It’s getting too late at night to think about this…..I’m out of “inspiration”

I was totally thinking of I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing for David Cook..

Carly could take on any big song as she has the pipes for it!

Voices That Care for David Archuleta!

I don’t have any other inspirational songs in mind (I’m not even sure if I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing is inspirational, but it doesn’t matter since we already know that Cook is not singing that)

Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s too much to hope for but I think Brooke can follow in the footsteps of Theresa Sokyrka who sang an amazing cover of Good Mother by Jann Arden.

Oooooh, that would be a great song for her.

Was Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” mentioned anywhere up thread? I think Brooke or Carly would sound lovely on that.

Anyone know if it’s a crazy four hours of voting like last year? *hopes not*

All I know is that I will vote for him (which I would do anyway) solely for the reason that heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not doing a dreary ballad.

Yep!

Thank goodness for diversity, right? I like ballads in general, but simple pretty ones. Not overwrought shouting fests with runs and riffs. Should be an interesting night.

ETA: “Yep” was meant as an agreement about ballads. My votes will prolly go to Jason unless something weird with the universe happens.

OLP nice pr!!! Now that’s the way to help yourself. Bet they have major hits on their myspace page not to metion their downloads are up on Thursday….:)

Bet they never thought to get a call to release one of their songs on AI…heheheh!!!

Rock On, DC!!

Thank you, DC!!

Brooke White: “What if God was one of us?” by _________
*she would do a beautiful job playing this on the piano and singing

David Cook: “Daydream Believer” by the Monkees punked up

Carly Smithson: “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship
In my estimation, the perfect song choice for her. The judges will love it.

David Archuletta: “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer”

Jason Castro “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.. with the guitar and the lights dimmed!

Kristy Lee Cook “Anyway” by Martina McBride
good song choice for her. very right wing song and inspirational.

Syesha Mercado “Dawning of the Age of Aquarius” or “Let Every Nation Sing”
