here's another suggesting. bring back Dunkleman. (sp?) lol at least he would put Ryan in his place. lol
Word Nerd Rocker
Those are pretty funny...and in all honesty...I wouldn't mind a 90's pop themed week. That could be fairly entertaining.
Sleela
Can I just say how happy the idea of DC singing Hot In Herre makes me? laugh.gif

Mix a little bit of ah, ah with a little bit of ah, ah.

Hahahaha.

I will officially be thinking about this and laughing for the rest of the day. Thank you for that.

Ahh, as a huge Grease fan, I'd love to see a Grease week laugh.gif I totally agree about the group number. I would love to see that laugh.gif Yes, I'm a musical nerd :-p

LOL Thanks, Sleela. Now I'm going to have the same image in my head all day laugh.gif And Brooke White doing "Ignition"...omg laugh.gif

All those in favor of Hip Hop week, thus hearing DC sing the lyric "So take off all your clothes" and hearing Archuleta sing "Drop It Like It's Hot", say aye!

AYE!

Oh yeah I would definitely want to see DC take it off as long as Archie is just singing because he is just a boy tongue.gif

Oh, no, for Archie...I want to actually see him 'drop it like it's hot'. Have him attempt that booty shake that those women dancers do. "Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot..." laugh.gif

AYE!

The more I imagine Hip Hop week, the funnier the mental images become. Hahahaha.
Jason singing In Da Club. LMAO. I am actually kind of hearing that in my head, and it's terrible in an awesome sort of way.

But I'm kind of a closet hip hop fan anyway. laugh.gif OK, maybe not so "closet". But I am slightly ashamed of how much I love it. Hahahaha.

And all the finalists doing the Soulja Boy dance in the group number... I would pay good money to see that.

Although instead of Hot In Herre, I think DC should sing Party Like A Rockstar by the Shop Boyz. I mean, duhhh. cool.gif
Chelsey loves Cookie
laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Those would be ah-mazing!
Zandra
Grease week would be amazing! I loved the reality show (I think it was aired in the US an year or two ago?), although my favorite didn't win.

roflmao at "Crank That" group performance too biggrin.gif but please no "Against All Odds", I'm so sick of it. It's so overdone in Idol shows, probably the most overdone. I pretty much hate it nowadays laugh.gif

My all time favorite theme is Big Band/Standards, because it's kind of hard to flop with those songs lol. And because I want David to sing "Just A Gigolo", it's like one of the most priceless songs I've ever heard done in these shows.
BethRiot
Maybe they should try Grease week next season.
Sadly David won't be a apart of it obviously. tongue.gif
T.C. Robson
Speaking seriously, I think they should try an acoustic week. Give some of the Ricky Minor band a week off. laugh.gif An acoustic week would really show everyone's true talent. If you can't sing with just a guitar backing you up, you can't sing.

David would kick ass during that kind of week.

I've thought about that too! I think that'd be amazing. I'm kind of obsessed with anything acoustic. Plus, like you said, David would do well with that theme, as would Jason, and they're my favorites so naturally I would love to see them do that theme. laugh.gif

I've also always wanted to see a Sting/Police theme week, because, well, I love them, and they've got a pretty broad catalog that I think could fit just about any contestant's style. Plus I think Sting would be an awesome mentor. He's pretty much my hero. wub.gif

Annnnd I've always said they should do a Disney song week. I know that sounds kind of silly, but there are some great Disney songs! Imagine DC singing something like The Circle Of Life or A Whole New World. It would be badass. Also I would like to hear Brooke sing A Spoonful Of Sugar from Mary Poppins, because that would just be adorable.

Haha, OK, I'll stop rambling now. tongue.gif

Me too. I adore acoustic renditions of songs. It's like taking all the theatrics out of a song and showing the true meaning and vulnerability behind it. Perfect for a group of singers trying to show their aptitude.

EDIT: Oh, new theme idea! How about Bob Seger week? Holy crap, I would keel over of a heart attack if David ever sang "Night Moves".
Ellen
Hahaha, my family and I have always bounced around ideas for crazy theme weeks, aka "stuff we know we'll never see..." laugh.gif

I think it'd be funny if they had Ozzy week.

...If only for the fact that I think it'd be hilariously creepy if DA sang Mr. Tinkertrain. I could totally see DC doing something like Road to Nowhere, Mama I'm Coming Home, or Shot in the Dark (love that song).

They could also do Weird Al week, lol.
T.C. Robson
Ozzy week would ROCK!
miss.gee
soundtrack of cartoon/animation movies...i'm big fan of cartoon movies. It's funny thinking DC would sing Spongebob theme. biggrin.gif
eleanor
awesome! i really like the idea of them doing High school musical, and the hiphop!!
hehe but seriously, they should do a "grunge" theme..yknow, nirvana, pearl jam, etc. and maybe have dave grohl as mentor

Hahaha, that's so funny because David comes just above David Lee Roth in my iTunes and that's the first song that comes up. So everytime I'm listening to David on my iTunes it usually goes from him right into "Just a Gigolo" and I start laughing everytime because I think of what it would be like if David sang it.

They've done 90s before. I would love to see them do it again.

That would be fun and funny. He'd prolly totally change it up.

How about Brady Bunch theme? Or would that be too much of an advantage for David A? lol

Or I'd like to see a "Previous Idols" week, in which they would perform songs by Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and some contestants that didn't win, like Daughtry and Elliott Yamin, etc. I think that would be pretty interesting. I've no idea who would be the mentor...
Kate13
Snoop Dogg needs to mentor so we can have David Cook do Gin and Juice, all rocked up.

And Archuleta doing Drop it Like it's Hot would be too, too funny.
piperlily
I think it'd be cool for them to take 2 genres and blend them together somehow. Force them all to be creative.
Or take 2 decades and blend them together.

Or like metal week, but they can't do them as metal, they have to do the songs differently -- make them into something else -- like pop, hip-hop, jazz, blues, etc.

Or take a lyric and put it to a different melody.

Challenge them more in this sort of way, so maybe they'd get how to be a musician.

HIP HOP WEEK FOREVER!! LOL

High school musical week!

OMG! I f'ing love "Hot In Herre"! It's one of my favorite hip-hop songs EVER. It's perfect for DC! smile.gif

Sheela, I totally heart your idea of Sting mentoring the contestants. He is such an amazing songwriter - and there would be MANY song choices to select from his catalog as well as The Police's. If David did "Why Should I Cry For You?", I'd be in HEAVEN. wub.gif
Sarawr
Hey don't count anything out. I was always saying they should have a Bon Jovi week (since I love Bon Jovi till death) and everyone always laughed at me...but then it happened biggrin.gif So really anything can happen smile.gif
