American Idol 11 Top 5 – British Theme & the 60′s – Song Suggestions
Reality TVThis week, American Idol‘s Top 5 take on a “British & ’60′s Theme.” Oh man. Well, at least these contestants can still do something current with the ‘British’ selection. They will be signing two songs each. I’m hitting my music collection again to come up with more song suggestions.
With that said, I sat down with my Spotify playlists to crack out some song suggestions for the remaining contestants. It is still sad to me that Elise Testone didn’t make the Top 5 — she could have nailed an Amy Winehouse song. Oh well.
