From another Blog site that does very well in the Spoiler department....

Over on the idolonfox.com Official Forums, somebody who calls him/herself "Idol Informant" and claims to be a "fired" Idol employee posted the following Theme-night schedule:

Top 9 (Country)
Top 8 (Queen)
Top 7 (Rod Stewart)
Top 6 (Songs of Past American Idols)
Top 5 (Disco)

Themes through the Top 7 have been announced officially. The Rod Stewart theme will concentrate on the 4 CDs Rod has recorded of the Great American Songbook, rather than his rock music. "Songs of the Past American Idols" as a theme is a rumor that's been floating around on the message boards. According to "informant" it includes songs from the CDs of the following Idols: Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Diana DeGarmo, Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Josh Gracin, Kim Locke, and Justin Guarini. According to "Informant" they will use "a lot of different arrangements, like maybe a rock version of 'A Moment Like This'" Chris singing "A Moment Like This?" HEE!

ETA: The "Past Idols" theme sounds terrible. I hope it's an untrue rumor.

According to "informant", last year's Broadway theme was a "disaster".

More Gossip from Informant:

* That a certain blonde contestant is not as nice as she puts off. Having an attitude with assistants.

* A certain bald man will have all the crew crying if he leaves, that's how nice he is.

* Paula was almost fired.

Now, more spoilers regarding sons the idols will
sing for coutnry theme night ( CAVEAT : The spoilers
are just that .... RUMORS. Some have been right, some have
been wrong ( although I must admit that a lot of what
I post here turned out to have a grain of truth if you
look back). Needless to say, I'm not going to put my
money on anything here....

1. Kellie--Strawberry Wine--Deana Carter

2. Mandisa--She's in Love with the Boy--Trisha Yearwood

3. Bucky--The Little Girl--John Michael Montgomery

4. Chris--Amazed--Lonestar

5. Elliot--I Do (Cherish You)--Mark Wills **This was also sung by 98 Degrees

6. Katharine--The Lucky One--Alison Krauss

7. Paris--JoDee Messina--Burn

8. Ace--I Swear--John Michael Montgomery **Also sung by All 4 One

9. Taylor--I Like, I Love It--Tim McGraw

Then another source whose friend is apparently friends with Kellie's family said she might be doing "Broken Wing" by Martina McBride...if she does, I wouldn't be surprised, since she did a decent job with it in her audition.

That's all for now folks. Will post some more as I get them.

Queen night....interesting. Who will sing "Fat Bottom Girls?" Who will take on "Bohemian Rhapsody" and not murder it like Lt. Dan last year?

Seriously, Freddie Mercury had such a pure voice, it is difficult for anyone to come close.

As for the country night spoilers:

the Pickler songs sems about right. Another vapid tune. Awful song.

Chris's choice could be very interesting. Good choice if he pulls it off.

Katharine taking on Alison Kraus. Tall order...

Ace - figures....he's nothing but a boy bad singer.

Taylor - not the toughest song but he'll have the place jumping.

Thanks for the info.

Queen night? How in the world are they going to take that music (great stuff with one of the best vocalists in rock history) and turn it out on AI? What is Kellie going to sing? Katharine? Mandisa (Fat Bottom Girls is way too obvious)? Paris? Who will butcher Bohemian Rhapsody one of the hardest songs in rock to pull off?

I can see Chris doing Under Pressure or Another One Bites the Dust and Taylor doing Crazy Little Thing Called Love but outside of those two I'm at a loss. I just can't see this as being a reality.

Interesting info.

6. Katharine--The Lucky One--Alison Krauss

That is quite a lofty prospect. Last week Katherine's high notes left a lot to be desired. Allison Krauss has such an incredibly beautiful, effortless, light and pure voice. Tough to equal. And after last week I would think she would go with a crowd-pleaser type song, like the Dukes of Hazzard theme song or Froggy Went a Courtin'.

8. Ace--I Swear--John Michael Montgomery **Also sung by All 4 One

I'm only shocked that it isn't "Tonight I Wanna Cry" by Keith Urban, but this was probably next on my list of songs Ace will sing. I'm sure there will be lots of creepy svengolli-like stares into the camera ("Vote for me....oh yes....you WILL vote for me..."), holding of his fist in front of his heart and pointing to the sky when he says "to the moon and the stars up above."

"1. Kellie--Strawberry Wine--Deana Carter"

That song isn't gonna work very well for her although my wife and I have commented that Deanna Carter is sort of who Pickler reminds us of, not so much in her singing style but in her image.

"2. Mandisa--She's in Love with the Boy--Trisha Yearwood"

Bit monotonous but should get the audience into it since they can sing along on the chorus.

"3. Bucky--The Little Girl--John Michael Montgomery"

Kind of a downer but within Bucky's ability & comfort zone.

"4. Chris--Amazed--Lonestar"

That'll probably be okay for Chris.

"5. Elliot--I Do (Cherish You)--Mark Wills **This was also sung by 98 Degrees"

Elliott's voice will sound nice on this song, but I fear it may be a snoozer.

"6. Katharine--The Lucky One--Alison Krauss"

I hope she can pull that off. Potential disaster.

"7. Paris--JoDee Messina--Burn"

Decent choice for Paris if she puts a little more zip into it than Messina's version.

"8. Ace--I Swear--John Michael Montgomery **Also sung by All 4 One"

Good choice for Ace. I know some people don't like it, but there's plenty of opportunity for Ace to work the camera with that.

"9. Taylor--I Like, I Love It--Tim McGraw "

LOL Taylor will be back to his old self with this one and really workin' it. Should be a crowd pleaser. But he really should be singing great songs originally done by great singers instead of covering big celebrity small talents.
