Default **American Idol The Top 3

From MJ's blog:

Judges picks:

Randy Jackson chose for Taylor Hicks: "You are so Beautiful" by Joe Cocker
Paula Abdul chose for Elliott Yamin: "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell
Simon Cowell chose for Katharine McPhee: "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland and many others.

Entertainment Tonight has announced Clive Davis's song choices for the Top 3:

Elliott Yamin: "Open Arms" by Journey
Taylor Hicks: "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen
Katharine McPhee: "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly

The third songs are not confirmed, although Taylor's personal choice is rumored to be "Try a Little Tenderness", which he wanted to perform for love song week but wasn't allowed by the producers.

I'm loving Taylor's choices, Elliott's aren't so great.

As far as I'm concerned, if those are the songs, Taylor is now a lock and Katherine is finished.

I am really happy with Taylor's songs as well. I am hoping for a nice bump in his price, so I can break even and freeroll with the rest of my shares.

Taylor is a cert to win IMO. Get your money on now if you haven't already.

I'm not sure there is such a thing.

I would not be surprised at all to see both of the final two idols trading at 60 or higher at different times before the final results show.

This was my first year doing this and I lost a ton early on because of my inexperience. I lost about $150 on Ayla, redeposited and got back on my feet.

I have been solid the rest of the way, expect for having to swallow 29 shares of Pickler.

I have had alot of fun doing this and expect to make a decent amount oh next years idol know that I know what to do/expect.

I'm not OP but I was behind up until the move last week. I'm embarassed to admit I put a whole 1/3 of my investment on Ayla. I could sell off half my Taylor and freeroll the rest, but I have too much confidence in his ability to win right now.

Agreed, could they have picked worse songs for Kat?

I disagree. Simon's song is perfect for her. She will absolutely nail a broadway-type song. I also like the other choice as long as she does not go over the top with it. She has a beautiful voice and these songs should be perfect for her.
