Aha! I beat you all this week.
I see on TWoP that the theme (unconfirmed) is 60’s music. Don’t know too many of the actual song choices, but do hear Scott will sing Sam Cooke (for which he gets taste point, I love Sam Cooke). This gives Constantsleaze the chance to puke all over Jim Morrison.
Constantine couldn’t even pull off a credible Jim Morrison, and I’m no fan of Jim Morrison’s singing. Personally, I assume they’ll all play it fairly safe and predictable (though we had Otis and Aretha already last week), except Anwar (who I’ve thought was the best since his audition) - maybe he’ll do a jazzed-out version of “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” or something. Bo, I’m sure, will have no trouble picking some shitty classic hard rock song to suit him. As for the rest: I can’t even remember their names.
Nikko must have been rehearsing non-stop in the what, twenty-six hours notice he had?
I’m pretty sure the show doesn’t have the rights to any Beatles songs. And a lot of late-sixties stuff is focused on the band, not the singer. Come to think of it, what kind of genre is “the '60s”? Early sixties? Psychedelia? Folk? Motown’s heyday was in the sixties, and don’t we get enough of that already? In ten years, so many different genres were represented, I can’t see how this will be much different from the mishmash we got in the semis.
I don’t know if this is true or not, but just in case, I’ll put it in a spoiler. This is supposed to be what they all sing.
[spoiler]
Jessica Sierra-Don’t know the name of the song.
Anwar- A house is not a home
Mikalah: “Son of a Preacher Man”
Constantine: “You Make Me So Very Happy”
Lindsey “Knock on Wood”
Anthony “Breaking up is hard to do”
Nadia “You don’t have to say you love me.”
Bo “Spinning Wheel”
Vonzell-Don’t know
Scott “Aint too Proud to Beg”
Carrie: “When Will You Love Me”
Nikko “I Want You Back”[/spoiler]
I got this list from another MB.
You know, this is actually doable–U2 pulled it off…
Mikalahaha keeps picking songs I really like and butchering them. Please let this be her last week.
Its not a contest, you know. You are a wee bit early don’t ya think?
No, they should sing these songs because I said so. See my sig for my authority on this matter.
Constantine–Neil Diamond’s Holly Holy. Because he knows deep down, he really wants to be Neil Diamond.
Anthony Fedorov-- An Old Fashion Love Song, 3 Dog Night-- He could really boyband this song up. With Mario gone, he’s boybandoms only hope.
Bo Bice-- Rolling Stones’ Jumpin Jack Flash. My only fear is that the studio band will play it like a talk show band. We can all hope the studio drummer will hit the drum hard enough.
Carrie Underwood-- She must do Patsy Cline. I think she’d kick ass with I Fall to Pieces.
Jessica Sierra-- Supreme’s Can’t Hurry Love. Because it’s a popular song and she probably knows how to sing it. Really, who is she again? The boobs girl, right.
Lyndsey Cardinall-- Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye. With that throaty, husky voice she could really deliver on this one.
Mikalah Gordon (is that how you really spell it?)-- Dowtown by Petula Clark. Because Petula is one of the people she’s trying to be.
Nadia Turner-- You Sexy Thing, Hot Chocolate. This may be very early '70s but I’d love to hear what she could do with this song.
Nikko Smith-- Sly and the Family Stone’s Everyday People. It’s a good song within his range.
Scott Savol–Sam Cooke’s Cupid. He sings like an angel-- he could sing about a winged creature. And the subject matter will just break the hearts of his many fans. Me, I just like hearing him sing.
Vonzell Solomon-- Sam & Dave’s When Something is Wrong With My Baby. She could sing the shit out of this song.
Anwar Robinson-- Smokey & The Mircle’s Oh, Baby.---- Sigh
That sounds like the native call of the loser 
:D*
I rather like Biggirl’s suggestions, even if she’s cheating and finding songs that might actually suit Constantcheese and MikalahlalaI’mnotlistening. The point is for them to choose wrong and leave, dear. And spare the feelings of Neil Diamond. He gets a hard enough rap already.
I guess they’re easing into the themes, because “60s” is really just too wide. It’s still an open choice night.
*(maybe enough smilies will show that I mean this as the most lighthearted joke possible. Really, no offense intended.)
Pick one, Eggy. Either “It’s not a contest,” or “you cheated!” You can’t do both.
And, as OMD siad: 
On another note, is it just me or is Mikalah (sp) a Barbara Streisand a male impersonator look-a-like. My wife and I see this in all her performances.
Yup, definitely a great Drag Queen impersonator. Though that’s the only instance in which you’ll hear me use “great” and “Mikalah” in the same breath (except maybe “it’s great that that hideous banshee Mikalah is finally cut.”)
And though she’s my favorite female in the competition, I really must say that Nadia (sorry, but this is the only picture I can find not on the official site, where linking’s impossible) bears much more than a passing resemblance to Tim Curry as Frank N Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Apologies if this double posts, the hamsters look to be getting set for their lunch break.
Out of curiosity, whose “version” of the cited song is Lindsey supposed to sing? Hopefully not the one I am thinking of, which is the kick-ass-killer Amii Stewart disco version, because (1) it’s a disco song, and so it can’t even be loosely grouped into a '60’s category (unless you use the explanation that some disco artists didn’t know that '60’s were over yet, on account of consuming and/or ingesting so many contraband substances in the actual '60’s); and (2) ain’t no way in hell that Lindsey will be able to pull it off. So I wonder whose version she’s attempting? Do you know?
What I’m really interested in is the always horrendous group sing on Wednesday. I can’t imagine how ridiculous Bo, Constantine, and Scott are going to look prancing around the stage.
It’ll be fun to see who can and can’t dance as well. If the little “next time on AI” clips are any indication, we have approximately zero good dancers on our hands. I can’t wait to see Mikalah’s lips move while counting out her steps a la the Spice Girls on SNL.
And good suggestions Biggirl. Didn’t someone sing Let’s Get It On already though? I was somewhat surprised to hear that on our little “family show.” Of course, its content is no more concerning than Ryan’s incessant gay/sex life jokes about Simon, so I suppose it’s fair game.
We call her the Dixie Chick, 'cause she looks like a neckless Natalie Maines (or whatever the lead singer’s name is).
Nah, I seem to recall Clay Aiken fucking up “Here, There And Everywhere” or something.
Anyway, I don’t think they have to pay for rights, just royalties. Any band/artist can cover another artist’s songs whether they have permission or not, as long as they pay royalties.
This statement oesn’t make sense. You could’ve started it Friday if you wished, I can’t see the point though. Theres no rule on when to start, so how could anyone cheat? 
They have to prance while they sing?
I’m going with Biggirl on this, boob girl is just too perfect a moniker.
I believe in past seasons that “Sixties Night” did indeed turn into a Motown songfest. And you’re right–we get plenty of that already. Maybe Bo and Constipated will mix it up a little.
And I’ll bet that in a few weeks they’ll do a real “Motown Night” and we’ll have to hear a lot of the same shit all over again, just not by the same contestants.
That’s how it’s been done in the past, IIRC.
Speaking of monikers, does anyone think it would be funny to call Scott “Rachel.” You know, a white Ruben? I know it’s stupid, but…
