Oh My Ra - Slash Helps with Rock Week on American Idol?

The other day, Slash Twittered that he was asked to be the "mentor" next week on American Idol. Yeah, next week is rumored to be rock week. When I received this Twitter I squealed and my husband admonished me. He totally doesn't get it. You see, people, we're talking about Slash and Adam Lambert on.the.same.show.talking.rock.music.

Glamtastic!

On and on I kept saying I could feel a week of epic proportions ahead. Now, to be clear: rock week is not confirmed. It's not even certain Slash will participate on the show. We should know for sure tomorrow night.

Tonight's theme is Big Band week. I'm excited as every week because that means hearing a new song from Adam - but I'll be honest: I wish we could skip ahead to rock week.

There are already tons of threads on American Idol forums around the Interwebs with people speculating what Adam will sing for rock week. See, from now on the contestants get to sing two songs per episode. That's double the Glam, Shaggy!

Adam would be well suited to play up his Glambert side. Yeah, I said Glambert. He can do one power ballad and one rocker and just go ahead and put the nail in the coffin on this competition. Some critics say small Kris Allen is gaining on Adam. I suppose that's the case if most Americans want another Jason Mraz. I sure don't.

You knew I was going to ask, so here it is: what should Adam sing for rock week?

The popular choices among most Idol fans are "I Remember You," "Sweet Child O' Mine," "Paradise City" and "Dream On." I would argue Adam shouldn't sing Guns n' Roses just because of the Slash factor. I'd love for Adam to sing "Caroline No" by the Beach Boys (yeah, they are considered a rock band) and "Nobody's Fault" by Aerosmith. Beyond that, I'm not guessing!

"Caroline No"

"Nobody's Fault"

I'll post about tonight's episode after it airs on the east coast.

Liam, yes, it remains to be seen if the dude can be a frontman of a real band, with their own songs. But, he sure as hell can sing.

xxxxxx couldn't have said it better...I mean, "WOW"!

Your site is dedicated to losers like us spewing whiny comments. And, I use the term loser affectionately. I mean, the shit and backlash I've received from posting on here...OI VEY!

you basically insulted every poster on here as this IS a forum inviting commentary. I was one of the first posters on this site and helped endorse it on many other '80's sites; not looking for acolades, just stating facts.

Like xxxxxx, I'll take her advice. enjoy your site and good luck with it.
