I know that I'm in the minority and I'm prepared for that, but I really think that is was David's choice to sing the lyrics either as written or as his dad suggested. Yes, he's young. I get that, but ultimately it was his decision which lyrics to sing on national tv. Welcome to the real world. If he wins, the extra costs incurred should be deducted from his winnings.

I recently saw an interview with Simon stating that they need to go younger He stated that the age should be as low as 14. YIKES.

Blue, I am pretty confident that Simon was being his usual sarcastic self in that interview.

Bluedenim, I absolutely agree with you!! HE sang the song. HE chose to break the rules. HE should have to pay the fines. If you can't follow the rules in the entertainment business your career will be really short.

He had to be kidding. If AI lowered the age to 14 years-old, we'd have 24 Sanjayas/Danjayas competing for the Top 12. I personally think Simon hates the screaming teenyboppers.

Kitty, tonight they singe 3 songs each and they are judge's choice, producer's choice and a song of their own choice.

David Archuletta is also underage. He's not old enough to legally sign a contract. So whether "HE" chose to sign the song or not, the liability still rests with the father.

If you have ever been the victim of a "strong willed" parent you would know that if the dad said to sing it that way you probably would have done it. There are not many kids who, given the circumstances would have defied this parent.

P.S. I would buy David A's CD but I also bought and still buy all of Donny Osmond's CDs. Guess I am always in the minority but given that the Osmonds are still bringing in the money I would like to have been their producer. Maybe AI producers see it the same. Who knows after Taylor Hicks won anything can happen.

Syesha's other songs are supposed to be Fever-Peggy Lee (her choice) and Hit Me Up - Gia Farrell (producer's choice) David Cook's third song is rumored to be American Woman.

At the link above (MJ's), there are TMZ song choice spoilers being quoted. It seems Cook's personal song choice has changed. Once today's rehearsal ends, I'm sure the final final choices will emerge. lol

I read on one site that someone suggested that David C cover "Beth" - by Kiss. I think he'd be awesome on that. The whole rocker-ballad vibe. Update: Cook is singing Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" in addition to the Roberta Flack song, per TMZ

I'm kinda sorta waiting to see what David C does with Roberta Flack's song. I think he'll do a good job, but I think it's kinda mean of Simon to do that. (Both Randy and Paula chose same-gender songs for their idols.)

So, do the judges then mentor the contestants on the specific songs they chose?

I don't think they mentor them on the songs, they just pick the songs they want that contestant to sing.

Luke Menard Diagnosed With Cancer (CBS) Handsome "American Idol" finalist Luke Menard has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a representative for the singer's a capella group Chapter 6 confirmed. "Luke had a lingering cough and was having trouble breathing deeply, so he went to the doctor to have it checked out," Jane Victor told CBS News. "The suspicion was walking pneumonia. But after a chest x-ray doctors saw a mass and did more testing, which is what led to the stage II Hodgkin diagnosis." The 29-year-old singer, his wife and family remain hopeful, Victor added.
