Song choices have been leaked, and once again here are some links to YouTube clips of the originals for your viewing pleasure. You are welcome:
David Archuleta is singing Stand By Me by Ben E King (lyrics) and Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley (he is singing the Norah Jones version) (lyrics). Strange choice if you ask me - which, I notice, you didn't. Why not?
Syesha Mercado is singing Proud Mary by Tina Turner (lyrics) and A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke (lyrics)
Jason Castro is singing I Shot the Sheriff by Bob Marley (lyrics) and Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan (lyrics)
David Cook is singing Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran (lyrics) and Baba O'Riley by the Who (lyrics)
I'm excited to have a week where the contestants actually get to choose from a broad pool of song choices, and they have not disappointed with a broad selection of songs. Let's see how they do.
