themes for season eight

What themes would you like to see for season 8???

here is some of my choices

Modern Whomp
Judea/Christian
before they were contestants - have the season 8 contestants sings songs from the former contestants that they record before they were contestants
Rockabilly Hall of Fame
Original Song Night - the contestants sing songs they write themselves

Good choices mae. Of past themes I liked the songs of the 50's and when they had songs from Bon Jovi the most. My themes would include those but would like to add the following:

Songs of the 80's

INXS music

Motown would be okay but not their usual songs they sing from that era, maybe they could pick a particular artist like Smokey Robinson or Marvin Gaye

Country night would be okay if they picked music from people like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty or Loretta Lynn, etc. I like the old country music, can you tell?

On season 5 finale they had the group sing songs from Burt Bacharach which would be another theme they could do

I doubt they could sing an original song as many of these contestants do not write their own music so instead I would like them to sing a song from their favorite artist

How about the music of Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Madonna or Cyndi Lauper. Each of these women do have songs that would fit a guy or a girl

The music of Barry Manilow who has had tons of hits. Tom Jones or Van Morrison is another consideration

:) I could go on and on about different artists. I just hope they do something different this time as I have kind of tired of the usual stuff our contestants have to choose from.

I liked the 50's song choices and oh heck there were not to many that I didn't like, not being a country music listener I didn't care a lot for the Country music but that's just me. I agree that I don't think they'd do an orginal song theme, I guess for me that would put the judges at a distanvantage and not be able to "stike it to the idols" because they woudln't know how it was suppose to sound ha.. Otherwise I'm ok with most themes as long as they dont' do the Beatles 2 weeks in a row ha ha..

I doubt the would consider songs from one faith over any other. Too many would be offended, I feel.
