The American Idol 9 Top 12 hit the big stage Tuesday night, singing the songs of The Rolling Stones. The kids very first theme night has them choosing from 50 songs from the Stones catalog. Check out the songs after the jump.
Siobhan Magnus already spilled the beans to Access Hollywood on her song choice. She’ll be singing “Paint it Black”. (I’m intrigued!).
- Download songs from the Rolling Stones playlist HERE.
What I think they should sing:
- Aaron Kelly – “Salt of the Earth”, “Waiting on a Friend” – Aaron seems too immature to sing any of these tunes. He could put a country spin on these two.
- Andrew Garcia – “Time is On My Side” – This song might survive “the treatment”
- Casey James – “Honky Tonk Woman” or “It’s All Over Now” – With electric guitar or
- Crystal Bowersox – “Gimme Shelter” – I’d love to hear her wail on this
- Didi Benami – “She’s a Rainbow” – Spare arrangement with guitar.
- Lacey Brown – “As Tears Go By”
- Katie Stevens – “Wild Horses” – Because you know somebody is going to do it.
- Lee Dewyze – “Jumpin Jack Flash”, “Street Fighting Man” (Or something else uptempo, Lee should use this opportunity to rock out)
- Michael Lynche – “Angie” or “Tumbling Dice”
- Paige Miles – “Beast of Burden”
- Tim Urban – “Ruby Tuesday” – Kind of a random pick, he might do OK with something ballady.
