American Idol 12 – Week 8 Theme – Standards, Hit Songs of 2013

The Idol Pad is reporting this week’s themes are

Standards and Hit Songs Of 2013.

Here’s an American Idol theme week I can get behind! And considering the girls we have left (I am feeling REALLY confident there WON’T be an elimination this week) the performances have the potential to be fantastic:

Standards are the American Songbook, including classics sung by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, etcetera and have usually produced some really great performances from the finalists. Off the top of my head, Season 1, Season 6 and Season 9 had Standards themes. Season 4 had a Broadway theme, which had some overlap.

Hit songs of 2013? We’ve been begging for a contemporary theme, and here it is. The two themes together could be a nice contrast and result in an eclectic night of music. I HOPE!
