More rumors about song spoilers for tonite from the same usual American Idol boards suspects....
Taylor Hicks, According to a reliable source at Idolonfox.com (friend of Taylor's grandma, he has spoiled before), Taylor's song choice for Country night is "An Upbeat John Denver Song"! ( The main ones I can think of is THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY or GRANDMA's FEATHER BED ).
Elliott Yamin: "It's a country song that's very cross-over worthy. It was originally done by a country artist that's very, very famous. It has since been covered by a pop artist." Elliott's girlfriend, Wonderwoman, posts at idolonfox.com, "I can't be a spoiler, But If Tuesday Needs Country, ELLIOTT IS READY."
Fans have been busy playing with the clues and have finally come up with:
"If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks, which has been covered by Ronan Keating, formerly of the English Boyband "Boyzone"
The Clues:
If Tuesday Needs Country = If Tomorrow Never Comes
Garth Brooks = Famous country artist Ronan Keating = Pop artist Clue from a family freind, "I have nothing to gaine by telling you directly." Chris Gaines = Garth Brooks (Garth put out one album as Alter Ego Chris Gaines) clues and info courtesy of Television Without Pity and idolonfox.com
I REPORT, YOU DECIDE :)
Taylor and "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" or "Grandma's Feather Bed"?????? Oh my........:-(
I agree with your feelings of being burnt out with FR postings, the political news, etc. I can't watch FOX News anymore either. To me, the political atmosphere is like it was at the end of George H W Bush's term. The sharks have drawn blood and the media is salivating over the prospect of driving President Bush's numbers down or their wet dream of driving him out of office before his term ends. It's very depressing. And, the president's PR team sucks big time.
My sentiments exactly. I hope they're wrong. This is the time for him to do 'Georgia on my mind'. He needs a really good week. I hope this week is better than last week and I hope the sound is right. :)
Sir Links, I posted the item about Carrie's driving and JOKINGLY asked Jonny the question "You think Carrie is starting to copy some of the Gherkin's dumb act?"
To me, the Gherkin is attempting to be a Carrie clone, only Pickler is nowhere near as talented or pretty as Carrie.
I don't think they've done "Queen" before... Constantine did "Bohemian Rhapsody" one night, but it wasn't a "Queen" theme.
Don't be embarrassed! I thought it was really cute. :-D
OMG! LMAO!! Those are hysterical!!!

OK. But is Simon really boinking her?
Maybe I am in the minority here, but I love that song!! I think it's a great choice for Taylor. He'll be able to whoop it up.
It's one of my husbands favorite songs and I sent him a text message saying Taylor might do it tonight. I got this back, "That would kick f-ing @ss!!!" So, it gets the thumbs up from the retrokitten household. :-D
Unless... he realized that Paula "got away with it" and that freed him up to go "boinking".
MORE SPECULATION AND RUMORS FROM THE USUAL AMERICAN IDOL BOARDS SUSPECTS...
That is interesting....he would already know the words & it will be a ballad.
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack
Its early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God Im a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin me a family and workin on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy
When the works all done and the suns settlin low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God Im a country boy
Id play ¡°sally goodin¡± all day if I could
But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good
So I fiddle when I could, work when I should
Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy

Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

Thank God Im a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
Thank God Im a country boy

While I like Thank God I'm a Country Boy....I think Bucky should sing it.
Taylor should do Georgia, The Gambler or Seven Spanish Angels.
Another great John Denver song would be Country Roads.
I believe the consensus is that he is singing Take Me Home Country Roads. Ray Charles did a version of that song as well.
