It's Disco Week on "American Idol" (don't even get me started), and the top seven hopefuls have a huge challenge ahead of them: How do they sound contemporary while sticking to a genre that hasn't been popular since the pre-MTV era? Song selection is more important than ever, and with two people going home Wednesday night, thanks to the "judge's save" being used last week on Matt Giraud, the stakes are even higher!
Rest easy, Idols. No reason to get those Camile Velasco butterflies. We've got you covered. As long as you skirt the obvious picks and listen to our suggestions, you're in the clear.Adam Lambert
Will Sing: Adam hasn't said "no" to a high note yet, and the glory notes in the chorus of the Alicia Bridges classic "I Love the Nightlife (Disco 'Round)" are going to prove irresistible to him and his rabid fanbase.
Should Sing: We prefer when Adam's wails are reserved for songs with substance. Why not tackle "Band of Gold" — a Motown tune later covered by disco drag star Sylvester — and show "Idol" fans that the song doesn't only belong to season-two divas Frenchie Davis and Kimberley Locke?
Our favorite Matt Giraud performance was back in Motown Week when he rocked the sex-machine swagger during "Sexual Healing." We suspect he could light up Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" by tickling those ivories. At the very least, Kara would feel it.
