I'm new. With that, my input on the song choices. After some painful research (and I do mean painful - Chicago gives me headache), here's my input. Kris Allen Heaven Still as sappy as I remember. I would prefer "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" (sounds more "adult), but I don't know if that was released in Kris's birth year. But this seems like a safe song choice for Kris. Lil Rounds Let’s Hear It For the Boy Bad song choice. Needs some major remixing, and I haven't heard Lil do that yet this season. This could very well get her in the bottom 2. Adam Lambert Edge of Seventeen There are so many ways he could go with this song. I'm hoping it will focus on his lower register with some soaring falsetto. This could be his "Billie Jean" moment of the season. Scott MacIntyre You’re the Inspiration I'm not a Chicago fan, so this was painful for me to listen to. But because I couldn't stand Peter Cetera's voice. Scott's voice isn't as good as the other Idols, but it doesn't have that whiney undertone like Cetera either. Scott could do well with this. Anoop Desai Who’s Johnny Oh boy. Bad song choice. I see no way Anoop can work this into a good song choice. Hope Anoop goes with something else. Matt Giraud Part Time Lover Dated music, dated lyrics. Hope this pick is wrong. Allison Iraheta Tears in Heaven Good song choice. She has to do it extremely simple though. Danny Gokey Crazy Little Thing Called Love Fun song. Could be good. Queen would seem right up Adam's alley, but this son in particular was in Freddy's lower register so Danny could do quite well with it. You haven’t seen me before on the board. I’m new. With that, my input on the song choices.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I just don't understand what you get from being so relentlessly negative. Why all the Adam bashing? You don’t like the guy; we get it.

"Edge of Seventeen" sounds just like the sort of thing Adam would personally like. It's raw, edgy, etc, all the things the "new" Adam wants to be. Unfortunately, that isn't what he needs to do to win AI. He needs to listen to the fans. What has been his #1 performance this year according to most reviews? TOMT, obviously. Why? Because it showed the beauty of hs voice. THAT'S what America wants.

It's not exactly what I expected (Allison at #6? Nooo!), but I totally agree with Adam and Kris at the top. I want LOW REGISTER for Adam this week, too, or building to high. But he didn't do this last week, and since he keeps switching it up, I hope he shows all of his range this week, because ToMT was mostly falsetto and last week was BIG, but there hasn't really been an Is Anybody Listening week, and I think it's time. The good news is that the contestants had all week to prepare, and probably knew or sensed this week was coming, so have probably been thinking about/researching their choices for a while. This should be a lot stronger than last week, IMO. TV Guide has their power listings; their top 2 is Kris, with Adam as #1, holding a 10 percent lead. It’s not exactly what I expected (Allison at #6?

I wouldn't have thought Idol was up VH1's street, but there you go. I think i must be the only one posting here that really doesn't know Journey. (Hearing DSB on the results show was the first time i had ever heard that song!), but the range seems nice for Adam. I'd prefer if he stuck to something a bit lower in tone this week, more in the lines of Is Anybody Listening, as he does have a really nice lower register and it may help to connect with the audience. I think this year is probably the most open competition that there has been since i started watching the show. IMO there are 5 people who could be in the bottom 3 on wednesday and 4 or 5 who could end up finishing in the top 3. Wow! I wouldn’t have thought Idol was up VH1′s street, but there you go.

VH-1 got in on the act. Go here: http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1608686/20090406/index.jhtml?rsspartner=rssYahooNewscrawler I totally disagree with pretty much everything they say. What do you think? And I would love to see Adam, if not doing Journey (c'mon, Adam!), wear a skinny tie, skinny pants, and black jacket (ala every new wave artist from the 80s, from INXS to Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello to A-Ha). So 80s. :) I want Adam to go up and down again, vocally, and show every bit of his range in his song selection. He doesn't have to wail (or whatever); we already know he can do that. A nuanced song would have the judges standing up and cheering, I guarantee you (except Simon, heh heh).

Hardly anyone cares what anyone else is singing. Adam is the most unpredictable and exciting performer to be on Idol in years! That being said - I want to see vocal prowess here from Adam! I know he has to "build" up to the finale with his song choices, but there are so many wonderful vocal performances on youtube from him that I can't believe he only wants to WAIL and ROCK. I listened to Edge17, and it just doesn't sound like what he would pick - not even vocal variation and range in it. But - who knows? Only a few hours left to speculate!!! Who knew Idol would be this fun this year?? This is amazing – almost every one of these posts is about Adam and what he is going to sing. Hardly anyone cares what anyone else is singing.

And I read that someone in a prior year has performed a previous group song as a solo. Therefore, I'm still holding on to my wish of 'Don't Stop Believin' for Adam. Think about it, he only got to sing two notes at the end, they didn't even let him sing a single word. Maybe it'll happen. We can hope! I’m still thinking this list is not real.

I'm looking forward tonight, i'll be live casting from the UK (if i don't fall asleep before it ends). Does anyone know if there going to be firm song spoilers from the rehearsals this afternoon?

Actually a pretty entertaining list that has had its share of hits and misses. Is just their opinion not really based on any insider info, but they did pick correctly for Adam with Motown week (Tracks of My Tears). http://www.buddytv.com/slideshows/american-idol-8-birth-year-theme-week-song-predictions-117.aspx Just for sport – BuddyTV has Under Pressure as the prediction for Adam, with Delirious by Prince as their personal choice… Actually a pretty entertaining list that has had its share of hits and misses.
