AMERICAN IDOL 2013: TOP 9 SONG SUGGGESTIONS


The top 10 American Idol paid a tribute to the Idol winners, and now they're gonna pay a tribute to one of the biggest English rock bands during the British Invasion era. Yes, we're talking about The Beatles. The top 9 will be singing songs by The Beatles, or any song in the Lennon-McCartney songbook.

This is the first time that I'll be suggesting this season because I really didn't know what kind of artists they were, but I've watched them perform three times now, so it's really time for my song suggestions. I'm quite excited with this week's theme because I just love The Beatles. Let's begin...


  • Amber Holocomb - I Want to Hold Your Hand - I think this is the best song for her. I think she can play with it a little bit. The song really fits her voice, and I don't really like Amber when she sings upbeat songs.
  • Devin Velez - The Long and Winding Road - A big song with a deep meaning. This song's just perfect for him. It'll be phenomenal if we'll see a great connection, not only to the song, but also to the viewers.
  • Janelle Arthur - Blackbird - One of the greatest songs ever recorded by The Beatles. I'm not really sure if this song would help her, but based on her voice, this is the song for her. This song plus some drama, and more personality from her will make it perfect.
  • Lazaro Arbos - Hey Jude - A really hard song to sing for him, but I will be really, really impressed if he's gonna nail it. I just want him to take on a song that is really big, and that will really showcase his voice. Last week, his song choice was a bit weak, and something this big might just help him get everyone to put him in the top 3.
  • Kree Harrison - Come Together - This girl will surely shake America if she's going to sing this song. I suggested this song because I kinda see a rock vibe in her. She'll surely remain in the top 3 if she's gonna sing it.
  • Burnell Taylor - Eleanor Rigby - An upbeat song for the guy who sang the wrong song for his first week in the finals. This song will really help him step it up because this song is not boring, and it is really awesome if he'll be able to put the right things in the right direction in terms of singing.
  • Candice Glover - Oh! Darling - It's the perfect song for her. I was reminded of her when I heard Sara Bareilles covered this song. The energy she brought to the stage on her "I Who Have Nothing" performance fits this song very well. I can already imagine the perfection.
  • Paul Jolley - Across the Universe - One of my favorite Beatles song. I think this song will really help him make it to the top, and I really think that if he's gonna sing this song, he won't be in the bottom 3. Please pick this song Paul! Please!
  • Angie Miller - Let It Be - This song is one of the songs that we all expect every Idol season. The challenge for her is to have the best version. I think she can pull it off, and I think it will be one of the most phenomenal songs ever covered on Idol if she's going to sing it.
