I have no more actual song spoilers for the girls tonight, but I do have a little gossip about last night’s taping.
Apparently, the judges thought the girls picked bad songs, overall. The judges weren’t happy with too many of the performances. Even the favorites weren’t praised very highly. Many of the song selections were country tunes.
ETA: Here’s a list of songs for the girls that was originally posted at Idolonfox. It’s made its way to Idol Forums and Survivor Sucks. And now my blog… Thanks to the reader who emailed the list to me.
Supposedly, this list came from somebody’s friend who was at the taping:
