So, I had an idea. Every season, American Idol proclaims that it has the best group its ever had. No matter what, at the beginning of each season, we always hear this. Am I right? Of course I am. With this in mind, I came up with an idea for a possibly genius American Idol theme of the week. If this is your best group ever, why not make them prove it on a "Songs of Past Idol Contestants" night?
Think about it, the show/record company already owns the rights, so clearing the songs wouldn't be a problem. It doesn't just have to be idol winners, any past contestant would count (Like Daughtry, or Jennifer Hudson). You have a diverse range of genres, and a number of possible well known songs. I'd love to see Allison rock out to early Kelly Clarkson, or see Lil attempt to tackle Fantasia and fail.
But that's the thing, either way, great success or huge failure, it makes good TV. Let's face it, mediocrity is boring. Things make entertaining TV when they're either really good or really bad. And if you challenge the Idols to prove their place within the greater Idol canon or fail trying, well, that would be a week of American Idol I'd be sure to watch.
