- Joshua Ledet – April 9, 1992
- Phillip Phillips – September 20, 1990
- Shannon Magrane – October 21, 1995
- Skylar Laine – February 1, 1994
Now, I'll suggest songs from the oldest to the youngest contestant. Here we go...
1983
Elise Testone - "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
I'm not really sure what to suggest to her, I found only a few good songs which really fits her voice from this year, and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is the best among those songs. I think she will really put a good twist into the song with her voie, and I definitely think that she has bigger chances of making it to the Top 11 if she will do a song like this.
1985
Erika Van Pelt - "Freeway of Love" by Aretha Franklin
I was thinking "We Built This City" at first, but if EVP would sing that song, it would only sound karaoke, so I suggest that she takes on this song. The song would definitely showcase the rockstar in her, and hopefully, with this song, she will not end up in the bottom three because I think that it would be memorable.
1986
Jermaine Jones - "My Hometown" by Bruce Springsteen
If he wants to stay in the competition, I think he should put a twist to a song just like this one. It's a rock song, and it's gonna be hard for him, but if he sings it like it's his own, I'm sure that it would definitely sound good.
1989
Heejun Han - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Simply Red
Heejun has a really soulful, soft, buttery voice, and that voice deserves a song just like this one which was covered by Simply Red on his birth year. This is the song that best fits him, or maybe if he wants to do omething upbeat, he can definitely put a twist to Paula Abdul's song "Straight Up" the way Andrew Garcia did two years ago. We'll just see.
1990
Phillip Phillips - "Praying for Time" by George Michael
This is more of a challenge than a suggestion. I have to say that when I heard his studio version of "Superstition" last week, it didn't gave me the excitement which he given me when he performed on the Idol stage, so this week, I just want him to do this song, and we'll see if he could really connect with any song. I'd say he is a great singer, but there's just no connection.
1991
Colton Dixon - "Black or White" by Michael Jackson
It's the best song for one of the best singers in the competition. This guy can definitely do another twist to this song the way he did with his song last week. "Black or White" was rocked out by Adam Lambert on season 8, let's see if he can do better, if ever he's gonna take on this song.
1992
Joshua Ledet
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" by Elton John or "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men
He will definitely take America with him if he does one of those two songs. There were many great music in 1992, but these songs would really showcase Joshua's voice and save him from being in the bottom 3. Well, it was actually bottom 6 last time, but who knows?
1993
Hollie Cavanagh - "Hero" or "Dreamlover" by Mariah Carey
"Hero" has been covered many times on Idol, and if this girl sings it, she has to do her best to make her version the best among all the Idol contestants who covered the song. Maybe, if she wants to do something that would really show people that she an do anything, she should just do "Dreamlover" and own it.
1994
Skylar Laine - "Independence Day" by Martina MacBride or "Piece of My Heart" by Faith Hill
The girl was forced to come out of her roots last week, so this week, let's give her a chance to sing something country. For a slow song, she could take on "Independence Day" because it is one of the best songs ever written, and I definitely think it's for her voice, or if she wants to bring that rockstar with her on stage, she could do "Piece of my Heart." She can do anything, and I think she's one of the best singers this year.
DeAndre Brackensick - "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men
DeAndre has a great voice, and that voice deserves a song like this one. That's all.
1995
Jessica Sanchez - "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson
This girl has a big voice, and everyone is saying that she should win. Well, I said that she can sing anything, and she proved that to us for the past weeks. This week, I want her to sing this song because I want her to be inspired and be more confident. Well, she is confident performing, but after that, she will act like she didn't know that she did good. Just confidence.
Shannon Magrane - "One of Us" by Joan Osborne
This girl can sing, and I think she can rock it out this week with "One of Us." It talks about God, and I just see her singing something inspirational, she should also take on softer songs because it really shows us what kind of artist she is.
WHAT'S UP THIS WEEK?
Daughtry will be performing, the top 12 will become top 11, and the Judges' Save may be used from this week until the top 5.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD THEY SING? Comment.
