We have the American Idol 2014 spoilers for the Top 7 song theme tonight and we have to say, this is one of the coolest themes ever. The Top 7 will be doing something totally new and fresh in the next round that’s never been done before on American Idol. We can’t wait!
We’re down to just the Top 7 on American Idol 2014 and we’ve got your American Idol spoilers for tonight’s theme. Instead of some random, general theme handed down by the producers, the finalists will be singing songs given to them by… the other contestants!
That’s right, the Top 7 will each sing a song chosen for them by the other finalists next week. Each of the singers — Sam Woolf, Alex Preston, Dexter Roberts, Jena Irene, CJ Harris, Caleb Johnson, and Jessica Meuse – will pick a song for each of the other competitors. Then each finalist will be presented with a list of the six songs chosen for them to select one from to sing. Check out the official press release:
MALAYA WATSON IS ELIMINATED ON “AMERICAN IDOL XIII” NEXT WEEK, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 13 SEASONS, THE IDOLS’ FATES ARE IN EACH OTHER’S HANDS
THE TOP SEVEN FINALISTS COMPETE IN A “COMPETITOR’S PICK”-THEMED PERFORMANCE SHOW WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, ON FOX
See Who Survives the Elimination on Thursday, April 17
Malaya Watson was eliminated tonight on AMERICAN IDOL XIII, after she received the fewest votes. From Southfield, MI, the 16-year-old sang “Through The Fire” on last night’s performance show.
Next week, on Wednesday, April 16 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the Top Seven –C.J. Harris, Jena Irene, Caleb Johnson, Jessica Meuse, Alex Preston, Dexter Roberts, and Sam Woolf – will perform on the “Competitor’s Pick”-themed performance show. For the first time in the series’ history, each finalist will select a song for their fellow finalists to perform, leaving each singer with a list of six songs from which to choose.
With only five weeks left until the new IDOL is crowned, tune in Thursday, April 17(9:00-9:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), to find out who survives next week’s elimination.
Oh, and for those wondering when we’ll finally get to the viewers’ #idolrequest suggestions week, we haven’t heard yet but we’re betting it could be a nice follow-up to this whole “Competitors’ Pick” theme.
Can you believe one of these seven Hopefuls will win American Idol 2014? We are getting close to the May American Idol season 13 finale, so stick with us as we press on.

if you’re a smart competitor, and know a little something about “survivor”, you will pick a song you KNOW your competition CAN’T sing!! hee hee. that would really spice up the show
ITA. I’d love for them to really punk eachother. Like:
CJ – “MMM Bop”/ Hanson
Jena – “Coal Miner’s Daughter”/ Loretta Lynn
Dexter – “Music of the Night” / Phantom of the Opera
Caleb – “Cattle Call” / Eddie Arnold
Sam – “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” / Bobby McFerrin
Alex – “YMCA” / Village People
Jess – “I Never Promised You a Rose garden” Lynn Anderson
Yeah, I’m evil.
no, dear. you’re brilliant!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha. I don’t think producers would let them get away with it, but that would be hysterical. Some of those songs – LOL!
What about “You’ve Never Been This Far Before” by Conway Twitty for Sam!!! Bring him outta some o’ that bashfulness!!!
You are naughty!
That seems so obvious, but I imagine any sabotage would need to be subtle.
Actually, I can imagine them forming alliances where they agree to submit a song for someone if that person agrees to submit a song they want for themselves. And if they are working from a limited song list, whoever gets to pick first gets a break.
I really enjoy the show 🙂
Would love to see Jena back on the piano this coming week, hope she sings ‘Zombie’ by the Cranberries or ‘Human’ by Christina Perri. Really want to see the softer side to her!
Very well said Maria Johnson
I’m not sure why, but my comments are now being removed, so I am going to stop using this site. Best wishes everyone.
You may have been flagged? It’s happened to me before.
You don’t have to use curse words to get rem-just controversial.
I expect cheat sheets to be passed from one contestant to another, etc.!
This could be interesting
Caleb should sing Metallica
On a less mischievous note, what I’d really like them to sing is:
Dexter – “Get Together”/Youngbloods
CJ – “What A Wonderful World”/Louis Armstrong
Jena – “Mean”/Taylor Swift
Caleb – “Still The Same”/Bob Seger
Sam – “59th St. Bridge” [Feeling Groovy]/Simon & Garfunkel
Jess – “Just Like Jesse James”/Cher
Alex – “Key Largo”/Bertie Higgins
I like the other ones better, especially your choice for dexter!!
I’m with Stormy! How about these?
Caleb – Fireflies by Owl City
CJ – Dream On, Aerosmith
Dexter – Nice and Slow – Usher
Jena – Ordinary Girl, Hannah Montana
Sam – Rebel Yell, Billy Idol
Alex – Baby, Justin Bieber
Jess – Smooth Operator, Sade
I’m evil too! I really had a hard time coming up with something that Jena and Alex couldn’t just change to suit them.
Sam doing Rebel Yell would be fun! !
I think Jena and Alex could make anything their own.
Caleb – anything Meatloaf
This is cool. But we can see also who will be the judas in this. If someone wud choose song for his co-finalist something that may destroy him in the competition, surely, it’s just like digging a hole of his own. Pretty sure the following week, that person will be hated and eliminated. So they better be careful too.
It would only be fun if they all did it. And no voting that week, just like half time hi-jinks.
Here is what I’d like to see:
Alex: “True Love Ways” by Buddy Holly
Sam: “Poor Little Fool” by Ricky Nelson
Caleb: “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” by Meatloaf
Jessica: “Crazy” by Patsy Cline
Dexter: “Something About a Boat” by Jimmy Buffett
Jena: “Dreaming of You” by Selena
CJ: “You Send Me” by Sam Cooke
Note: Selena’s “Dreaming of you” was last weeks (80’s)
suggestion that I picked for Jena to do.
I’d like to hear Jena do Demi Lovato’s “SKYSCRAPER’ (on the piano)!
No.
Caleb should sing “Devil with a blue Dress” by Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels.
ick
I used to love that when I was a kid. Caleb has a good voice for it. 🙂
Idk but surely im not the only one who thinks caleb is the total pkg and he so looks and reminds me of meatloaf. Im 25 so yes I like meatloaf and I like like like caleb to he will go all the way
Caleb is a parrot. All he does is copy lead singers from rock’s golden era. There’s zero originality in him. He has an excellent voice, but in this incarnation all he can look forward to is being in a tribute band. Kiss 2.0, Led Zepagain? He needs to establish a style that is his own.
I don’t think Caleb is capable of originality. He seems like such a pompous jerk, to top it off.
I know. I wish he’d stretch a bit and maybe do something like “Sometimes When We Touch” by Dan Hill or “This Aint A Love Song”/Bon Jovi. And I’d love for Jessica to do something deeper like “I’ve Never been To Me”/Charlene or Linda Ronstadt’s version of “Desperado.
And about Malaya, she was too hyper for my liking. Her manic behavior was almost as irritating as Sam’s total lack of personality. BUT, as always, we all get our own opinions.
Malaya needs to mellow. She was too young and too hyper. Gena doesn’t appeal to me. Not music I would want to listen to. I just don’t think she is that stupendous. CJ needs to work on pitch, if that is possible. Caleb? I agree with Stormy … no originality. Not much of a future with that. I think the rest of them could make it, and I also think Alex is very original. I can see him having staying power. I think he is a genius. Jess has a good, strong voice. Cher and some of the others are getting old now. We need a Jessica. Sam is adorable and sings pretty perfectly. Dexter could do well with all the folks who like country music, which is a LOT! Did I forget anyone?
Did anyone else notice that now that it is getting down to the wire, there have been some comments from the judges that sound extremely scripted? Keith delivered two of them to Caleb after his performances. One comment was about an “airbag in slow motion”. I forget the other one. The two highly scripted comments didn’t sound natural to me, and it made me wonder if he scripted them before the performances, or if someone else did, like a producer. Anyone else notice that?
I can’t really wait for the idols’ next showdown. This is really fun. And of course, what I am excited the most is the upcoming performance of SAM WOOLF. I’ve been tracking his performances eversince the start of the season. I really believe he will be the next substantial American Idol. Sam would make History on American Idol!
I’d like to hear Dexter sing , You are the love of my life – Sammy Kershaw
Alex should sing Fireflies by Owl City. That would be a great song choice for him!
