American Idol - 4/6/04 - "The Music of Sir Elton John"

It's time for the songs of Sir Elton! Surely Jasmine and DeGarmo are fighting over Lion King songs. :lol:

What are your song predictions? Who do you think will do well? Does John Stevens deal with the Devil extend beyond top 10? Will America realize that Camile and JPL have no talent? (though get rid of JPL first, as at least Camile is eye-candy ;))

As has been stated previously... Camille has dibs on I'm Still Standing!

awesome elton songs will be great.

wonder if Tiny Dancer will be done again..

Like any of this matters when it's all about bloc voting, and not talent that's keeping some of these horrendous "singers" in the competition. For the next month, it's going to be surprisingly frustrating as to who gets the boot, that I believe will be the case.

Any other predictions on song choices? I'll say:

Diana - Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Fantasia - Honky Cat
Camille - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
John Stevens - Your Song
John Peter Lewis - Daniel
Jennifer - I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That
George - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Latoya - Candle in the Wind
Jasmine - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

I want to see someone do Crocodile Rock.

No one's going to be singing Rocket Man?

Diana - Bennie and the Jets or I Guess That's Why they Call It the Blues
Fantasia - Shad Shongs (Shay Sho Much)
Camile - Someone Saved My Life Tonight
JPL - Mama Can't Buy You Love
John Stevens - Your Song
George - Levon (he would absolutely, positively kill on this song!!)
Jennifer - Border Song
LaToya - Empty Garden
Jasmine - Candle in the Wind

And group song for the recap show:

Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

Not sure but word is that William Shatner will be tonight's guest judge. :)

Jennifer, Fantasia and George are in trouble.

I don't know of any Elton John songs with screaming throughout the song for Jennifer.

Fantasia and George don't have the right song for Elton John songs.

Don't see where screaming is required but I'll bite.

Let's try these for starters:

Sad Songs (Say So Much)
I'm Still Standing
The Border Song
Circle of Life
Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
Island Girl
Grow Some Funk of Your Own
Mama Can't Buy You Love
Levon
Philadelphia Freedom
I'm Still Standing
Part-Time Love
Sacrifice
Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me

I'm guessing that one of the three, if not all three, could handle any of this group of songs.


BTW, Elton songs with screaming (or at least yelling):

The Bitch is Back
Saturday Night (is Alright for Fighting)
Grow Some Funk of Your Own
I'm Still Standing

:down:

I'm really hoping that George does "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues". I mentioned it in last week's massive thread and I'm glad someone else has brought it up it here.

I can really imagine him doing a great version of that.

"Better balance of talent"? Hahahahaha!

I think this is the culprit here. I really like Latoya but I have never bothered to vote for her because she is so good I assume she will get lots of votes. I have thrown a few votes for John Stevens though. ;)

My guess is her being in the bottom 3 last week will rally a lot of support and calls for her this week.

:lol:rotfl:lol:

Not that JPL really has that much personality. Sort of like comparing a water bowl to a wading pool.

One thing I've been meaning to mention:

Anyone ever notice that JPL's dad seems as if he was an "America's Funniest Home Videos" career audience member? Maybe its just me....

More like a lack of talent!

I'm going to watch just to see which Elton's song Jasmine, JPL and Teen Martin manage to butcher again tonight!

Where's Michael Bolton when you need him -wink-

This show is now such a trainwreck...

Interesting. I was setting up a DVDTalk league on the Hollywood Stock Exchange (see link in my sig) and noticed that they are trading warrants for the contestants:

So does having them sing Elton John songs put all the heterosexual contestants at a disadvantage? :D

:D


What happens if two people want to sing the same song?

But Matt's already off the show!

Camille and John Stevens up, George down.

Whats up with that?
