That would have been a truly memorable show.</blockquote> They did get the ELVIS PRESLEY Tribute and for the most part did a nice job. It has been mentioned that the Top 12 will be doing the Beatles early catalog, right? Would 1968 be the cut off for the songs?

It's on their podcast at about 12:30. He said it went like this: The band selected 3 songs, without practicing them, just based on what they thought would work for them. The producers would then select one song from the submitted list, without hearing the band play any of the songs. Then the band would start rehearsing the selected song. Not saying it's like that on Idol, but this at least gives insight into one of Nigel's productions. www.digivegas.com I just listened to a couple of digivegas podcasts; Cliff Wagner is the person who talks about the song selection process on NGAB.

I finally settled on Jason Y and Robbie and Amanda and Kady. I just can't bring myself to choose Luke yet. I'm hoping for one more week. :wub_tb: LOL, I can’t decide on my picks either.

I'm not making the same mistake that I made last week. For the boys, last week I originally had Colton and Garrett...however I changed it to Luke and Chikisie at the last minute. At least I had the girls right. However, those two were obvious. I’m not changing my selections. I’m not making the same mistake that I made last week.

Couldn't this have happened with maybe SEason 5? Really? I'm not in the mood to see too many blondes and people too young to understand the Beatles music, SING the Beatles music. I'm SUCH a diehard Beatles fan that I'm having a hard time even liking the idea. I'm not against people covering the Beatles....I'm against the majority of the AI finalist covering the Beatles. God, Kristy Lee Cook(if she makes it to the top 12) singing the Beatles....Shoot me now. I'm going to have to mute sooo many performances. The only plus out of this is, that they'll probably only pick the "hits" and may leave some more obscure Beatles songs alone, hopefully. Thankfully there are only 12 contestants, so only 12 songs can be tarnished! HOORAY! Sigh.

I think the Beatles group medley should open with a recreation of the butcher cover & segue into some of them dressed as blue meanies. The possibilities are endless. This is going to be a trainwreck fo sho. Wow, they finally get the rights to The Beatles catalog & it’s with this bunch of yahoos.

I've been waiting impatiently for more chat! Hapi, I love that you blah blah yourself! :thumbup_tb: I do it all the time as well. I can't make up my mind on my picks either. I left them as I chose this morning, but I can think of 100 reasons to change them. And dial idol is NOT helpful AT ALL. Hey look, ANYONE can go home this week! Not so predictive this year. I have to say on the girls side I am not so surprised. No one gave me much reason to pick up my phone last night..... I know CarieB…. I’ve been waiting impatiently for more chat!

I don't have anything to say, just thought I'd break the silence. I have changed my picks in the poll about 7 times already today. Too many vulnerable people. Wow, no posts for 2 hours?

I remember seeing Alexandria little girl singing natl A.at a basketball game I believe, on news, she was great then, way pitchy most of the time now. Even tho Celine did All By Myself cover, since it was 70's week, they should have given Eric Carmen credit w/at least a mention. All the girls including Carly had some pitch problems in parts of their songs at the very least...Carly in her high range, Brooke in some low but they were still the best with Ramiele next. As much as I like Alexandria she has bad pitch problems. Really pro singers sound good even in the soft areas, others should really work on those areas and not just the glory notes as thats where being off really shows. I like Brooke a lot and like Jason Castro a lot. and think David Cook is a way better singer than Aussie guy. David H. good but not as good as D.Cook. blah blah blah misc blab:
