clues. it is a standard, and it has to do with salt: the sea is made of salt water. kinda works. lmao. and i could totally picture nick singing this.

The song was a #1 Billboard Hit for Cyndi and I believe it was #2 for Phil Collins as well.

Here is a link to “True Colors”

VFTW mentioned that one of Adam’s choices could be “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper and then covered by Phil Collins. I listened to the song again and I forgot how beautiful it is and how much I loved it! OMG, if Adam did this song, I would die happy. Such a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning. Very fitting for him and subtle at the same time.

I would take this song over the Celine or Mariah cover anyday. Please let it be “True Colors”!

He’s should sing “Tears of a Clown” as Normund

Here is a link to Robert Plant singing “Sea of Love”

I have this song by him on my PC and listen to it often.

I love sea of love, listen to Robert Plants version. It’s absouletly a great song. I just hope Nick can sing it well. If he is indeed doing “Sea of Love” then Nick isn’t going to do it as Normund, he is going straight on this one.

[...] Giraud, Meghan Corkrey, Mishavonna Henson, Nick Mitchell, Norman Gentle, Normund Gentle | From Joe’s Place. Still a rumor, but I couldn’t resist a chance to add [...]

JP, “Sea of Love” does fit the clues. It was the title of a big Al Pacino movie from the 80’s. Ellen Barkin and John Goodman co-star. One of my favorites, actually. Plus, it has been covered by everyone from Tom Waits (my fave) to IZ Kamakawiwo’ole. It was the first thing I thought of too, Lera.

I have two favorite songs over the past 6 months. “Time of my Life” and “Viva la Vida”.

Cook was my favorite last year.

Giraud is my favorite this year. Therefore, “Viva la Vida” sounds okay with me. GO MATT!!

You ARE the only one I care about this season

By: PETER

PETER — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 01:47:08 +0000

So Nick is singing Puttin on the Ritz.
Jasmine is singing Take A Bow.
Matt is singing Viva La Vida.
But what is Adam Singing, Is it All By Myself or All By Myself? I still don’t understand the clue. JoesPlace can you give us another clue for Adam?PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

By: Erika

Erika — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 01:42:42 +0000

“All Coming Back To Me” would be an interesting song choice for Adam. David Hernandez sang that last year and did a pretty good job. Not sure why people are so apprehensive about “All By Myself” though. Adam has incredible rang and this song is really challenging. I think he could establish himself as one of the best singers this season with that song.

Nick — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:12:22 +0000

What clues doesn’t it fit?

By: Joes Place

Joes Place — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:08:54 +0000

There’s no way it’s Sea of Love. It does not fit the clues

By: Nick

Nick — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:04:53 +0000

All signs point toward “Sea of Love”

By: Nick

Nick — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:03:54 +0000

Nick is not singing “Ritz”…guaranteed.

By: Jason

Jason — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:45:02 +0000

I think Adam could be singing these songs:

“Without You” _Mariah Carey, Harry Neilson
“All By Myself”- Celine Dion, Eric Carmen (I think it will be this one)
“Cryin’” -Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison

Nelson will probably sing “Puttin’ on the Ritz” by Taco
Jazmine is obviously doing “Take A Bow” by Rihanna

By: Peter

Peter — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:26:10 +0000

Was the Puttin on the Ritz song ever in a movie and was it covered alot.

My thought: Do NOT pick a song that another singer did really well. Comparisons will abound. Be careful about songs that are out RIGHT NOW (Coldplay, Rhianna), b/c, again, comparisons will abound. Pick songs that are typical of your style, with maybe an interpretation but don’t go pick something totally unsuitable (e.g., Casey singing Every Little Thing (He) Does is Crazy–not a smart move). It’s tough to pick a song that will highlight everything you want, especially without a backing band OR an instrument, but it’s possible. As long as it showcases your style and your highlights, it should work out. I think it’s tricky to get too interpretive this soon (so you wonder about Matt doing Viva La Vida, more b/c it’s out now than b/c he can do cool things with it ).

I would love to hear Meatloaf! But if I hear any Mariah or Whitney or Leona…ugh. What about Britney or Christina? (Just to change up things.) And if you choose Michael Bolton (Matt B.), you have already taken yourself out of the competition, IMO. *yawn* I really don’t think he will make it out of this round, the way Michael did last week. There are just too many other strong singers, and I think America will go, Oh, no, look what happened (no Anoop, no Ricky, no Ann Marie, etc.) and will pick up the phone.

I think that the song list just took the clues from EW, guessed for themselves and then put some random ones in for other ones, but who knows. We all laughed at last weeks list before it was confirmed.

By: Lera

Lera — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:54:29 +0000

I do not see Nick singing “Crying” that is just not for nick or normund. He will do a soulful type song, I liked Sitting on the dock of the bay suggestion, but “sea of love” was in a film, and sung by contestants in the past. And for Normunds routine I think “Margaritaville” would be in play.

I have no idea but “Crying” just doesn’t fit.

Kris has nothing on Adam. He’s the best singer AI has ever seen.

By: Missy

Missy — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:21:03 +0000

I’d much prefer “Without You” to “All by Myself” not that I like either one really.

By: Joes Place

Yes, I posted it here a couple of weeks ago.
