David Cook: Kentucky Woman or Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon
Archie: Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show
Brooke & Jason: no idea!
NO ONE should sing “Sweet Caroline”
I love “Cherry, Cherry” but don’t think that’s a good fit for anyone necessarily…
Archie should do “Shiloh”, he’s still young enough to have an imaginary friend.
I know you keep using the Bambi clips to mock Brooke, but they just make me love her more.
The “rocker” on Canadian Idol did “Forever in Blue Jeans” at his audition and it was actually pretty good -therefore I’d say a good choice.

I LOVE the Idolotry video. First with all the robots for KLC – and now Bambi and the Teletubbies. HILARIOUS! Neil Diamond is a great songwriter – but I agree – this close to the end the contestants should be able to pick more modern songs. I did love Andrew Lloyd Weber week – but I always love anything from Broadway musicals. It shows who can really sing and if they can truly “act” the lyrics of a song.
Seriously, I too was upset that Carly was kicked off before Brooke, but at least start getting over it. You’re pushing Carly just like the show producers are pushing Archuleta . . . and no one likes to be pushed.
It would be cool to hear any of these:
A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
Solitary Man
Shilo
Kentucky Woman
Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show
Holly Holy
Longfellow Serenade
David Cook-Solitary Man
Brook-I am I said
Jason-Thank the Lord for the Nighttime
Archie-I’m a Believer
Saleisha-Little Bit You, Little Bit Me
I would enjoy hearing any of these:
Solitary Man
Shilo
Brooklyn Roads
Love on the Rocks
Evermore
Thank The Lord For The Night Time
You Got To Me
Play Me
Delirous Love
If You Know What I Mean
Lordy
Stones
Walk on Water
The Boat That I Row
Whomever came up with the idea of using a Teletubby to represent Archie is BRILLIANT.
def Love on the Rocks
This is much harder to do than it looks. Here’s my guesses for them:
I’m a Believer or A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You- Jason
Forever in Blue Jeans – Brooke
Solitary Man or I Am I Said- David C
Heartlight or Song Sung Blue- Syesha
America or Play Me- David A.
I would like to thank my mother for knowing way too much about Neil Diamond and the Beatles.
Am I the only one who really wants to hear “Crunchy Granola Suite”?
Idolatry has been such a laugh and the most honest commontary on AI 2007.Thanks for supporting Carly. Sorry all you teenie wennies and narrow minded she’s the real deal!
Saliesha-She will take Broadway by storm!At least it’s by choice and not because she can’t find any other work.
Brook-Has the potential to bring back the earthy sounds remmenicent of Carly Simon.But she better get a backbone if she wants to surrvive.
Jason-I don’t think cares so why should I!
David C.-A chamelion of sorts.Of those left he has the greatist potential.
David A.-Great voice but he needs to grow up fast to survive his fifteen minutes of fame ! Otherwise we’re going to see a Muchaley Caulken meltdown.
We already know who’s going to wear the crown this year so who cares what they sing…….
Are they only singing one song each this week? I hope’s it two – otherwise it will be a looooonnnnggggg show.
Jason – Play Me
Brooke – September Morn
David Cooke – A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
David Archuleta – Heartlight (I know Neil didn’t write it but he did sing it)
Syesha – Thank the Lord for the Nighttime
It’s amazing how many song of Neil’s I know – even though my mother was a “diamondhead” – and listened to him over and over again – he still had a lot of popular/recognizable songs throughout the decades. Good for Idol for choosing a different (not so obvious) mentor.
hate to break it to you, slezak, but carly was gonna do “sweet caroline” if she stayed. i, for one, am extremely upset at the loss of the possibility of hearing carly sing a love song leaning ballad (it would have been her, a piano, and a cello) about another woman. or maybe that is just my crazy lesbianic brain dreamin’ away yet again.
we miss you carly! and by we, i mean me and itunes, ’cause they won’t be getting any more money out of me this idol season.
DC – Play Me, Solitary Man, Holly Holy
DA – I’m a Believer, Holly Holy
Jason – Stones or Red, Red Wine (UB40’s reggae version)
Brooke – Like You Do, Holly Holy (hey, it works for most of them!)
Sayesha – Like You Do
Crystal,
How could have a song choice for all of the contestants but Jason and Brooke. Neil Diamond week was MADE FOR THE TWO OF THEM. I think Jason should sing either “Solitary Man” or “Play Me”. “Song Sung Blue” is too obvious a choise. Love the comment on “Shiloh” and Archie singing it. He is young enough have an imaginary friend. Still think that “Heartlight” is his song. It’s corny, cliche and from ET. Perfect for him.
Oh man! You two talked about all five of them, and you didn’t have one frame with David Archuleta’s actual face or person in it. Even with the Brooke/Bambi imagery, you had a shot of Brooke the human! Geez. That cutaway was not his fault. When will you let him out of the doghouse?
DC- Holly Holy
DA- He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
Jason- And The Grass Won’t Pay No Mind
Brooke- Play Me
Syesha- Hello Again
I think you are too harsh with David Archuleta. I am a 30 year old professional and I truly enjoy his voice and talent. He has a great personality too. I really wish to get some positive comment or constructive criticism for him from your blog.
david cook: girl you’ll be a woman soon
brooke: play me or soolaimon
syesha: brother love’s travelling salvation show
jason: i am i said
archuleta: something horrible… like crunchy granola suite or porcupine pie
Don’t they get to sing two songs this week? Anyway, lots of good picks, I’m not all up to speed on Neil Diamond but there’s a cover of “Solitary Man” by a band called HIM (YouTube it) that’d be great for Cook. If Archuleta sings that pile of crap “Heartlight”, I’ll shoot the TV, but I can so see him doing it. Either him or Brooke. Castro should do “I’m a Believer”. “Red Red Wine” for Syesha is a great suggestion. Finally, can you finally get off the whole Carly thing, Michael and co.? You’re starting to look like the fan-tards that post on Idol Forums.
“Sorry all you teenie wennies and narrow minded she’s the real deal!”
Well, dear Susan, I’m not a wennie or a narrow minded, and apparently, you either are a teenie wennie or you do not have spell checker. Despite your best efforts, however, you have completely failed to convince me that Carly is the real deal.
by the way, who is Saliesha?
Slezakovski – meant to mention – Archie (or anyone) doing America?! Isn’t that like KLC doing God Bless the USA? Sheesh! And if they sing it for the group song, it will remind me of the Idol Gives Back Gospel Hour – please no.
And hey – all you dissin’ the Slezakaminski for missin’ Carly – get off his case – we all have our own grieving process – respect the Videomeister’s! Especially when he’s funny doing it!
I’m sorry, but am I the only person who doesn’t want to hear anything from Neil Diamond? It’s 2008 people! Nigel and Co. better wise up–their ratings are starting to slip b/c they keep pimping out their mentor spots to any “legendary” artist with a Vegas show to promote.
I wish they could pick their own songs. This out dated mentor thing is getting old. Don’t the producers know it’s 2008?
