"Idol" Wannabes Inducted into Hall of Lame

Posted May 6th 2008 5:58PM by TMZ Staff

Tonight the theme on "American Idol" is songs that influenced rock and roll -- so it's safe to say you won't be hearing anything by Fantasia or Taylor Hicks. TMZ's embedded moles have obtained the song list, so get ready to listen to everything from Bob Dylan to The Who ... get massacred!

7. Why don't you jerks lay off of them. They can probably sing better than any of you. What? Are you jealous or is it just your nature to make fun of nearly every person you mention on your site? How classy.

10. David Archuleta sounds like someone from Sesame Street. Give me a break. He brings new meaning to the word nasally.

12. To be consistent, shouldn't the song list say:

"Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival (cover by Tina Turner)

14. you know what would be really funny? if they had a 'write your own song' night...

and the singers actually had to create their own songs, as opposed to leeching
off the creativity of others.
