I bet you thought it was Teen Idol week. So did I. We were wrong. Americanidolnet.com is confirming a theme change for this week from teen idols to “Billboard #1 hits”.
I find this kind of disappointing since “teen idol” week was going to be new territory for idol. I am assuming that they changed the theme because neither Britney Spears nor Frankie Avalon were available for guest mentoring. There remains, however, a rumor that Miley Cirus will sing this week on the results show. Party in the USA!!
I think many people were pretty surprised last week when Lacey went home, which goes to show that the person that doesn’t do as well often gets votes because people fear they will be sent home, and then the people who did well get forgotten. With that in mind, I think this week has the potential to get a little crazy solely because with a theme as huge as “Billboard # 1’s”, picking the right song is a real challenge. If you want to get a taste for how many songs we’re taking about, here is a list of the Billboard #1 hits from the 60s alone.
I dare Andrew Garcia to do an acoustic guitar version of TLC’s “No Scubs” – Billboard #1 hit from 1999. Just in case you had finally gotten that song out of your head:
The mentor for this week is a secret, though again, with this theme the choices seem endless. Perhaps they will try to go with someone that has had a long of Billboard hits. The Beatles have the most #1 hits of all time, but we can assume they are out for obvious reasons. Guess who #2 is, though? Mariah Carey! No one loves to show up for stuff more than Mariah Carey, so my money is on her. The full list is here.

I think Andrew singing No Scrubs would sound awesome! I can hear it already..."I dont want no scrub, a scrub is a guy who cant get no love from me. Hangin out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, tryin to holla at me." (I didnt have to look that up) Thanks for sticking this one back into my brain.
I'm sure Justin Beiber would have been thrilled to be on Idol! The 10-15 year old would have been sure to vote!
The song choices have definitely been ALL OVER the place tonight. And many of them...just bad.
Could we have a triple elimination week when we wipe out Andrew, Tim, and Paige? They were all horrible.
Maybe it's because I have him #1, or maybe it's because I love Back to the Future, but I liked Casey's Power of Love.
I liked it Casey last night too! But I do think it's because I have so much nostalgia for that song and because he's so damn cute. I also thought Katie sucked this week and was surprised the judges said anything good about it. But, man. Paige was just painful.
