QotD: American Idol

Question: What song would you perform if you were on American Idol?
My Answer: I can't sing very well, so I really wouldn't be on American Idol. That having been said, were I forced (by, y'know, hot chicks or a large sum of money) to perform, I'd have to go with a Bob Dylan tune. After all, he can't sing either, right? 🙂 But on the more serious side, something like a Bryan Adams hit or even Robert Palmer. Pop music. I wouldn't dare sing R.E.M. or Toad the Wet Sprocket, my favorite groups, because I'd merely be insulting their talent. Plus, they were more artistic than most "pop" crap, and pop crap is what gets you good scores and lots of votes.

I can't sing either, but I'd do Destiny Calling by James. I'd love the irony of singing a song about record company flavors of the month.
Plus, the lyrics "She likes the black, he likes the posh one, cute ones are usually gay" could be used to make fun of Simon. 🙂
