My new dream job: Choosing music for American Idol finalists. Last week was bad in that regard, but this week was also embarrassing. It's 70's week and no Wings? No Elton John? No David Bowie? No ABBA? No Cher? No Rod Stewart? No Jefferson Abomination (no Elvin Bishop?)? No Eagles? No Electric Light Orchestra?
Why go with a tired Grease revival or multiple Heart failures instead of something like Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You"? And have we truly forsaken "Hot Stuff"?
David Archuleta knocked "Imagine" out of the park, yes, but doesn't 1971 feel like cheating? Shouldn't he have been made to sing "It Don't Come Easy" as the second half of his performance?
Big props to Jason Castro, though, because this is about the best thing that has ever resulted from Andy Gibb.
