‘American Idol’ spoilers: Theme for Rayvon Owen, Jax, Joey Cook, top 7
What we can tell you right now is that the remaining contestants (Rayvon Owen, Quentin Alexander, Nick Fradiani, Clark Beckham, Tyanna Jones, Jax, and Joey Cook) are going to be performing “American Classics.” Yes, that is not even close to being the most creative theme in the world. We’re probably going to be hearing a whole lot of songs we’ve heard on the show before, even with fans voting on it via Twitter. Given that thousands of fans have submitted ideas, there’s bound to be a few who just want to hear some of the same familiar songs done the same way.
Now that we’ve said that, there can be some real soul and creativity behind a classic song, and we rather hope that it blows Billboard Hot 100 week out of the water. There were some decent performances in there, but we were somewhat disappointed in how there weren’t as many creative song choices as what we were expecting. Even “Make It Rain,” while somewhat original, was already done on “The Voice.”
We’re going to wait until a little later in the week to figure out our full rankings, but for now it feels like Clark is starting to distance himself even more from the crowd. You will be able to read them at our “American Idol” landing page over here.
