The Judges’ Song Contest returns to American Idol tonight.
Longtime fans of the show know the drill. Each coach recommends a song each member of the Top 8.
Each singer then has to select one of the three songs to perform, without knowing which judge suggested it.
In the past, this theme has led to some of the absolute best Idol performances, including Abi Carter’s breakout performance of “Bring Me to Life” last spring.
At the end of the night, two singers will be at danger of heading home.
Then the judges will step in to save one of those two singers.
As always, I’ll be posting song by song grades as soon as possible after the show.
