this is flying around the AI site:
this was posted on an AOL as "possible spoilers":
songs are subject to change. These are the proposed songs in which each idol has commited to, as of Saturday April 22, 2006. * = a suggestion via Simon. ** = A Simon favorite. Also post how you think each Idol contestant will do on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being PHENOMENAL
Paris Bennett - "At Last" (6 out of 10)
Elliot Y. - "Unchained Melody" Righteous Brothers ** (8 out of 10)
Kellie P. - "Because You Loved Me" Celine Dion (7 out of 10)
Katherine M. - "I Will Always Love You" Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston (20 out of 10) PHENOMENAL PRACTICE AND WILL BE PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE.
Taylor H. - "You Are So Beautiful" - Joe Cocker / Georgia On My Mind - Ray Charles (TAYLOR PRACTICED BOTH SONGS)* (9 out of 10)
Chris D. - "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" Aerosmith (9 out of 10)
Elliott is doing "A Song For You".
at least that's the latest
Katherine M. - "I Will Always Love You" Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston
I hope she doesn't sing that. Could be painful unless Katharine gives us a laidback lounge performance of it. Could be deadly dull if she does give us a lounge performance of it. If she sings it the way I expect her to sing it, she'd better be in fine voice.
"At Last" seems pretty decent for Paris. I'm impressed with that kid and don't think she has turned in a weak performance, yet. Went back and listened to Billie Holiday's, Sarah Vaughn's, Dinah Washington's, and Ella Fitzgerald's versions of "These Foolish Things"; hard to believe, but Paris's version stacks up pretty well.
"A Song for You" seems perfect for Elliott's voice. I'm not familiar with the song and have only heard a brief audio clip. Is it a good enough song to help Elliott in the voting, is what I'm wondering. It'd be cool to hear him sing "Unchained Melody" though.
Hmmm...so Taylor may be dropping the G-bomb this week. Hope so.
Chris has a good voice for doing Aerosmith songs. Should work.
Kellie P. - "Because You Loved Me"
I think she might do well with that. Seems like it would be within her ability, anyways.
I'm not sure I buy Chris's choice. VERY obvious. Same with Taylor. Too predictable. I don't buy the list.
Elliot Y. - "Unchained Melody" Righteous Brothers ** (8 out of 10) "
UNCHAINED MELODY is a Simon favorite, but I think he hates when anyone else tries to sing it. I don't think he has ever given anyone a good review who's tried.
Wow...the spoiler stuff is interesting.
Here's my 2 cents:
Paris - At Last - if she nails in, she's in another week.
Elliott - If he sings Unchained, and does good, he could be in another week. The other tune, he will probably go home. You've got to pick songs people know.
Kelli - I HATE Celine Deon. Doing Celine could be the "kiss of death" for Kelli. The "Sympathy vote" usually doesn't last 2 weeks in a row.
Taylor - either tune should be great.
Chris - Aerosmith?? I can't see it being a choice. But after being in the bottom last week he should be safe.
Katharine - If McPhee nails it...she pushes ahead. If not, back in the bottom 3. But really, all she needs to do (as posted already) is just stand there and smile pretty for the camera and she'll make the finals.
It gets tough now because I pretty much like everyone who's left. Some better than others...LOL
