BABY, WON'T YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND: Idol judges' choice selections, spoiled via MJsBigBlog:

  • Ellen DeGeneres chose “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney for Crystal Bowersox
  • Simon Cowell chose “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen for Lee DeWyze
  • Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson chose “Daughters” by John Mayer for The Outlaw Casey James
How many times will that song appear in a Simon Cowell talent competition? Enough already. But Crystal's selection could prove awesome, and TOCJ has been handed a song that gives him the change to approach his "Jealous Guy" in terms of tone and musicianship.

As for what the performers should choose for themselves, I'm still working on that -- but you're likely already a few steps ahead of me.
