Are they doing a repeat or free choice?

I thought Top 3 was free choice, Judges Choice , Clive originally but now Producers pick and Top 2 is repeat song, coronation song, new song/other random b-side coronation shit.

Archtard's is easy:

Judges Pick: The Star Spangled Banner
Archtard's Pick: Imagine
Producer's Pick: I Believe I Can Fly

Top 3 is usually judge's choice/Clive or AI producer choice/ singer choice. Last year, Jordan and Melinda did repeats for their choice while Blake did a new song. I think it may have been one of the factors in Blake getting into the final 2. Hopefully, AI will force the final 3 to perform a new song rather than a repeat--maybe we'll actually get a chance to hear them do a song that was released in this century.

If they do repeat Syesha better do, "I Will Always Love You" and it has potential to be epic.

BUT, we need someone to fill in the quota of singing "I Have Nothing" (someone has done it season 2 through 6) and I sure as hell don't want Archie or Cook doing it.

Repeat:
Syesha - "One Rock n' Roll Too Many"
Cook - "Always Be My Baby"
Archtard - "Imagine"

Judges:
Syesha - "If I Ain't Got You" (she did better than Alicia Keys on it when she was on The One)
Cook - "Kryptonite"
Archtard - who cares? Randy will pick his song and proceed to overpraise it.

Producers:
Syesha - "Bleeding Love"
Cook - "It's Not Over"
Archtard - "Best Days" (that Graham Colton song from semis)

I'd love to see them do something new and say that each of them has to pick a song that another one of them has done in the competition. I'd love to see a more direct comparison or an opportunity to show a different kind of artistry. Picture Syesha doing "Imagine" or Archie doing (a more standard version of) "Hello" or Cook completely re-inventing "I Will Always Love You". That "theme" would be entertaining to me...

I really don't see them picking a song from another idol. The contestants always get ripped for it.

Not when they have their heads up their collective asses over Cook (and Archtard).

I just don't see the producers putting the judges in that type of spot; either saying the person did better than an idol or it didn't measure up (I don't see them doing that unless it's to Syesha, and she already rode that train with Fantasia).

That's a terrific idea.

History of Judges Choice

Season 1:
Randy: Kelly "Without You"
Paula: Nikki "Black Velvet"
Simon: Justin "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

Season 2:
Randy: Kimberley "Anyone Who Had a Heart"
Paula: Clay "Mack The Knife"
Simon: Ruben "Smile"

Season 3:
Randy: Diana "Because You Loved Me"
Paula: Jasmine "Mr. Melody"
Simon: Fantasia "A Fool In Love"

Season 4:
Randy: Carrie "Man! I feel Like a Woman"
Paula: Bo "Satisfaction"
Simon: Vonzell "On the Radio"

Season 5:
Randy: Taylor "You Are So Beautiful"
Paula: Elliott "What You Won't Do For Love"
Simon: Katharine "Over the Rainbow"

Season 6:
Randy: Melinda "I Believe in You and Me"
Paula: Blake "Roxanne"
Simon: Jordin "Wishing on a Star"

Indicates that a contestant was eliminated.

Looks like Paula choosing your song is the worst option. Randy and Simon have chosen for winners, Paula's never chosen for a winner. 3 out of 6 times the person Paula chose for got the boot. Look for Paula to pick Syesha's song this week. Randy is the 2nd worst option, 2 out of 6 times he chose for the eliminated contestant. Only 1 time out of 6 did Simon choose for the eliminated contestant and 3 times out of 6 he chose for the person who won.

The one time Simon did choose for the 3rd placer I think he made an excellent choice and it worked well for her. Vonzell just wasn't pre-destined to be in the F2.

Honestly, I think Paula chooses decent songs for her contestants (with the exception of "Mr. Melody" which was horrible). IMO, Randy chooses the worst songs. They're always typical/overdone/obvious song choices that results in mediocre performances that Randy overpimps.

Do we really believe that each judge picks independently for one idol? I don't think so. I feel like the producers come up with these choices (perhaps with a little collaboration from ALL of the judges) and then each judge just delivers the choice to one of the idols.

I thought the same was true when each judge supposedly chose one of the wildcards...

The choices should be picked by all 3 judges anyway. On CI all 4 judges collaborate on each of the song choices for the Top 3 and much better choices get picked.
