Syesha Mercado — “One Rock & Roll Too Many” from Starlight Express
David Cook — “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera
Carly Smithson — “Jesus Christ Superstar”
Brooke White — “You Must Love Me” from the film adaptation of “Evita”
Jason Castro — “Memory” from Cats. FYI, the official title is NOT “Memories.”
David Archuleta — “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera.
Thanks...would have liked “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” for Brooke. Looking forward to Dreads. ;)
Similarly, I'm not sure David C. has the voice for 'Phantom of the Opera.'
'Think of Me' was originally written for a high soprano voice, so I'm interested to hear what David A. will do with it.
'One Rock & Roll Too Many' is an odd choice, because it's a comedic novelty tune that was originally performed as an ensemble piece.
Brooke chose a song that should fit her well. It was sung by Madonna in the film version of Evita.
I think the best choice, assuming Carly can pull it off, is 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' and she didn't actually choose the song for herself.
Hearing in my head what I think these kids sound like with these songs, I can understand why Andrew Lloyd Weber said some of them were "dire."
