Ban This Song on American Idol: "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone

"Feeling Good" had its debut during American Idol season 6 when 2 semifinalists decided to sing it the same week. Both AJ Tabaldo and Leslie Hunt were then voted out the next night. Ouch. But Leslie left us with a gem, singing, "Why did I decide to scat? America don't care for jazz." Since that was one of the best VFTW singouts in the history of the show, and because Leslie is right about American Idol viewers hating jazz, karaoke versions of the song should have died there. But then Adam Lambert dressed up as a mutant milkman during season 8 and screamed out a shitty version of the song. This then led to Katie Stevens attempting it during season 9, setting herself up for many bottom 3 trips.

So what's the moral of the story? Don't sing this song on American Idol unless you want to go home. American Idol is looking for a pop star and this song doesn't fit the bill whatsoever. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life... so let's retire this song already.

I know you don't want any sparkle cow facts but that was the only week Adam was in the bottom 3.. He almost went home when he did 'Feeling Good' and not even we the sparkle cows could help..

Man, I love that song, too. Every time someone would sing it on Idol, I just put my head between my knees in preparation for an abysmal crash of disappointment.

I was waiting for this one to be posted. It seems like each time someone sings this, it becomes more and more painful to listen to. So just don't even try.

On a side note, I think "I'm Yours" should be on this list. During season 8, the idols performed an unbelievably terrible version of this, not to mention the countless Hollywood rounds people sang this terrbily as well.
