a fun post - please take part

i think this will be fun - so i hope everyone here will join in.
if you could pick the songs for the top three contestants to sing - what songs would you pick for them.

for David A - my pick is Garth Brooks the Fever

for David Cook - my pick is Josh Turner Have Mercy On a Country Boy

for the best of the 24 my girl Syesha the only one that got my votes this season Rascal Flatts - Stand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8zWb0-pCbQ

Mae I'd love to join in this fun but my favorite music is 25 years old or older other than Taylors of course, I'm old what can I say. The songs I'd pick these kids would probably never have heard of before ha ha..

:D mae. Well, picking for Syesha is sort of a moot point as she is now off the show. However, these are my picks for the Davids.

David Cook:

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zepplin
What You Need - INXS
Livin On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf


David Archuleta:

I Want You, I Need You, I Love You - Elvis Presley
Lord Gave Me A Mountain - Frankie Laine
Waiting For The World To Change - John Mayer
God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You - N'Sync

As far as any country music for either I tend to like the old country so would appreciate hearing music from people like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, however I think the music of Rascal Flatts is also pretty good.

I'm choosing one they've sung before, 1 they haven't, and 1 from the top 20 songwriter songs. As this could be what they actually will do.

David Cook
1. Something Like Heaven - from the top 20 A.I. songwriter songs

2. I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - He just sang this but I really liked it. Here's the studio version. I really like it.

3. Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi (he sang this already for his audition and the homecoming but I want to hear the whole thing with good sound!)
The audio is in and out but here's him singing it.

David Archuleta
1.When You Come From Nothing - from the top 20 A.I. songwriter songs

2. Smoky Mountain Memories - his best so far never got close to it since.

3. You Raise Me Up - Can he do better than Josh Groban? I'd like to see if he could.

yea however this post is just for fun, and picking for the Davids is also moot considering we really have no say.

however keep in mind that this post is for fun

:) Your right mae, this is only for fun. When Syesha was on the show I would have liked her to sing several of my favorites by r&b singers. Below are are few examples:

Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin
Gee Whiz by Carla Thomas
Hurt by Timi Yuro

We All Sleep Alone by Cher although she is not an r&b singer.
Walk On By by Dionne Warwick
Just Fine by Mary J. Bligh
Locamotion by Little Eva

I am sure there are others but can not think of them right now.

I'd like to hear David Cook sing :

Open Arms by Journey (David Cook style)
Jealous Kind (by Joe Cocker)
Sweet home Chicago
for David Archuletta

Faithfully
Cant Buy me Love
Beautiful (by Christine Aguilara)

THESE WOULD BE MY FUN PICKS!
