"Idol" Wannabes Gag Us with Inspiration

Posted Apr 5th 2008 1:15PM by TMZ Staff

Classic songs have been butchered every week on "American Idol" -- and next week they are taking stabs at the ones that inspire them. Jesus take the wheel!

Until TMZ moles obtain the song list -- and we will -- we've created a song list the wannabes should consider for themselves.

David Archuleta: "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna
Kristy Lee Cook: "Don't Speak" by No Doubt
Michael Johns: "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by Rolf Harris
Brooke White: "Crybaby" by Mariah Carey
David Cook: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion
Jason Castro: "I Am Not My Hair" by India.Arie
Carly Smithson: "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra
Syesha Mercado: "Don't Forget About Us" by Mariah Carey

23. When the heck is Christy Lee Cook gonna get voted off? She should have been gone a month ago! What's wrong with America????

24. And what is the appeal with Jason? Is it his dread locks? Is it his sweet, shy demeanor? Is it that he can play a guitar? It can't be his singing!

28. I don't understand what Michael Johns is thinking. That is a song off the Wiggles, Simon is going to hate it.

29. David Cook's heart better go on because I have money on him. And hospital drama aside, he's the best. By a big margin too.
