Next week, the theme is “Top 10 sing Top 10.” The song selection must be from 2010 to the present. I’m assuming these are song that have made the Top 10 on the Billboard 100. At least. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were Top 10 on any list, just to accommodate the country folk. Have any song suggestions? Post them in comments!
Jennifer Lopez sings her new song, “I Luh Ya Papi” and the up and coming artist of the week is pop rock group, Royal Teeth. Damn. I miss having weekly performances from Idol alums!
