Song Choice, Song Choice, Song Choice

WARNING: THIS POST COULD SPOIL THE SURPRISE OF AMERICAN IDOL TONIGHT, AND IT ALSO COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH HYSTERICALLY. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Here are the song choices for our contestants tonight. I'm just not sure about Kellie Pickler and Bohemian Rhapsody...yikes. Oh, and Bucky...no.

Ace Young, We Will Rock You: "I urbanized the verses a little, just by riding on (the notes). I put a little R&B soul on it. When we were done, they said, 'That sounds like a record.' "

Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls: "Yes, we all love the fat-bottomed girls."

Chris Daughtry, Innuendo: "It's a relatively unknown song. It just had a mixture of a dark feel and a positive message. And I just found out they've never performed this live."

Elliott Yamin, Somebody to Love: "I was drawn to the passionate emotion of the song. I heard a lot of soul in it."

Katharine McPhee, Who Wants to Live Forever: "How could (this) not be fun? We're working with so many different legends."

Kellie Pickler, Bohemian Rhapsody: "We only have 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the song is really long. Having to cut so many pieces is really hard to memorize, because I'm not singing the song as it's originally played."

Paris Bennett, The Show Must Go On: "Being with the band was a big experience to me, never being with a rock band before. I was able to pick a song that fits me, that's still rocky."

Taylor Hicks, Crazy Little Thing Called Love: "You listen to a Queen song, it's really melodic and very powerful, and the dynamics (are) really cool."

I am not a fan of Queen music. One of my favorites Mandisa was voted off (not by me - I voted for her). I was going to cut Chris or Elliot from my favorite group which includes Paris. Mandisa is gone, so they will stay a little longer unless one of them gets cut on Wednesday night.

I called in many many votes for Paris, and several for Chris and Elliot.
