Some Songs Should Be Retired

My last post mentioned two shows, one that I like and one that dislike. Today I have decided that I am going to write something regarding a show that has both of those characteristics:

AND...THIS...IS American Idol! 

(could you just picture little Ryan Seacrest saying that just now?)

I am definitely a hater when A.I. begins their season. I think it is mean to make fun of people who think they can sing but they totally can't. I happen to know a few...

I am a lover when A.I. gets to the top 10 (or 12 or 13 or what ever number they choose to "surprisingly" change it to in an attempt of making the season more exciting). It is so fun to watch really talented people do their own versions or popular songs.

There are have been a few times that I believed songs were so good they should have been retired. Here are my top 5:

5. MacPhee singing somewhere over the rainbow

2. Cute dreads guy (Jason Castro) singing Halleluya. I love that it is not perfect but it is so heartfelt

3. Adam Lambert singing Mad World

2. David Archuleta singing Imagine (very touching, I actually shed a tear)

1. David Cook singing Hello (the song start on second 20, the volume is a little soft for this one, you totally need to turn it up to get the full effect). I heart David Cook

These songs should so be retired. Every time another contestant sings one of these songs, you already know they are just not going to be as good! Therefore, they choose to have a disadvantage in front of millions of fans who cannot forget the best version they ever heard!
I'm writing them a letter.
