Get ready for a trip down memory lane on American Idol 2015 this week as the Top 9 hit the stage under the wings of Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.
The final eight contestants will pick a song from Clarkson’s catalog of hits from more than a decade of performances since she took the first American Idol crown. While that’s definitely be a lot of time with many great songs from Kelly, the obvious concern is the limitations as well.
Mentor Scott Borchetta spoke with FOX All Access about that potential issue and what they were doing to offset it:
“While there are a lot of great songs, there is not a lot of great songs. You’ve got a really finite amount of songs to work with. So, we are going to be working overtime on the arrangements to make sure they are as great as they can be.”
So we could be getting familiar songs with unfamiliar arrangements to help mix things up and keep Wednesday night’s Top 8 performances fresh for American Idol 2015.
