spoilers?

I have to post these for discussion because they are too fucking HI-larious. I got them from Idolator, who got them from Joe's Place, who got them from a regular poster who has a friend who works for the show. So, a very rumored song list for this week's year-you-were-born theme:

Kris - Heaven
Oh, Kris, last week you came so far from your cute-but-a-little-dull box. Don't play my prom theme straight up, I beg of you, but don't just do the dance mix either.
Clarification: Heaven wasn't my prom theme, but the theme of the prom when I was a junior—in my high school the juniors planned the prom so the seniors were free to plan commencement. The theme for my senior prom was, of course, Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi.

Lil - Let’s Hear It For the Boy
This could actually be really good. It's a poppy song but it actually rewards a big voice.

Adam - Edge of Seventeen
HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA FUCK YEAH
Now that I've settled into Adam being my personal entertainment for as long as possible, unto winning, and somehow channelling the spirit of Nick/Norman but in a way that they don't even notice, I'm all over this shit. (Especially if he doesn't change the pronouns.) Shit's gonna be EMOSWEA!

Scott - You’re the Inspiration
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anoop - Who’s Johnny
Oh, I fear that this will not actually go well. Sometimes Anoop is too ironic for his own good. It might be funny but in a bad way, and if it is, Simon will either eat him for lunch, or just not even bother with critiquing him, which is the kiss of death. Or he'll just give you the "wtf" stare in my icon.

Matt - Part Time Lover
I really hate this song—it's an example of seriously crappy 80s R&B. I hope he reconsiders, or does something with it that works, because if he doesn't then he's counting on Anoop and Scott to suck more so he can stay another week.

Allison - Tears in Heaven
Yeah, this could be good, it might be time for a ballad, but I wish she could do some heavy grunge. You know you want to hear her put down some Alice in Chains.

Danny - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The HIMYM recapper doesn't like "douche" as an insult so she's taken to calling Ted "the Duke" when he's being douchey. I shall adopt this idea for Danny, because I think he's going to Duke it up to this song, and jump around like a boring moron, and we're all going to have to watch the original gay-tastic video to get the bad taste out of our mouths.

In fact, let's watch it now! Ready, Freddie?

Oh my god.

Well, aside from being a little heartbroken that there won't be any kisses blown in the wind, this does indeed look like it'll be an ENTERTAINING night, if not a particularly good one. With the exception of Scott, the cheesy songs are cheesy in a hilarious and fun way. And while I think she's too young to be expected to step up to this particular plate, if Allison does something interesting with the arrangement of Tears In Heaven it could be really awesome. (If not, it'll at least be pretty)

OH ADAM, DO NOT DISAPPOINT US BBCAKES.

I really am hoping Adam will do something insane, if only for my own amusement.

I am disappointed in every single one of these song choices. It's like the theme is "Year You Were Born and Also Songs Previous Contestants Sang and Ruined"

Who sang edge of seventeen?

nice icon

No one. Its a mixed bag of new songs and songs that were done.

damn, except for adam- i am finding it hard to think of a more fabulous possible song choice, and i pray this is true because it will be awesome- i'm not thrilled. it was such a wonderful decade, people, wtf? kris should do "loverboy," as i always wanted c-rich to. lil's will probably go well- it did for vonzell- but i'd have adored something more dramatic like "give me tonight" or "just be good to me" or "ain't nobody," which certainly is available to this show. scott, well, scott, that pick tells you all you need to know. even on the same shelf "hard habit to break" is a much more interesting song, more sophisticated emotionally, but he never wants to work that hard. anoop...yikes. i don't even know what to think about that. jacob has a point about his insistence on singing songs that aren't exactly songs, and it's weird, when he killed it on the smokey and "always on my mind." god i don't know. remember "the rain" by oran "juice" jones? that would be fun. he should take a page from adam's book and do a chick song. "live to tell" is too slow. "true blue." matt reminds me that most of my favorite songs from that year are not singer songs, you really can't get up on idol and do "when doves cry" or "you might think" or "adult education," if he were sarver i'd be thinking "pink houses," this is kind of depressing. "love light in flight" is better. why does no one ever sing that? sigh. i cannot improve on your suggestion for allison. danny should do "tired of toeing the line" by rocky burnette. or maybe "all out of love" by air supply to make jacob really lose it. yeah, i'm punchy.

Loverboy as in Tina Louise or whoever with the nose ring? I have never liked that song I have to admit. Anwar did Ain't Nobody so they definitely have access to it, and I think that's an Ashford and Simpson song anyway. I adore Hard Habit to Break; nice pun. Anoop is an a capella guy so he'd rather be clever than musical—it allows him to maintain emotional distance, which is the whole problem. I would love Danny doing Air Supply.

Did you catch that Dan Seals died? I was thinking they should do a yacht rock theme.

OH ADAM, NEVER CHANGE. <333 I dearly hope that one is true.
