I thought I'd get this started early!

So ... Elton John week. Elton John has such a great song selection yet they will inevitably pick some obscure songs that no one has heard of or some song that is completely unsuited to their performance style. I hope they prove me wrong.

I also think this week favors the women because it will be much easier for them to make the song "their own" as the judges would put it.

So any guesses about who will sing what and what the best song choices would be?

I'd place money on Pia singing Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word.

Paul seems a natural for Crocodile Rock.

I was thinking Paul would sound good singing Levon.

Is there a country ballad for Scotty to sing? I can't think of any.

Bet he sings Tiny Dancer. Tim McGraw covered it, my guess it would be one he knows.

I'm looking forward to that too. Maybe he'll sing Levon?

When are they allowed instruments this season? I wonder if anyone will play the piano?

Paul might go with Benny and the Jets OR Crocodile Rock.

Didn't Paul play his guitar last week? Or someone did...

I think you are right about the guitar...it kept him from doing his spastic dance moves.

Oh I hope Scotty doesn't sing Tiny Dancer...that is my favorite song of all time! Just can't picture him doing it.

Would love someone to sing Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, The One or Empty Garden even though it's kind of a downer song.

Pandaaaaaaaaaaa !!!! Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is one of my favorite Elton John songs. Unfortunately, it is probably too obscure for this crowd - not to mention that the entire song is 11 minutes long.

I love Empty Garden. Elton John's songs are a great combination of music and meaningful lyrics. Many of them are rather long though, so they will have to be very abridged for the competition which is a shame.

Lexie!! Actually a friend reminded me of that song earlier today - it is a long song though.

Picturing some Lion King songs tonight: Can You Feel the love? or Circle of Life

Circle of Life was the song that got JHud eliminated. Here's hoping Lauren decides to do it.

I wonder if Scotty is going to sing tiny dancer or candle in the wind. I can see him doing candle in the wind.

Tish, it was Barry Manilow week the week that Jennifer Hudson got eliminated. Barry was the guest mentor. I'm pretty sure Jennifer sang "Weekend In New England".

OMG Naja, you're totally right. I always think she got eliminated for her ummmmmm....bombastic performance of Circle of Life. Barry Manilow Week was the time JHud, Fantasia, and LaToya were all in the bottom 3.

And that was what set Elton John off. The fact that all three were in the bottom three.

As much as I like Elton John I think he was off base on that one.

So it was racist, but not sexist?

I hated Fantasia, but loved JHud...

Yes, she isn't a voice for people who don't like r&b music. Those of us who grew up on it, though, and those in the business, feel quite differently by and large.

That's just it, I grew up listening to R&B and hip hop way more than anything else. I didn't even venture to country or rock until I was almost 18. I just never like the gravelyness of her voice. Was not melodic or harmonic to my ears, just scratchy raspy, much like Macy Gray to me. I was pretty shocked at her winning, as if I was listening to something completely different than everyone else.

I loved both Fantasia and JHud in their season. Both blew me away.

Me too, Bonza. I also loved LaToya. I was always shocked at how much the judges dissed JHud.
