American Idol 2012: What Should The Top 5 Perform?

May 1, 2012 Branden American Idol, American Idol 2012, Season 11 166

AMERICAN IDOL 2012: Hollie Cavanagh. CR: Nino Munoz / FOX

This week the American Idol 2012 Top 5 take on songs from British artists. Right now we’re unsure if there’s a time limit or if both songs they sing will be by British artists. Basically, what I’m saying is, Fox does not make this job easy.

That all being said, I’m just going to pick a couple Brit songs for each of the Top 5 and leave it at that. Let me preface this by saying “OMG NO MORE ADELE PLEASE! I  know she’s British, but PLEASE NO!!!!!”

Phillip Phillips, “Melt With You” by Modern English and/or “Wonderwall” by Oasis. Both of these songs could be great moments for Phillip. He could put his acoustic spin on “Wonderwall” while doing a bigger version of “Melt With You” to mix things up.” I’d really LOVE to hear Phil do “Lola” by The Kinks, but I don’t think that would ever happen.

Skylar Laine, “Changes” by David Bowie and/or “Wild Horses” by The Rolling Stones. I think both of these songs could work with a country slant. But they’re both songs with similar tempos. So she’d have to amp one up so she doesn’t have two similar performances. She, and everyone else, needs two very different performances tonight.

Joshua Ledet, “Tupelo Honey” by Van Morrison and/or “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” by The Beatles. Joshua could put a nice soulful, gospel spin on “Tupelo Honey” and then turn out a grand performance of “Lucy” kind of like a really awesome version Natalie Cole did. Check that out here, if you want to understand what I’m suggesting.

Hollie Cavanagh, “White Flag” by Dido and/or “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse. OK, the first song makes so much sense that it balance out my ridiculous second suggestion enough to work. OK, Hollie doesn’t have to be the one to do “Rehab,” or Any Winehouse in general, but I want someone to.

Jessica Sanchez, “Time of The Season” by The Zombies and/or “Your Song” by Elton John. She probably needs to sing some younger songs than this, but this theme is really throwing me off. So I picked fun songs. Songs that she could put a youthful spin on.

What songs would you like to hear the Top 5 sing? Good luck with this theme! It’s hard!

  1. the beatles and adele have been done to death already.  amy winehouse would be interesting.  no one has ever done the moody blues or the who.  and i love your suggestion of “lola”.  the big voiced girls should try dusty springfield.  in the long run, you know there will be wrong choices, crappy performances, and one standout.  this is american idol!!  the best performance will be on may 17th.

    • Sure, Jessica or Hollie can do Rehab, that would be interesting.  Actually I had Hollie for doing Dusty Springfield last week.

      • elise would have been brilliant doing “rehab”.  i would still love to hear skylar do “squeeze box” by the who.  she would tear it up!

  2. As of this moment Jessica should sing popular songs because even though she’ll nail a song that is not that popular, people wont appreciate it. I suggest she should sing something from Leona Lewis, Jessie J or Amy Winehouse.

  3. I saw it on American Idol Season 11 as of today..

    THOUGHTS?
    If this is true, so sad some are singing Adele’s.

    • Yup I saw it in WIKIPEDIA… I hope JESSICA will do very well…Let Bebe Chez get loose and show her diva attitude that I’ve seen on stage in YouTube!

    • If this is true – I believe it is – Phillip and Hollie have made the best choices IMO.

    •  This would be an awesome set list if it is true! The Mumford and Sons choice for Phill would be a great choice, and I would love to hear his take on it.

    • i hope the girls dont get beat up for choosing more adele.  everyone keeps saying NO ADELE. its not bothering me but it seems like others are sick of it.

      • I’m not sick of it, it’s just that no one can do Adele justice. It almost never works.

    • Its not up there anymore.. each week I see ppl saying they got song info from there & i look & nothing is there. Does it just get taken down right away?

    • No on should sing Imagine.  It’s too slow, requires zero vocal ability and is a downer.    P2 would be better off with It’s My Life by the animals rather than HOTRS.  There’s some spirit in It’s My Life and the lyric fits P2s uncompromising attitude.

    • nahh. this is not true i mean the order skylar will perform second again? they switch orders every week

    • I’m with Branden – no more Adele!  But I think “House of the Rising Sun” or “Spill the Wine” (Animals) would be great for Phillip or what about Brown Sugar (Stones)? – Better still:  Brown-Eyed Girl (Van Morrison).  There are a ton of great British bands from similar days that could play well today, I think:  Yardbirds, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Zombies, Kinks, and Lulu or Dusty Springfield would be a better choice for Hollie than Amy Winehouse, I think.     

  4. First-If you go to Wikipedia and look up “British Pop Singers” you find Hollie Cavanagh…does that mean she can sing something she sang?

    I am going to list a number of songs from artists…some that might be a bit off the wall, but I thin would work:

    Hollie-
    Angel-Robbie Williams
    Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy – Sonia (uptempo option for her)
    Daydream Believer – Davey Jones

    Jessica-
    All Around the World – Lisa Stansfield
    Careless Whisper – George Michael
    Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis

    Joshua-
    Everytime you Go Away – Paul Young
    Landslide – Tony Clark (some Northern Soul)
    I (who have nothing) – Tom Jones (I think this would be great!)

    Phillip (I have a lot for him for some reason)-
    Father and Son – Cat Stevens
    A Little Help from My Friends – Joe Cocker
    Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton
    Paint it Black – Rolling Stones
    GLORIA – Them
    Have I told you Lately – Van Morrison/Rod Steward

    Skylar-
    I’ll Stand By You – Pretenders (Jessica could do this too, but I think Skylar is better suited)
    Black Horse and a Cherry Tree – KT Tunstall
    You Had Me – Joss Stone

     

    • Careless whisper for jessica sanchez? Uh! You dont really like making jokes, do you? It would be great ,,,i who have nothing for jessica and careless whisper for joshua….. People who got a talent in singing can use their sense of imaginative ideas…..n_n…..do u agree?

      • Frankly I have no idea if you are criticizing with the choice or agreeing with it.

        Now Joshua could also do Be Young…. that I have for Hollie as the original was done by an R&B group from Atlanta called the Tams.

        I tried to stay away from a lot of the standard songs you might see.

        An NO ADELE!

  5. Wonderwall for Phillip that would be nice but that would be a safe song for him I guess.

    I think it’s not appropriate for JS and Hollie those songs you suggested~

    #opinion 🙂

  6. I hope someone does a slowed down version of a Bowie song Seu Jorge style 🙂 

    • And is no one going to do Coldplay because they are guests this week? That is unfortunate, their songs would do well for any of the contestants.

    • With no disrespect, hopefully that girl or any of AI hopefuls simply don’t read any of the comments on any blogs because they don’t need it. Somewhat agree with you as long she’s comfortable and confident but surely she will do fine or more or less better

  12. It would be nice if Phillip would sing a James Morrison this week. “Wonderful World” for audience familiarity to the song choice or “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me” to show off his softer side.

    It’s also nice to hear something from Leona Lewis.. Ooohh. “Bleeding Love” please.. It’s popular, it’s young and contemporary, it’s British, and it’s the perfect song. 🙂 

  13. It would be nice if Phillip would sing a James Morrison this week. “Wonderful World” for audience familiarity to the song choice or “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me” to show off his softer side.

    It’s also nice to hear something from Leona Lewis.. Ooohh. “Bleeding Love” please.. It’s popular, it’s young and contemporary, it’s British, and it’s the perfect song. 🙂 

  14. I was think for Hollie, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ Its the Liverpool FC anthem, I think its fitting.
    And for Phil maybe some James Morrison, not exactly well known but their styles are similar.

  15. i don’t know anything with old school british songs, but i guess i need to try..

    Jessica sanchez 
    “who you are” jessie j.
    “stop crying your heart out” leona lewis

    Hollie cavanagh
    “you’ll never walk alone”
    “i’ll stand by you”

    Phil Phillips
    “careless whisper” george michael

    Joshua ledet
    “someone like you” adele
    “breathless” – shayne ward

    skylar 
    “somewhere over the rainbow”
    “wild horses”

    • Good choices, but well, “Over the Rainbow” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” are American classics, not British!

  17. Phillip – “Evil Woman” – ELO – “After the Storm” Mumford and Sons
    Hollie – “Sailing” Rod Stewart – “Downtown” Petula Clark
    Jessica – “Rehab” Amy Winehouse – “Two Become One” – The Spice Girls
    Skylar – “Come Together” – The Beatles – “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Sinead O’Connor
    Joshua – “Kiss From a Rose” – Seal – “Shout” – The Beatles

      • Well — I keep hearing how awesome Jessica is — so I thought I’d give her some Spice Girls and she can add her little BBChez magic and go to town.

        (If you didn’t pick up on the sarcasm for Jessica’s songs — sorry I wasn’t more upfront with it!)

  18. For Jessica: a strong Leona Lewis song+something by the Spice Girls or Natasha Bedingfield (“Unwritten”).

    For Hollie: “Wild Horses” would be pehfect, and something powerful like “Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me” (overdone though) or “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John.

    I’m really scared for Hollie and Skylar this week! 🙁
    Joshua and Phillip, DONT CARE.

  19. according to Wikipedia :
    OrderContestantSong (original artist)Result1Phillip Phillips”White Blank Page” (Mumford & Sons)TBA2Skylar Laine”(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (The Rolling Stones)TBA3Jessica Sanchez”Someone Like You” (Adele)TBA4Hollie Cavanagh”Imagine” (John Lennon)TBA5Joshua Ledet”Oh!

    • As of 11:35 AM Eastern, Wikipedia has taken down the song choices they had posted.  Last week they did the same thing and the final song choices and performance orders were completely different.
      Hollie would never bring anything new to “Imagine”, but I would enjoy seeing P2 do “House of the Rising Sun”.

      • Wouldn’t P2 be better showcased by The Animals song “It’s My Life”?  it’s a cool, defiant song with a lot of attitude.  House of the Rising Sun is a funeral dirge.

      • I’d love to hear Phillip do “Knights in White Satin” — he could give it a nice take…

      • When I looked just now–they still have that list up–are they usually right or are they just guessing every week??  Never looked at their site before and didn’t know if they were ever accurate.

  20. i wonder why jessica doesn’t get the pimp spot(last performance) ever since the top 13 started……

    • Pia did a great job last season with that song. 

      They should stay away from
      “The house of the rising Sun” and “I who have nothing”
      Cause Haley performed that as well. There would be a comparison

  22.  Jessica Sanchez – Valerie by Amy Winehous or Who You Are by Jessie J

  23. Hollie please song the British national anthem….please please please…^^

    • Dreadful idea.  To quote Ryan “This is American Idol”.  Besides the Brit anthem is what we [america] morphed into “My Country Tis Of Thee’.  No.

      • how about manchester city FC’s anthem..OPPS…THEY LOST…1-0 against manchester city…..sory…..

      • manchester city lost against manchester city?  that means they also won?

      • Gues: I think he meant Man U lost to City, but yeah had to chuckle myself, but mistakes happen once in a blue moon.

  25. Jessica Sanchez should do “Footprints in the sand” by Leona Lewis, It could be a great moment for her. It’s a big/emotional song. 
    Or “Don’t Let the Sun go Down on Me” but Pia Toscano did a great job with it last season. 
    (I agree, no ADELE) She can just go with “Who You are” by Jessie J

    Michael Orland (Pianist/Arranger of A.I),
    said that fans of Jessica would be very happy with her song choices this week

    P2-Father and Son would be a great great choice for him!
    Hollie-Let it be by The Beatles 
    Joshua-Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton
    Skylar-First Cut is the Deepest/Have I told you lately?

    Rumors also said that the 2nd Theme for this Week is:
    “American Idol Winners Song”
    If that’s the case, here are my suggestions

    Jessica Sanchez-Battlefield by Jordin Sparks/Because of You by Kelly C.
    P2-We believe by David Cook
    Hollie-Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood
    Joshua-(Stay away from Fantastia ok?)  Do I make You Proud (would do)
    Skylar-Before her Cheats by Carrie Underwood

  26. Joshua should sing “A Kiss From A Rose” by Seal or “Something About The Way You Look Tonight” by Elton John.

  27. I think this is an important week for Jessica. While she does have support, not counting overseas fans from the Philippines who can’t vote, she doesn’t seem to have as much support as some people think (she once was voted off and saved). So far her strongest performances have come from the Diva songs, something I find very boring, and I don’t seem to be alone regarding this. She now needs to find a way to steal the support from the other singers that get eliminated.

    All her fans on this board keep recommending that she sing Leona Lewis, or Jessie or in other words more boring Diva singer songs. I’m not sure this is the way to attract the fans supporting the other singers. If it hasn’t worked so far why should it work now.  I think if she wants to win the competition she needs to go out, take a risk and sing a song that will expand her fan base. She needs to prove that she is a versatile singer that can entertain and connect with voters. I would think that she should be relatively safe this week, so this is the best time to gamble before it is too late. Some people have recommended Amy Winehouse, which would certainly be an improvement.

    • Jessica peaked too early.  Plus, when she sings power ballads, she shines because all she needs to do is sing.  When she tries to do up tempo songs she fails because those songs require the singer to exhibit personality and Jessica doesn’t have one.  Just keeping it real.

      • What you say is likely true as I doubt she will be successful, but if she wants to win I think that is the risk she will have to take. If she keeps singing the same type of songs I can’t see her winning. If she takes a gamble this week and doesn’t succeed, assuming she doesn’t completely flop she still has a chance to recover next week. If she is content finishing 2nd or 3rd then she might as well keep singing these power ballads. I think her, and most of the other artists have improved as the contest has progressed, now she must try and see if she has learned enough  to expand. I watched the Voice last night, and the development of those singers is unbelievable and leap years ahead of the progress of the Idol singers. I doubt it’s just the raw talent, but simply the format of the two shows that results in this. Regardless the Idol singers have improved as the season has progressed. Now it’s time for America to see what she has in the tank.

      •  Guesty, most of The Voice singers (not all) have sung for years (more like Elise) and have had more experience going in.  I heard that the X-Factor is taking contestants who already have agents.  I kind of liked the idea of raw amateurs rather than semi-pros.  That’s why I like SYTYCD and not DWTS- professionals and has beens paired up doesn’t appeal to me.

    •  I am not sure who Jessie is.  Is she some new singer? I suppose I could Youtube her.

    • Who can vote?(1) Toll-free Voting:  Anyone calling the toll-free numbers from an area code from within the Continental U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be able to cast their vote(s) for American Idol.(2) AT&T Text Voting: Any AT&T wireless subscriber who has the ability to text message and has an area code from within the Continental U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be able to cast their vote(s) for American Idol.(3) Online Voting:  Anyone with a Facebook account registered within the Continental U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be able cast their vote(s) using the online method.  

  29. Phillip or Skylar doing “Missing You” by John Waite would be nice too.

  30. son of a preacher man for jessica., joss stone version, this is really nice but all she needs to do is put feeling on it like joss did…..

  32. Jessica will be singing Domino,,,Hollie  will sing Adelle song    
    Someone like you,,as well as SKylar who will be singing Rumor has it and Philips will try House of the rising Sun..i forget Joshua’s song.

  33. “Your Song” by Elton John has a limited range for Jessica, Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me is more suitable for her. This time, NO MORE 2 minutes songs. This is the reason why AI rating is on the decline. Good Luck to all remaining 5.

  34. i’m so done with american idol,for sure phillip or skylar will win .i’m so done with country singer and wgwg.every year they are winning, american idol sucks bigtime.btw we are from middle east.

    •  I am just curious- do you receive American Idol in its entirety on one of your TV stations in the Middle East (where in the Middle East- it is more than one country)?  Do all these foreigners commenting just get AI as a part of their regular programming? I am sincerely wondering.  Do they broadcast it the next day or later that night? Fascinating!

      • yes ,we watch it here thru osn or star world but televised it here the next day that will be thursday.entire middle east ,but idont usually speaks for others  you get into trouble if you do that.but my village here i meant entire village are watching american idol ,btw meddle east and the rest of the are equally when it comes to talent.thers no doubt about that ,anyway thaks for responding.

      • it is shown the next day through fox tv because they have to input  arabic subtitles

  35. we the people of middle east are rooting for jessica to win,she is vey talented .pl ease this year no to country singer and white guy with guitar,

      • actually this is the first time telling people where we came from ,no big deal.unless you push it further.

    • Right on. It will be the end of the world if a musician actually won. Can’t have that can we?

    • Are people in the middle east allowed to watch american TV?    Or is the middle east Maryland, Delaware and like that?

      • we are sane people like you .why we are not allowed to watch american idol is something wrong ,?

      • yeah, most countries in the middle east (arab countries) are airing american TV programs and movies as well.

      • Juvy, we in america here stories about what it’s like in Iran… Bert was only asking if government or religion allowed you to watch American Idol.

  36. Here is the leaked official song list.  It may be flase, most likely true.

    1 Phillip Phillips “White Blank Page” (Mumford & Sons)2 Skylar Laine “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (The Rolling Stones)3 Jessica Sanchez “Domino” (Jessie J)4 Hollie Cavanagh “Imagine” (John Lennon)5 Joshua Ledet “Oh! Darling” (The Beatles)6 Phillip Phillips “The House of the Rising Sun” (The Animals)7 Skylar Laine “Rumour Has It” (Adele)8 Jessica Sanchez “You Had Me” (Joss Stone)9 Hollie Cavanagh “What Makes You Beautiful” (One Direction)10 Joshua Ledet “Somewhere Only We Know” (Keane)

    • 1 Phillip Phillips “White Blank Page” (Mumford & Sons)

      2 Skylar Laine “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (The Rolling Stones)

      3 Jessica Sanchez “Domino” (Jessie J)

      4 Hollie Cavanagh “Imagine” (John Lennon)

      5 Joshua Ledet “Oh! Darling” (The Beatles)

      6 Phillip Phillips “The House of the Rising Sun” (The Animals)

      7 Skylar Laine “Rumour Has It” (Adele)

      8 Jessica Sanchez “You Had Me” (Joss Stone)

      9 Hollie Cavanagh “What Makes You Beautiful” (One Direction)

      10 Joshua Ledet “Somewhere Only We Know” (Keane)

  37. I hope Hollie and Jessica do well on their performances. I want them to be in the finale. 

  39. I would love Hollie to do old schools (classic) Brit female songs like Dusty Springfield or Petula Clark.  Who else?

  41. Time of the Season and Your Song for Jessica????? Aw man, these songs would surely get her voted out of AI!  I think she should do Leona Lewis songs which really suits her singing style.. 🙂

  44. Is it just me, or am I imagining Jessica doing “Valerie” By Amy Winehouse? Whatever happens, I hope she’ll do good, and also to the other contestants as well.

    • There’s a video of her covering that song on YouTube. She does it well, so it would prob be a good choice

  47. Phillip:
    Mumford and Sons-“Little Lion Man”

    Skylar:
    Eric Clapton-“Tears in heaven”
    Norah Jones (not Brit) “Don’t Know Why” if they have an artist choice again, this song is so her.
     
    Jess
    Natasha Bedingfield – “Unwritten”

    Hollie
    Dido -“Thank You”

    Joshua
    Amy Winehouse – “Rehab”

    Any of the girls could do Natasha Bedingfield – “Unwritten” and really nail it, including Skylar. I think who ever did this song…could win on it…it’s up tempo and builds with great runs…a very good song for any of them and very very well known. Listen to it and image any of the 3 singing it in their style…would be tops.

  51. 1 Phillip Phillips “White Blank Page” (Mumford & Sons)
    2 Skylar Laine “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (The Rolling Stones)
    3 Jessica Sanchez “Domino” (Jessie J)
    4 Hollie Cavanagh “Imagine” (John Lennon)
    5 Joshua Ledet “Oh! Darling” (The Beatles)
    6 Phillip Phillips “The House of the Rising Sun” (The Animals)
    7 Skylar Laine “Rumour Has It” (Adele)
    8 Jessica Sanchez “You Had Me” (Joss Stone)
    9 Hollie Cavanagh “What Makes You Beautiful” (One Direction)
    10 Joshua Ledet “Somewhere Only We Know” (Keane)

  52. The right song for Jessica Sanchez is RIGHT TO BE WRONG by Josh Stone it will will fit exactly her voice.But if she will pick the Jessie J. for DOMINO could be also.

  53. Jessica Sanchez – Domino by Jessie J, Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis, Soulmate – Natasha Bedingfield

  54. Hollie Cavanagh “Heroes” by David Bowie
    Joshua Ledet “Angels” by Robbie Williams 
    Skylar Laine “Valerie” by The Zutons Wel 
    Phillip Phillips “Something” by The Beatles 
    Jessica Sanchez “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” by Elton John

  55. PP – Yellow (Coldplay)
    Skylar – Total elipse from the heart
    Hollie – Wild Horses (Susan Boyle)
    Jessica – Angel (Robbie Williams)
    Joshua – No idea…nothing of British suits him!

  56. Im looking forward to hear her own rendition of Your Song, just like Janet Devlin of X Factor during the audition, who impressed and shocked the judges and audiences looking afar…

  57. Jessica Sanchez should sing the Beatles! Help song a super randtion by Tina Turner!!if  u think its not good dont do it!!jessica! a like iT iTs Amazinngg!!!

    • Wow!!!!!!!!!nice recommendation HELP by Tina Turner ok lol.I did that yesterday to pick that song.

  58. So, it’s one British and one from the 60’s that the top 5 will sing tonight!

  59. If it is true that Jessica will sing ‘Domino’ by Jessie J, I would be really glad.

  61. The only thing I can say is I BEG BEG BEG for no Adele. I love Adele. But not the thousands of times I hear her songs being butchered….that being said. My suggestions are:

    Joshua *Father Figure* George Micheal
                  *You Make Me Feel Brand New* Simply Red
    Hollie   *Tears In Heaven* Eric Clapton
                  *Bleeding Love* Leona Lewis
    Phillip  *I Melt With You* Modern English (I like your suggestion)
                  *Heroes* David Bowie
    Jessica *We Found Love* Rihanna
                  *Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me* Elton John
    Skylar  *No More I Love You’s* Annie Lennox
                  *Im So Happy I Cant Stop Crying* Sting (also a hit for Toby Keith)

    My only exception would be I would LOVE to hear Phillips take on *Lola* but not sure if it would go over well for the audience or voters….

    • I agree NO MORE ADELE!!! And rihanna isn’t British, she’s from Barbados.

  63. TOP 5Bottom 2: Hollie and Joshua (Eliminated-80% Hollie, 20% Joshua)

    TOP 4
    Eliminated: either Joshua or Hollie (the one who wasnt eliminated top 5 week…)

    TOP 3-Skylar, Jessica and Phillip
    Eliminated: Phillip/Skylar (50% Skylar, 50% Philip)

    Finale-Jessica and Philip/Jessica and Skylar
    Runner up-Philip/Skylar
    Winner-Jessica

    • I hope ur right. If Phillip Phillips wins, I’m going to stop watching AI. He will be WGWG5. Anyways, hollie and Joshua don’t seem to be that popular. Skylar doesn’t have to split the country votes with anyone, so she will prob come in third. Hopefully Jessica wins, though it would probably be better for her career if she didn’t. The winners don’t usually do so well.

  65. Just Listen to Lola by The Kinks, I Really hope that Phillip Phillips Would Sing that Song…
    Phillips FTW…

  66. No one has mentioned Duffy. I think Hollie would kill it on a Duffy song: Delayed Devotion, Mercy, Warwickshire Avenue or Stepping Stone. All great. I hope she does Duffy or Amy Winehouse.

  67. I wish before this all ended that I could hear Skylar sing Respect by Aretha Franklin.
