He could really make that song his own with his voice range. I have to stay with my Seattle roots here. For Allison, Somebody Bring Me Some Water by Melissa Ethridge.

I've looked for songs that would allow him to use the full range of his voice, and still retain the original melody and mood of the songs...in other words, all he has to do is sing any one of them 'as is' and he will be amazing: Piece of My Heart - Janis joplin White Wedding - Billy Idol Teen Spirit - Nirvana Walk this Way/Dream On - Aerosmith Sweet Child Of Mine/Welcome to the Jungle - GnR Wild Horses - Rolling Stones Layla - Eric Calpton version Break on Through - The Doors I know, most are 'old' songs, but these are the ones that came to mind when I consider Adam's range and ability to make old things seem new again.

Classic Rock this time - Whatever the hell that means. So after due consideration of all options (and with my opinion of Journey well documented in previous posts) I have to SECOND THE SUGGESTION ABOVE. HOT BLOODED by Foreigner. Preferably performed glammed out to the max with glittery boots platform boots and flames shoot from him head. Thank you.

Perfect for him and perfect for a Rock and Roll ballad. I also thought of "It's a Man's World" and watched that video a couple times today! But I have changed my mind on the more upbeat song. I'd like to hear him sing "Under Pressure" Queen/Bowie. Great song name for his present situation too! Adam fans............VOTE,VOTE,Vote I agree with Bob on Adam singing “Yesterday”.

“Hurt,” nine inch nails

Kris could conceivably kill the Johnny Cash version, while Adam could have another “Mad World” moment with the original.

I hope Adam's fanbase can carry him over the finish line, but lot of people seem to be gunning for him, which I find weird, because he seems inoffensive to me.

Instead of claiming victory, he said: "I think we have only wakened a sleeping giant and filled him with terrible resolve..." I think this is what Idol's gamesmanship with Adam last night has done to his fan base. We are PISSED and we are gonna VOTE ANGRY. It's not just that they played games with the numbers, putting Adam in the bottom 2 (I mean, c'mon, it's just too damned convenient), but they had to humiliate him with the whole guessing his group thing. I mean, that was some heartless bullsh*t there. Still, it may be the one thing that actually ends up winning the competition for Adam. We are now "filled with a terrible resolve". I can’t help but think of the words of General Yamamoto after the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Instead of claiming victory, he said:

“I think we have only wakened a sleeping giant and filled him with terrible resolve…”

I think this is what Idol’s gamesmanship with Adam last night has done to his fan base. We are PISSED and we are gonna VOTE ANGRY.

It’s not just that they played games with the numbers, putting Adam in the bottom 2 (I mean, c’mon, it’s just too damned convenient), but they had to humiliate him with the whole guessing his group thing. I mean, that was some heartless bullsh*t there.

Still, it may be the one thing that actually ends up winning the competition for Adam.

We are now “filled with a terrible resolve”.

Space Odddity- Never been done before, probably never be done again (except by Adam who is the only one who can do this and do it right). Changes - So many possibilites to play with on this song. Rebel, Rebel - Who else but Adam can sing this and mean it. Under Pressure - orig include Freddie Mercury Modern Love - simply a favorite David Bowie.

It would really allow him to be in his element but also show an emotional, vulnerable side. I think Kris would do so well with While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but the Across the Universe version.

Ok - fine then I go back to my point about how much MORE mainstream could he have been. Aside from Mad World, and maybe PTFMWB pretty much all his songs have been well known in the mainstream, so I guess I am just not getting what you mean by mainstream. Am always happy to be enlightened. Wow – get up on the wrong side of the bed much. Ok – fine then I go back to my point about how much MORE mainstream could he have been.

HNN (because the Adam is built in)- Bittersweet Symphony by Verve (because he already went all rocked out on BTbW) and of course Guns and Roses would be too obvious. Refuse to do two until I know they are doing two. Let’s try a more MODERN list. 2000’s is probably asking too much so see what you all make of this list of top Rock songs of 1990’s.

http://digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/best_songs90s.html

From this list:

Puppies and Rainbows can Mraz his little self all over- Smooth by Santana
Pebbles can growl through- Ironic by Alanis Morrisette
Gokey can get all Pokey over- Losing my religion by REM (too easy) or Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton because we haven’t had that reference for a week or two.
HNN (because the Adam is built in)- Bittersweet Symphony by Verve (because he already went all rocked out on BTbW) and of course Guns and Roses would be too obvious.

Refuse to do two until I know they are doing two.

Ok so Mad World was not super well known to Top 40 listening masses but come on - aren't you talking about watering down his presentation to make it more "acceptable" to the masses and IMHO that is a lose lose. The ones who hate you will always not matter what if he didn't get em with IICHY and ToMT adding Dust in the Wind on the pile isn't going to make a damn bit of difference. All he does is allienate the people who love and adore his fabulous glam next generation new wave self.

As i can't imagine how much filler there would need to be if there were only going to be 4 performances in 1 hour Ok so if they have to pick from the list these are my ideas

Adam-Whole Lotta Love, Back In Black (i just love this song though it’s probably not for Idol), When Doves Cry, Sweet Child Of Mine, All Along The Watchtower
Allison-Son Of A Preacher Man, One Way Or Another, Somebody To Love, Boys Of Summer
Kris-Layla, Moondance, With A Little Help From My Friends, Roxanne

Is it 100% confirmed that they are definetly singing 2 songs next week? As i can’t imagine how much filler there would need to be if there were only going to be 4 performances in 1 hour
