From MJ's Big Blog...there are only two spoilers thus far:

David Cook - “Innocent” - Our Lady Peace (via their website) Acoustic version My Space

David Archuleta - “Angels” - Robbie Williams ( from a reliable source on the scary boards, via Idol Forums) You Tube

Also, some think Jason may be doing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

“Simon Cowell Predicts Battle Of The Davids On American Idol”

That’s pretty much how I see it unless someone less talented is a spoiler.

None of the females this year are going to make it. Most are only “average” or “slightly above average” singers.

Brooke could be the spoiler but I still think the “Davids” have it in the bag.

I wonder if it will be Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version. I'm not so sure this would be a good move on Jason's part to do any version of this song.

Yes, it is. Just confirmed on MJ’s: Jason Castro - “Over The Rainbow” - Israel Kamakawiwo version.

I don't see what the big whoop is about David A. He bores me. Maybe in time he'll develop a stage presence that will captivate the audience. He sure hasn't captivated me yet, other than the first night.

I love that version and I think Jason will do a good job but still ... We learned that Somewhere Over the Rainbow is Simon’s favorite song from the Katherine McPhee days. I don’t know about this ...

“I don’t see what the big whoop is about David A. He bores me.”

I tend to agree. He DOES have a good voice when he uses it correctly and doesn’t sing a boring “message song.”

I still think this has got to be the worst season ever. The only real “personality” in the crew is David Cook and he’s basically Chris Daughtry “lite.” That said, I do really like him.

Castro singing Over the Rainbow. Good Lord! Dorothy with dreadlocks? That should really suck more that 12 dozen Orecks. Hopefully it will be dread-boy’s last stand.

Evidently, Johns’ karaoke song of choice was “Sweet Caroline”

Guess that’ll be an early song spoiler for Neil Diamond week...

Hi, CB :)

I just hope they don't use as many "America is terrible" video segments as they did last year. And more music and comedy and less preachy-ness would be nice too :)

Fergie then joined Heart (yes, Heart) on “Barracuda.”

This could be one of those "it looked good on paper" kinda things.

And for the big finish: Fergie baffled the crowd by doing some cart wheels during that performance.

LOL!

Oh yeah, train wreck. Not even a normal train wreck. One of those Indian train wrecks that are only 2 cars but 4000 people are killed or injured.
