Ahhh yes I love that Switchfoot song!
I like Aerosmith, but I don’t want to hear Cookie singing DWMAT on the freaking Idol stage. Then again, he could change my mind. The Switchfoot song isn’t so bad, but I hope he can speed it up a little; it takes a while to get anywhere good.
Major trainwreck potential for Archie tonight on “With You”…I hope. VFTW might get another field day!
The silver lining here is, of course, that the last time this song was heard on the show was when it was sung by Antonella so, really, it can’t and won’t be worse.
Personally, DC’s prob. the only person who could make me not loathe that horrid song, but he’d have to overcome about 10 years of hatred.
A Christian rock band? An Armageddon song? Is this Idol suicide or what?
OK, a few deep breaths are in order here.
I wish I could believe that this song, if he’s doing it, will be the kind of 2-minute punch he needs. The song choice challenge is this: it can’t just be a song people like a lot for its message or whatever. It has to be a song that can have an opening, bride and big finale in TWO MINUTES.
Am I the only listener that doesn’t get how that could happen with this Switchfoot tune?
The only thing I’ve been worried about with Cookie is that he’ll pick a real outside, edgy-indy thing, cause that’s what he loves most, and blow the contest — which relies heavily on votes from mainstreamers….
Ahhhh… The played-out “Armaggedon” song. Didn’t someone already sing it this season? I know Anotella Barbarella sang it last year during her heyday. Dianne Warren is never far away from these proceedings, is she?
oops, meant “opening, BRIDGE and finale”
You’re not alone. It’s a nice song, but it’s rather dirge-like. I’m not sure it’s the best choice.
I wonder too if DC pulled a fake out on us. His camp has been so tight with spoilers all year that I found it hard to believe he was so casual about announcing his song choice. I hope this is the situation and not another forced change by the producers.
ETA….got off my lazy bum and tubed that Switchfoot song. Nice song…but DC is going to have to cut and paste that thing to squeeze it into 1:30. Fingers and toes are all crossed!!
I’ve always said if I were on Idol, one song I would certainly perform is “Dare You to Move” by Switchfoot.
Make me proud, David Cook.
There’s ONE good piece of news; DC didn’t choose that song himself.
