This weeks theme apparently is "Year they were born"

I know this was the theme Colton was dreading as he said it wasnt his style of music back then in the olden days

Here is the suggestions i made on the Idol boards, some of them are a little off the wall but if you listen to them i think they fit the contestants

Elise: 1983

Faithfully - Journey
Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar (one of my fave ever songs)

Erika: 1985

What about Love - Heart

Cant see past this one

Jermaine: 1986

There will be sad songs - Billy Ocean


Heejun: 1989

right here waiting - Richard Marx



Philip: 1990

Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins
Nothing compares to you - Sinead o Connor -my pick


Colton: 1991

Winds of Change - Scorpions
More Than Words - Extreme

Joshua: 1992

One -U2

Hollie: 1993

Whats up - 4 non blondes (way out prediction but i think she could pull it off)

Skylar: 1994

All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow
Crazy - Aerosmith (another way out prediction but something diff for her)

Deandre 1994

Stay - Eternal


Jessica: 1995

I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders


Shannon: 1995

Kiss From a Rose - Seal
Ironic - Alannis Morisette

Elise: 1983 How Am I Supposed To Live Without You (Laura Brannigan)
Erika: 1985 Running Up That Hill- Kate Bush
Jermaine: 1986 Higher Love- Steve Winwood
Heejun: 1989 Listen To Your Heart- Roxette
Philip: 1990 Nothing Compares 2 U- Sinead O'Connor
Colton: 1991 Fall At Your Feet- Crowded House
Joshua: 1992 Remember The Time- Michael Jakcson
Hollie: 1993 Breathe Again- Toni Braxton
Skylar: 1994 Come To My Window- Melissa Etheridge
Deandre 1994 Waterfalls- TLC
Jessica: 1995 No More I Love You's- Annie Lennox
Shannon: 1995 Take A Bow- Madonna

Extreme More than Words would be brilliant for Colton. I think they will be limited in their choices though to what the show has rights to perform.

The ones ive bolded/put in itallics are the ones that are on the cleared list; I guess Aerosmith - Crazy wouldnt be too hard to get cleared, and as journey and U2 songs are often used on these shows im sure those 2 would be alright

I guess Scorpions for Colton may be out, but i see Bryan Adams- Everything i do is one there!! i can see him going that one!!

If anyone wants the list

ps i see Erika has already sang what about love (though this didnt stop Phillip) so Heart - Never would also be a good choise for her

It being Idol, Elise will probably be given Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse Of The Heart, which is from her birth year, and on the cleared list. Colton may be given Bryan Adams' Everything I Do (I Do It For You).

I'd love to hear Deandre do some Terence Trent D'arby during the series. His top end is Philip Bailey but his lower range has reminded me TTD - and he has the hair! Sign Your Name and Wishing Well are on the cleared list. Delicate just missed his birth year, and was originally a duet with Des'ree, but unfortunately it isn't on the list.

Here are a few new suggestions

Elise - Wanna Be Starting Something (Michael Jackson)

I like the lyrics to it about being a vegetable, it'd be more fun than anything else she'd done!

Erika - I Wanna Know What Love Is (Foreigner)

Would suit her and allow her to use light and shade.

Jermaine - Kiss (Prince)

Might sound strange, but remember Tom Jones sang it too!
Heejun - Waiting For A Star To Fall (Boy Meets Girl)

I like this song, might work for him.

Phillip - Hold On (Wilson Phillips)

Wilson Phillips for Phillip Phillips lol he could make this his own without going OTT!

Colton - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)

Don't like picking this as Siobhan's version can't be topped, but couldn't see what else he cpould do!

Joshua- Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton)

So he can strip it back a bit!

Hollie - Don't Walk Away (Jade)

Time for Hollie to go uptempo!

Skylar - Stay (I Missed You (Lisa Loeb & 9 Stones)

I don't like her so I'm being kind here! Shouldn't challenge her too much though!

Deandre I Swear (All 4 One)

He can show his softer side again.

Jessica - Waterfalls (TLC)

Saw this on her list rather than Deandre's - will check! Would keep her young though!

Shannon - You Gotta Be (Des'ree)

An easier song to get her back on track, the lyriocs suit her too!

I really dislike Deandre's falsetto but last week he sounded like TTD to me and I actually liked his performance. Glad I'm not the only one to see the Terence in there.

Thank you for the cleared list Sarah_Jane39. It will be interesting to see what's on there.

can you still watch the show live online or have they stopped doing it this year

Can anyone PM me a link please

not going to spoil it but SOOO disappointed with the songlist
