Theme for next week

[Silver Surfer]

Now that we have the Top 11, anybody has any idea what's the theme for next week?

[Lancelot of Camelot]

I am hoping it will be symphonic metal. My favorite form. Or perhaps Celtic.

Believe it or not, I think that Lance's suggestions are far superior to what we're going to hear! The theme for next week is "Teen Idols". I can hear the collective groans from those of you who still have their hearing. To be honest, no one seems to be sure what "teen idols" even means, but I'm guessing that Idol wants a week of frothy, mindless ditties designed for the stone-cold ears of the teeny-bops. I think they're worried that all the pimping for Garcia, Stevens, and Kelly just wasn't enough to guarantee that voting would keep them on the show. God knows this theme doesn't favor anyone left with any real talent. Here's an imagined list of the kind of tripe we might be forced to digest:

“Hit Me Baby One More Time” – Britney Spears
“I Think I Love You” – David Cassidy
“I Want It That Way” – Backstreet Boys
“One Tme” – Justin Bieber.
“Lost in Your Eyes” - Debbie Gibson
“Tattoo” – Jordin Sparks
“SOS” - Jonas Brothers
“I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)” – New Kids on the Block
“I Want You Back” – Jackson 5
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley
“Tearin’ Up My Heart” – N Sync
“Save a Prayer” – Duran Duran
“Say You’ll Be There” – Spice Girls
“End of the Road” – Boyz II Men
“Teardrops On My Guitar” – Taylor Swift

Wouldn't it be funny if Siobhan and Crystal didn't even show up this week, figuring they could get votes without singing at all?

Hey here's a new title for the show:

Dipwad Teeneybopper Karaoke Contest

[Lancelot of Camelot]

Could Evanescence qualify as Teen Idol music. I love me some Amy Lee.

[Lancelot of Camelot]

I did some research and found out that this weeks theme is not Teen Idols but Billboard #1 Hits. Teen Idols was rumored but this is supposed to be solid. I wonder if it has to be from pop/rock to qualify or it could be a #1 hit from indie/underground/death metal/country. With million different charts out there this could leave it open to anything.

[Chopper7]

That's an improvement. I would assume it's the standard Billboard list which would rule out all the specialized genres. I just hope no one dips into the 60's and comes up with "Hey Mr. Custer" or "Leader of the Pack". There were some real stinkers back then.

OK, just checked. The pretenders can choose from any of the Billboard lists. That pretty much guarantees an evening of safe crap. Is Idol purposely making this show as boring as possible?

I actually think it is pretty lame that they can use any of a million different versions of number one charts. Should have had to be the primary hot 100 list.

Yawn, yawn, and double-yawn.
