It will be interesting to know if David Cook is receiving anything from the album or not. I personally have a feeling that he is not seeing a dime of it, but we shall see.
I don't know since the theme is Broadway, I think. Personally doesn't thrill me, but we will see. Wonder if David Cook can rock that one up? I think David Archuletta will do well, since Simon like to refer to his performances as "Disney" at times-not too big a leap to Broadway-lol.
I just checked their site and I see it is Andrew Lloyd Weber night, so Cook's choices will be limited. Didn't they do this last year and didn't it suck?
I don't even have a clue who that is. I guess oldies have their place, but not on Idol, when the point is to get "current" stars. IMO a lot of what they do-ie...60's, 70's themes stinks. Now, anything 80's and up is cool because it "relates" to todays music. Just my opinion.
ALW is best known for Phantom of the Opera, but he has written a lot of music for theater. A lot of it is very good, but it doesn't translate well to young pop type artist.
I thought the Beatles thing this year was a low point, because that is one of a kind stuff. But, some of the 60's and 70's stuff could easily be updated for this generation.
