Slash on American Idol! Preview Commentary...

Evil

As reported here earlier, Slash is gonna be on American Idol! How killer is that? Very impressed the Idol producers were able to pull it off.

With it being Rock Week, this basically spells the end for Whimpy Kris Allen. That guy has a vagina and a half. I'm pretty curious what song he's going to perform. It's a no-win situation for him. If he attempts to really rock out, he's gonna fall flat on his face. No authenticity. I say there's a good chance he's going the "rock ballad" route and perform with his acoustic guitar. Something along the lines of "More Than Words" (Extreme), although he probably doesn't have the vocal chops for that song. He could also go totally whitebread generic and do a Bon Jovi song. Maybe Kris should just full-on embrace his gayness and perform "Sweet Child O Mine"... the Sheryl Crow version!

Red-Headed Sex Pot Allison can go in a million directions for Rock Week. This is her bag, baby! By the way, is she losing weight week by week? She's looking better and better. I think a throwback choice like Cinderella could be cool. Granted, they are not the rockingest band out there, but she has that gravelly voice, which would be good for Cinderella songs.

Tricky week for Danny Downey Jr Gokey. Luckily for him, he'll suck less than Kris so it doesn't matter much what song he performs. If I were him, I'd go rock ballad. He could do a good rock ballad justice. Something like "Wild Horses" (Rolling Stones), "American Pie" (Don McLean), or any of the five dozen rock ballads by Aerosmith.

Now with Adam Lambert... if Adam performs a song NOT sung by either: Axl Rose, Sebastian Bach, Chris Cornell, or Steve Perry, I will be sooooo disappointed. He would kill a Journey song. And you know Randy will wet his pants with excitement because he can throw out the line, "I used to be in Journey..."
