DOG, YO, MAN, HOT ONE TONIGHT: This is the toughest week of American Idol until May -- the contestants go from having a one in four chance of getting booted this week (12 of 16 survive) to only a one in twelve chance next week, so to say song selection is critical would be an understatement.
So take this moment to advise a contestant of your choosing on the best way to ensure his or her survival. For Gina Glocksen, for instance, she needs something that takes advantage of her decently-big voice, but she needs to break out of the Idol Standards into something more contemporary. How about Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" or the Cranberries' "Zombie"? (Or, basically, anything Storm Large sang on Rock Star.)
For Backup Brandon Rogers, is D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" too cliche? Can John Legend's "Ordinary People" be reduced to ninety seconds? If not, it's been a long time since I've heard Terence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well". Your turn.
