American Idol: Greatest Hits And Creator Song Choice, What Should The Top 2 Sing? Commentary By RTVC Senior Staff Writer Joseph Braverman May 22, 2011
"Crazytown"
This week on American Idol, finalists Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery will be singing three songs.
The first is a song they have already done before, AKA Greatest Hits, a song chosen by Idol Creator Simon Fuller, and finally a written song they will be performing as their first official single.
The third song is irrelevant in suggesting, but I can definitely do the first two. Here it goes:
Got thoughts? Post them at the end.
Lauren Alaina is up first and for her repeat performance I suggest her single best vocal to date that showed some semblance of maturity and vocal control, not to mention emotion.
This performance I am choosing is “Candle in the Wind” from Elton John week.
While “Turn on the Radio” may be a fun song, at this stage you have to choose a song that really sells yourself as a strong vocalist, and this was Lauren’s shining moment of the competition.
For the creator song choice, I’m giving Lauren a song to belt out that, if she sings right, she may very well deserve to win the season.
Lauren has been given a lot of hate on the internet, mostly rightly and deservingly so, but if she sings Dixie Chicks “I’m Not Ready to Make Nice,” a Grammy winning song, Lauren will shut up all the haters, show that personality and edge we so desire for her, and even the harshest skeptics may think twice about not giving her the win.
