According to TVGuide.com, songwriter Diane Warren is tonight's guest judge. They will be singing Diane Warren tunes.

Blech. Well, since Joshua has already sung "Ah Don' Wanna Miss Ah Thang", what is he going to be singing? Most of her songs seem to be written for poppy females. Or they are ballads.

I really like that song she wrote for Faith Hill from "Pearl Harbor". "There You'll Be" - maybe Trenyce will sing it.

didn't she write and or sing "love lift us up where we belong" from 'officer and a gentleman'?

Tabby, yes, I think she did. I could definitely see Clay singing "Up Where We Belong". Although isn't that a duet between Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes?

And I take it back, I think Trenyce will sing "Un-break My Heart". I see Carmen attempting Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me".

I think Joshua could sing "Faith of My Heart"- the theme to "Enterprise". I could see how he countrifies it.

I love the song Unbreak my heart. But I think it has more to do with Toni Braxton singing it than the song itself.

Wow what a collection of songs, I had no idea she was so prolific.

Grooch you are right about Miss Toni's version, $5 says Trenyce will give it a whirl. I do so prefer Kimberly Locke trying that song.

Also wanted to add some other Diane Warren hits:

Solitaire - Laura Branigan 1983

How Do I Live Without You - Trisha Yearwood and Leanne Rimes both sang this tune.

If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher

Love Will Lead You Back - Taylor Dane

There's many, many more. Just wanted to add a few more.

I didn't start watching last years show until they were down to six and they always sang 2 songs in the shows that I saw. The judges picked one and the contestants picked the other.


Does anyone know if they are going to do this again this year?

I forgot all about that, LL.

LL.. that starts next week.. just read it in my paper this morning.. (the two songs, one chosen by the judges, one by the singer)..

Judge's choice was just one week last year. Are the plans to extend this procedure through the end of the show?

Are you sure Wcv63, I know my memory doesn't work as well as my mouth but I thought the judges picked one every week I watched. Maybe what I am remembering is them singing 2 songs.

Seamonkey, what did the paper say?

Very little this week..

"Who had that "714 (loves) 205" sign in the American Idol sudience last week? Nice to see a little local representation. (714 is my A/C).

Fox hasn't announced Tuesday's theme as of this writing, but the chat boards were buzzing that it would be Diane Warren night. let's hope not! And can Carmen please go this week?"

===

OK.. where on earth did I read the bit about the judges starting to choose one song next week? I know it was this morning.. this is really really strange..

I'm totally confustigated!! I know I read it, today.. but where?

AHA.. just figured it out. I got in the mail today a TVGUIDE that came from signing up for digital cable.. it is for next week and there is a blurb there.. that indicates that this starts not next week but the next,

"High Five. The competition rages on as the final five take center stage. So far, the vocalists have been allowed to pick their tunes from within each show's theme. But soon that will end. After tonight's (4/29) battle (and tomorrow's results show) one more hopeful hits the road and those who remain face a new set of rules.

"Once we get down to four," says producer Ken Warwick, "the kids will sing two songs ... one of their choice and one which the judges will pick specifically for them." Which should be interesting, given Ruben Studdard and the gang's fondness for ballads and belting. Says Warwick, "Now they've got to sing what [the judges] want."

<Tells Kool to 'shoosh'...> you do just fine! I think I'm bad too, but I've learned those in the later time zones don't care how many of us there are, or how bad we are.

They are desperate!!

Llkoolaid...the only song that Kelly sang that "Judge's Choice" last year was "Without You." They did start singing two songs each week when they got down to 5...

Of course, my memory could be failing as well. I have the Lordy, Lordy BD soon and it seems as if everything has started falling apart.

I'm here and can help out for a while. I'm expecting an important phone call so if it comes in during the show (and I hope it doesn't) I will have to leave.
