We’ve been waiting for the official word on this week’s American Idol 2013 Top 5 songs and now we’re finally getting spoilers straight from executive producer Nigel Lythgoe.
The rumor has been for several days the Top 5 would be performing two songs. One from the year they were born and the other would be a “Diva Song.” Branden made his recommendations for the Diva performances and now we can confirm the theme of songs from the year the finalists were born.
Nigel began tweeting song reveals in some not-so-cryptic messages such as what we could expect from Kree with
#Kree is so good “She Talks to Angels.”

“She Talks To Angels” is from The Black Crows in 1990 which is Kree’s birth year so there we go.
MJs reports Candice was mentioned in a Tweet from Nigel, but it’s no longer in his profile.
@PaulaAbdul wait until you hear Candice singing your song “Straight Up” on #americanidol this week. I’ll bet you’ll love it.
MJs points out Candice was born in 1989 which Paula’s hit arrived a year earlier in 1988. Could that song be from the other theme or did someone get their year’s mixed up? Considering Nigel’s message was removed perhaps they realized the error.
We’ll keep watching his account for more reveals, but here’s the list of the singer’s birth years as we try to piece together this week’s American Idol 2013 spoilers.
Amber Holcomb: 1994
Angela Miller: 1994
Candice Glover: 1989
Janelle Arthur: 1989
Kree Harrison: 1990
Based on those years, what do you think the Idol Hopefuls should perform on Wednesday?
Update: Nigel is tweeting more song spoilers. Angie Miller will perform “Halo” by Beyonce. Janelle is covering “Dumb Blonde” by Dolly Parton. Amber preparing to perform “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life.”
Although Kree’s talking to Angels it is Angie who has got a “Halo.”#americanidol

Janelle is no “Dumb Blonde.” She’s channeling #Dolly.

I wonder what Amber “is doing the rest of her life?” #americanidol#AmberSingsBarbra

Iam not sure what is going on? Kree has no personality what so ever! Candise blows her away. Amber is gettin all 50 of my votes tonight! Why? Jimmy Iovine said Amber is gteat. America just doesn’t get her. And I don’t know why? I agree with Jimmy. Amber reminds me of a young Whitney Houston. Who I loved so much. The sound of an Angel was taken away from us with the horrendous drugs!
I don’t get Amber either. She does nothing for me as a singer and talk about no personality. Boring!
kree is country and strong for votes -as has been lately on AI. She is also the most professional in my opinion. Candice has the best vocals but is overweight-causing some to vote elsewhere-especially the teenyboppers now that “no boy” is in. I think Angie and Kree will now get the teenybopper vote. So Candice will go to 3rd place leaving Angie and kree to sing for the win-in my opinion.

You should really watch the show. Turns out Kree has a big heart and is the “mother for the group”. She has a infectious smile and great dimples. It’s your bias that has your judgement clouded. Ambers shown almost no charisma or personality….that is why she always seems to be in danger. I do want to point out the last number of weeks she has either been the 2nd or 3rd best singer after Candace and sometimes Kree. America for whatever reason isn’t buying what she’s selling so far.
Don’t blame the drugs Ms. Houston took them she has to own the pine box. Sorry but that’s the truth.
I know Whitney took the drugs. And every person has a free will that god gave them.I know the truth about her. It just saddens me that people are given these great talents from God. And they squander them.I do watch the show every time it is on. I can’t put a finger on why it is I don’t care for Kree. she seems like a very nice young lady. she just does’t seem to have much of a personality! And in the tough music business she will have to have one. Oh well America is going to decide who wins.
Sherry, if you uncheck the box w/ the Facebook comments it will not post it to your Facebook account. You also do not need a Disqus account to comment. You can just type in your name each time. That works just the same as the old comment system.
I think Kree should sing Black Velvet.
angie should sing Zombie! it was released in 1994 =)! i so believe that she can be AWESOME in that one… she could try with Always by bon jovi, but maybe it is toooo crazy hehe
Live’s lightning crashes, 1994; Kate bush’s this woman’s work, 1989; tff’s w/ oleta adams woman in chains, 1989; indigo girls’ kid fears, 1989; kd lang’s nowhere to stand, 1989.
CANDICE- She has the high range, the power, the emotion. her tone is very strong, sometimes smooth falsettos and incredible rasps. She got it all vocally however she lacks star power
KREE- Kree has the voice of an angel, For her voice is very soothing and relaxing, She’s not even trying to do many runs and oversinging it, She has the confidence. But her problem is her vibrato is shaky at times of high notes. yet it’s incredible that she can stretch a top mountain pitch.
ANGIE- She has the total package. when I first saw her I predicted that She’ll be the winner. She has the looks of a star that people will admire her. Angie yet her voice is great and her vibrato is very clear. But she may have a problem with Kree and Candice.
AMBER- She’s a diva, She sings like Whitney and Beyonce. She can do very clear continues vibratos and when she stretches her voices higher it gives me goosebumps. but Amber has a problem. But I don’t know what it is that makes her lose.
JANELLE- A good Country singer, She has a soft and calm country voice and I love about her is her airy voice when she do falsettos but she lacks power and when she sings every time it makes me bored. She has the star power but she won’t be the next american idol.
REPLY your Guesses guys! 🙂
candice, kree, and angie will end up as the top three. it’s theirs to win; they’re all great. i love amber and don’t understand why people don’t take to her. janelle reminds me of a worldly kelly pickler. all five girls are great performers and should do well in the music biz. but now every idol performance must be outstanding
