Oh, the CSI song? That’s a good song, but “Wolf” - not so much for me. But, David is totally going to own the stage with these numbers. Excellent “cookie” selections.

Now, now, MCL, I KNOW you know David C’s songs! http://youtube.com/watch?v=hKUBTX9kKEo I had no clue that this is called Baba O’Reilly and don’t know why it is called that, but you’ll recognize it!

And I’m sure your know “Wolf” after you hear it http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lv6Cr5LZStE

Does this help?

I’m not familiar with David Cook’s song choices, so can’t really comment one way or the other.

David A. - I love “Stand By Me”, but the Norah Jones version of “Love Me Tender” sounds flat to me.

Jason - eh - hard to say. He may sing them really well, though. Both are tricky songs - the artist really has to “deliver” or these numbers run the risk of sounding like novelty songs.

Syesha - Proud Mary is “overdone” - not a good choice. “A Change Is Gonna Come” is excellent though.

MCL, I loved it! It’s nice seeing a lighter side of them.

So…TMZ has the song list for tonight out:

David A — “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King and “Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley (cover by Norah Jones)

David C. — “Baba O’Reilly” by The Who and “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran

Jason — “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan and “I Shot the Sheriff” by Bob Marley (cover by Eric Clapton)

Syesha — Syesha Mercado — “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner and “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke

What do you think?

Rereader - those icons are neat, aren’t they?

They are all courtesy of WordPress.Com, another one of the new upgrades that they are offering to their growing list of bloggers.

I believe the design beside each name is based on your email address.

Oh, and MCL, I’m loving the pretty icons for those of us who don’t have any of our own!

Aw, wadahoot beat me!

I was initially quite surprised by “I Shot the Sheriff,” but considering those pre-Idol clips, we might be getting a chance to see something closer to the “real” Jason tonight. Should be interesting, anyway!

For what it’s worth, I ran across a link to this site today–it’s got free downloads of a few songs Jason wrote as well as some pre-Idol covers: http://www.daydreamingboy.com/music.htm
