American Idol 4/6 to 4/7

I imagine that Andrew or Tim will be taking off on Wednesday.

What’s the theme tonight? Who’s the mentor?

Lennon/McCartney is the theme.

And once again, my DVR guide says “American Idol starring Ellen DeGeneres and some other people.”

My son does not want Aaron or Tim to leave.
Me, I really don’t care, right now I just hope for Mike to stay awhile.
I hope they do the songs proud.

TUrban should sing With a Little Help from my Friends because apparently that is the way he is skating through the competiton.

Siobhan should do Helter Skelter.

That would be awesome, but the band would butcher it.

This season is such a damn train wreck … although I am leading in an online pool (not sure how), it’s anyone’s guess who gets voted off. While I’d like to think TUrban finally goes, who the hell knows? Those tweenies can text their asses off.

(Of course, who am I to speak? I bought an AT&T GO phone for the express and only purpose of texting for David Cook. That last night of the show, I had the phone going, texting (after learning the secrets that some Archie fans put out about how to send a bunch of messages at a time) and used the computer to call in votes. I must have looked like a mad woman. It’s the only time I’ve ever done that (or will ever do that) for anyone.)

The world thanks you, Pliny.

Anybody have spoilers for the song list yet?

MJs doesn’t, and I expect if anyone else did MJ would post them, too.

It’s hard to go wrong with John/Paul songs, but I hope nobody does “Let it Be,” and especially hope Crystal doesn’t. I am sure somebody will, of course… and fall far shy of Jennifer Hudson’s recent performance of it on the surprisingly watchable Music for Haiti thing.

I’d like to see somebody do “We Can Work It Out,” or “I’m Looking Through You,” or “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” or “And Your Bird Can Sing,” or “'Til There Was You” or “Across the Universe” or… “Tomorrow Never Knows,” if anyone really has balls. So many great songs that are not “Let it Be” and “Blackbird” and “Yesterday” and the other dozen also great but done-to-death songs.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Idoltown. They’re going to do “And I love her,” and “hey Jude,” and “here There and Everwhere.”

It would be cool to see Siobahn do “Helter Skelter,” though.

Yeah, and she’ll try to put a scream in it… as if a scream belongs in that song. :wink:

I hope Aaron does “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road.”

Sometimes surreal is better than good.

There are some songs that Casey could rock on an electric guitar – “Revolution,” for instance, or “Happiness is a Warm Gun” (actually, the latter would be another cool choice for Siobahn as well).

TUrban always does something that makes him look creepy; whats the creepiest Lennon/McCartney song he could choose?

“Run for Your Life” is pretty creepy.

Since I like trying to figure out songs for people, here’s my choices for everyone:
TUrban - I’ll Keep You Satisfied
Big Mike - In My Life
Katey Stevens - From Me To You
Siobhan - Love Me Do
Crystal - We Can Work it Out
Andrew - Drive My Car
Aaron Kelly - Do You Want To Know A Secret?
Casey - Day Tripper
Lee - Eight Days A Week

Listening to the songs to refresh my memory, it seems like it isn’t fair to have these guys singing Lennon/McCartney songs - such a big part of every song was the harmonies of the two leads.

I had to google that one, and I know my Beatles! Of course it isn’t the Beatles, but it is Lennon/McCartney so it’s eligible, though I doubt it’s on the list.
