MJ's Big Blog has an interview up with Paula where she states that the top 8 theme is Songs From the Year You Were Born. It's going to be basically 80's night minus 1 (Allison). So what suggestions do we have for Megan, born in 1985, if she somehow defies all odds and makes it through?

Like a Virgin, Madonna
Material Girl, Madonna
Dress You Up In My Love, Madonna
Take on Me, A-Ha
Sugar Walls, Sheena Easton
Obsession, Animotion
Private Dancer, Tina Turner
Walking on Sunshine, Katrina and the Waves
Solid, Ashford and Simpson
California Girls, David Lee Roth

Don't play it safe, Megan. You see what that gets you. You have to come out and have fun. If you're even around. Even though everyone thinks you're going home tonight, we're holding out hope.

"Like A Virgin", "Material Girl", "Walking On Sunshine", or "Private Dancer", (especially "Private Dancer"!!!) just to see Simon's blood pressure go higher and higher until he explodes all over Ryan Seacrest. That would make American Idol worth watching, just to see that!

Really hoping she does "Take On Me," complete with ear-shattering high notes. :)

That's it....I surrender!

After listening to the Holy Trinity +1 of judges, why don't we just let these "experts" pick the damn songs for the contestants and be done with it??

Geez, if I hear anyone of them pick out a song after the fact, I am gonna scream!

I think she should do 'Neutron Dance' by The Pointer Sisters. She could dress like a sunset stripper and give us more of her smooth mooves.

I can only hope for We are the World

or how about she does Axel F, singing 'do do do duh duh dah dah duh'

Smooth Operator by Sade would be outstanding

Sorry Analog ^ if anyone is doing Sunglasses at Night it better be Scott. Hopefully he'd wear a pair and I wouldn't have to look into his dead eyes! Of course, I'm sure he'd reserve Careless Whisper by Wham!
