American Idol Top 8: Song Leaks (UPDATED)
MJ’s Big Blog says they got spoilers for tonight’s set list. After writing my last post, I realized it’s actually inspirational songs and not just songs that inspire the contestants…so it’s probably gonna suck, but that’s okay. I just hope no one does R. Kelly’s (I Believe) I Can Fly, as this song does not inspire. It just makes me want to pee.
Let’s see if these happen to be true…Will continue to post as I get them…
David Archuleta — Angels (Robbie Williams…GAG ME, that song gets worse everytime someone touches it. I’m still putting Neosporin on the scabs in my ears from when Jessica Simpson re-recorded that crap.)
Jason Castro — Over The Rainbow (Israel Kamakawiwo version, or the one used in baby commercials and that Gus Van Sant movie about the kid and Salinger-esque author)
David Cook — Innocent (Our Lady Peace)
And here are the TMZ song leaks. To be perfectly honest, I hate TMZ, so I hate giving them credit, but whatever. Seems like they have the same for the first three, so here are the others…(But they seem to have erroneously referred to Angels as a Jessica Simpson song. Figures, since TMZ follows her pathetic ass around with cameras on a daily basis.)
Syesha Mercado — I Believe (Fantasia…I really hate it when Idol contestants do songs recorded by former Idols.)
Carly Smithson –The Show Must Go On (Queen…I feel like I could tie this song into her desperate need to make herself a pop superstar.)
Brooke White — You’ve Got A Friend (James Taylor…already gagging and pouring myself a drink for this one.)
Michael Johns — Dream On (Aerosmith…SWEET!)
Kristy Lee Cook — Anyway (Martina McBride…don’t know it, and I’m sure her time with us is nearing its end, but she could have tried something else other than country for a change.)
