Now, if it is week two of Lennon/McCartney, I'm still stuck trying to figure out when either of them wrote "Here Comes The Sun"? Anyone? Anyone?

This week, they opened up Harrison's songs, too. He wrote HCtS. So, it's week two of L/McC with Harrison's songs thrown in just this week.

Thank heavens. I was fast forwarding and hoped I missed something vs. TPTB thinking Lennon/Macca wrote HCtS!

Ohhhh.

I think most people on GC know that I'm a huge (HUGE) Mariah fan. She might be crazy but she can sing. I think it'll be interesting to see how she interacts with the contestants. She's a little loopy but she has always been great to her fans.

I'm looking forward to Andrew Lloyd Webber too. He's a legend.

I agree about Kristy Lee and David H. When David was singing about dancing all I could think about is that he's an ex-stripper. I kept laughing.

Ramiele is just... BORING. I've never liked her. I'm also not a fan of Sayesha. I think her big, big earrings keep distracting me from HER.

I'm a huge fan of David Archeleta, but he was way out of his element last night. I think he was trying to do something different because Simon told him he needed to "lighten up" last week. I would have LOVED to see him sing "Yesterday."

I meant to come here last week and say that. I just KNEW he was gonna to Yesterday...THAT would have been awesome I believe

Carly is like that leather jacket wearing chick in high school who is probably perfectly nice (and they usually were all talented in some way) but she just seems cold and unapproachable...which isn't good for a singer hoping to sell out arenas.

I'm actually sad to see Amanda go.. but the anticipation of seeing Mariah coach the kids on Idol will make up for that. I cant wait to see what theme she is coaching (I hope it wont be a MiMi week... I couldnt take all that butchering)

So glad the Beetles weeks are over! Some suggested theme weeks I would love to see: R&B/Hip Hop, Motown, and Disney.
Does anyone know if the week Andrew Lloyd Weber is going to be on will be a general Broadway week, or just his songs?

Leslie Anne · #**204** 03-20-2008, 12:43 PM

Mariah might be interesting. Maybe even Dolly too? (at least she has experience) Personally, I can't stand Andrew Lloyd Webber.

God, I really hope it's not just his songs. I don't really like AL Webber's music when it's performed WELL, let alone if a bunch of amateurs were to sing them.

In other news, they are doing Idol Gives back again!

I am super excited, it was a very touching event last year!

American Idol Gives back!

If you even know yet! Don't people say that every time you get a stomach bug? That was the big joke with anybody of child bearing age at our campus health center many years ago. If you went in with nausea, they did a pregnancy test. If you had a sore throat, Mono. We never did figure out what they did with guys who went in with nausea!

I'm officially on board with David Cook now. His interpretation of Billie Jean tonight was amazing. My husband was even blown away, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. I'm such a dork I just went and downloaded the version of "Hello" he did on a past show and pre-ordered his version of what he did tonight.

Oh, and I liked Michael Johns, Syesha, David A. and Chikezie tonight too. But David Cook is the man right now as far as I'm concerned.

I loved Micheal Johns!!!!!!!

Of course I love Queen so this might have something to do with it!
