Channeling Randy: It is true that he can sing the phone book and make it sound good. But, do any of Cookie's fans want him to become synonymous with magic rainbows? If a radio station in your area is already playing it and you want to request it, I say: Go for it. But save the big guns for when his first "real" single comes out. I can't wait for that. I am really hoping that a polished up version of Fall Back Into Me ends up on the album. A little spit and shine and that one is radio ready.

Kiss even gave Kat McPhee's singles some spins. Bo Bice and Blake Lewis--no love for those two at all. <blockquote>Half Dead Broads for Cookie !</blockquote> Hilarious that the press has suddenly grabbed on to the notion that all of Cookie's fans are ready for AARP.

These coronation songs usually don't because they suck and people who didn't follow the show aren't going to want to listen to songs about magic rainbows, tasting every moment and rising from the ashes. Are we thinking that TPTB will eventually release the numbers for iTunes downloads for the season? I'm really curious to see how some of the bigger hits like Bille Jean, Always Be My Baby, Imagine, Hallelujah, etc. did. I’m really not worried if “The Time of My Life” doesn’t get much airplay.
