I don't see any of the contestants handling a rock n roll song well next week unless it is along the "soft rock" side ...it won't surprise me if it is their worst outing yet.

Actually, I could see David C and Syesha doing well, especially if the latter can find a good Aretha Franklin song to belt out. I do agree about the other two, however. I've been racking my brains, and I can't think of any pure rock & roll song that David A or Jason could sing. It completely goes against their image. I can well see this being the worst week for them.

Was Diamond merely singing about a woman? I thought so, too, from the first verse. But then the second verse talked about stumbling into a chapel and finding the path of truth and love, so I wasn't sure.
I think people need to look at the lyrics, seriously.

Here is a link to the "500 songs that shaped Rock 'N Roll"
There are a lot of songs there that all of them should be able to find something they can sing.

If someone was raised in an elevator, then that means they were exposed to easy listening. I'm sure songs like Hey Jude & Yesterday were arranged for easy listening. So, no one can say they never heard anything by the Beatles. kd

I just can't see Jason belting out some rock and roll, unless it's along the lines of The Beach Boys.
Syesha is getting to be one of my favorites, I think with the right song choices, she could be in the top two.
I think David A has a good voice, but my guess is it's not strong enough to hold out without damaging it.
If this is a talent competition and nothing else, David C will win.
Just my opinions.

Oh come on...Jason could do a depressing Nirvana song easily  
I'd love to hear David C. sing something by The Fixx or Live - haven't seen the song list to know if that kind of rock is on there.
Ya know if David A would just do a song that was a fun-crowd pleaser, he'd be fine, too.
Syesha might have a challenge unless she went with a good rocker like Tina Turner or even Joan Jett's I love Rock-n- Roll!
Ought to be interesting to see the choices.

Melissa, posting the entire lyrics to a song is a TOS violation. It's also a copyright violation. You're allowed to post a verse or two and then link to the entire thing. Just a li'l hint from yer ol' Uncle Bill.

Unfortunately, Joan Baez didn't do rock and roll. However, maybe he could sing Elvis' "In the Ghetto." Or something from U2.
Was Diamond merely singing about a woman? I thought so, too, from the first verse. But then the second verse talked about stumbling into a chapel and finding the path of truth and love, so I wasn't sure. I would love to hear other people's opinions. I must say that it sounded like many a Christian song on the radio now.
oh, no...not the "CCM is evil thread." 
I could so see David A singing "In the Ghetto" - what a perfect song for his savant abilities. Maybe he could channel Elvis while doing so? 
Or maybe Bono. The more I think of it, the more I think a U2 song would fit him. That would fit his "got to save the planet" mentality.

I think that Neil Diamond was really singing about grace - if I may do so, let me share the lyrics with ya. We can all discuss our take on the song then.
Whoo hoo! I am definitely buying his album! Thank you for that link.
quote:
Remind me at some point to tell y'all about a couple of country songs that are out right now - by Aaron Watson and Dolly Parton. I printed out both and have them in my Bible - I love to read their lyrics and fully absorb their messages.
I'd love to hear them. As I said earlier, so far this season Dolly was my favorite guest mentor. I loved hearing "Travelin' Through" so much I downloaded the orginal version.

Jason did make a gesture when Ryan announced rock & roll week (what does that gesture mean anyway?), so he must be into the idea. He might just surprise us.
I'm kind of surprised at their lack of knowledge for the older tunes, maybe it's due to geographic location. My son is 21 (22 in June). He & his friends are all into the old southern rock & they listened to the stations that play that music. He was pretty shocked to see that I had Def Leppard Pyromania in my record collection. Decided mom was pretty cool after all! They also like the old country (Grand Ol Opry) music. I will have to check w/ him to see how well he knows Neil Diamond. I knows some Dolly. Not so sure about Mariah since that style's not really their thang. It surprises me that out of so many auditioned, they would end up w/ a group of folks that were pretty sheltered. Almost reminds me of that Brendan Fraser movie - can't remember the name. Worse than being raised in an elevator! kd

A perfect example of why you should've submitted to your husband. LOL!! (Oops, that's for another thread.)

I thought he was doing a rock & roll sign.
