I thought since it was judges’ pick week, it was yet another excuse for me to pick songs. So here goes:
Adam
If Randy has any guts, he will pick a Journey song for Adam since he is the first Idolist ever to credibly be able to rise to Steve Perry-like heights. Seriously, if Adam sings Faithfully, when he’s finished crushing that big note at the end, it’s over and you have your winner. Check please. 19 Management can just bring a contract and a pen out for him to sign right there on the spot.
Hot but not nearly as hot would be Journey's Open Arms, Wheel In the Sky; or a big U2 song like With or Without You.
Danny
I have lots of songs for Danny:
- A true classic like House of the Rising Sun;
- Bad Company’s Bad Company since I think he has a Paul Roger’s kind of voice;
- How about some Otis Redding Try a Little Tenderness or Hard to Handle;
- A nice and interesting suggestion from regular reader Gina: Al Green - maybe something like Let’s Stay Together.
Kris
- My clear top choice is Come on Get Higher by Matt Nathanson
- Richard Marx: Hold Onto the Nights or Right Here Waiting
- How about Elton John’s Levon
Let the games begin!!!

I love your song picks for each!
Time will tell if the judges are as astute with their assigned songs. If so, it will be a truly enjoyable listeningfest.
Ahh, you were kind to Kris. I was sure you'd give him something from Barry Manilow! (and yes, Margo, Manilow does qualify as music. You should feel the energy he creates in a sports arena concert! Just like AudioSlave, I'm sure) Great choices for Kris, especially "Come on Get Higher." I didn't see Michael Bolton on your list for Danny, though. Or anything he can do with the Morman Tabernacle Choir.
I'm feeling pretty confident on Kris outlasting Danny. Maybe we should up the ante...make it double or nothing.
