Here are your American Idol spoilers for the Top 6 week. Every finalist will perform two songs for your votes with a mix of Country and Rock hits. This should push the contestants outside of their comfort zone and make them test their range and impress us with the outcome. Or at least let’s hope so!
So what will Alex, Caleb, CJ, Jena, Jessica, and Sam be performing? Here’s the rundown on tonight’s American Idol song list.
American Idol Spoilers – Top 6 Song List:
- Alex Preston – “Always On My Mind” by Willie Nelson and “Animals” by Neon Trees
- Caleb Johnson – “Undo It” by Carrie Underwood and “Sting Me” by The Black Crowes
- CJ Harris – “Whatever It Is” by Zac Brown Band and “American Woman” by The Guess Who
- Jena Irene – “So Small” by Carrie Underwood and “Barracuda” by Heart
- Jessica Meuse – “Jolene” by Dolly Parton and “Somebody to Love” by Jefferson Airplane
- Sam Woolf – “You’re Still the One” by Shania Twain and “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons
As TV Line points out, seven of tonight’s songs have never been done on the American Idol stage before. That’s awesome for a fresh round of performances. Lots of newer songs mixed in with some classic Country and Rock which should make this a great night of American Idol 2014!
Which singers and songs are you most excited to hear performed tonight?

Positively underwhelming. I hate the song Jolene and I doubt Jessica can muster the power or the energy to tackle the Grace Slick song. So that’s pretty much a death knell for her, and she’s my favorite this year. CJ singing American Woman is weird since he’s American [made sense for the Canadian band Guess Who]. I’m not optimistic about a “moment” this week.
you hit the nail on the head again. possibly jena can do gracie slick but I don’t think Jessica can. even gracie can’t do gracie anymore. jena could possibly do justice to “barracuda” but if you saw “glee” recently and heard adam’s duet on that song, then anything after is probably not that wonderful. as far as cj goes, why is he still here??
Especially singing an anti-american song! It’s a Canadian band singing against the Statue of Liberty to protest the Vietnam War. WTF are the Idol producers thinking? That is wrong on so many levels starting with the show’s title American Idol. They need to rethink that.
without a doubt
Thr producers are British… go figure…. they’re still mad!
Well, as usual… I haven’t expected much and got mostly that… Last week Caleb was great, but so was Dexter- and he went home (it was Dexter’s best week)… So, nothing ever makes sense to me – on this show….. When has the best won? I’m not rooting for anyone —- altho I like smooth CJ…. I wish them all the best vocals ever — make it hard for us & the judges — knock our socks off!
Sam is like the creeping contender…and Jena as well….i have not liked Alex for a while , nor CJ or jessica…she is just stone cold…
I don’t like the choice of Barracuda for Jena. And I don’t agree with Harry, that Jena can sing anything; even though I’m a fan and think she should win!
I’ve listened to Sam’s “You’re Still The One”, Caleb’s “Sting Me”, C.J.’s “American Woman”, Jena’s “Barracuda”, Jessica’s “Jolene” and Alex’s “Animal”… Now I’ll rank them:
1. Caleb- “Sting Me”
2. Sam- “You’re Still The One”
3. Jena- “Barracuda”
4. C.J.- “American Woman”
5. Jessica- “Jolene”
6. Alex- “Animal”
REALLY disliked Alex’s version of “Animal”, not a great take on that tune. Also didn’t enjoy Jessica’s “Jolene” in the slightest. None of these are stellar, crossing my fingers that their other songs are much better.
