The problem is that these songs come from a place of grandiosity, not one of sincerity. It's sad that the biggest moment in a young adult's life can be
reduced to 2 + minutes of simple and mind numbing cliches. They should let either a REAL songwriter write the song or maybe even one of the past winners, who
can base the winning moment on personal experience.

Can you imagine Kris or Adam singing A Moment like this? It would be horrible.
The problem is that you can't write a song that's just for anyone, epically if you don't let them rearrange it. That's why picking from a group of songs makes more sense. You can have a country song and a rock song and a folk song for them to choose it. But to have a rocker and a folk singer sing a huge balad is just stupid. |

The only original songs that should be allowed are ones authored by the contestants themselves. If a contestant thinks he or she can write a song that will
help them win, have had it - but be prepared to lose.
But if they're going to insist on having these guys sing new songs written by others, they ought to do those songs first since they never, ever showcase the contestant at his or her best. |

Completely agree. This year was the worst because when one of the judges is involved in writing it, you know they have a favorite and will write to benefit that person. This was clearly written for Danny to "outshine" Adam. Instead, it was awful for both Adam and Kris. (Though it would have been awful with Gokey no matter what because he's, well, Gokey.) At least with AI2 (and maybe others), they prepared 2 coronation songs once it got down to F4...one fit two of them better, the other fit the other two better. They still both sucked, but nowhere close to how sucky last night's was. |

Wishlist: In the future if a judge writes a song that tanks, that judge should be killed instantly by a large covey of rabid quail.

One of my biggest problems with the epically shitty AI coronation songs is that other country's Idol shows don't have such crappy ones. Even the
Canadian Idol songs are better overall, and one of them is actually a really great song. In other countries sometimes they use covers and other times they have
typical coronation songs but they're not nearly as shitty.
The AI ones are overly and disgustingly cliche and lame. They need to tone down the rainbows and hurricanes and over coming mountains bullshit and try to make the songs at the very least sound like a real song. The ones that have a romance aspect to them as well as doubling as this being an EPIC MOMENT are still cheesy but way better because at least they have the foundation of a real song and aren't just a piece of shit. Examples of slightly cheesy but not so retarded like "Inside Your Heaven," "Do I Make You Proud?" "This Is My Now" and omg "No Boundaries" the worst offender EVER coronation songs: |

That song was so catered for Danny that he probably already knew the song and was singing along from the audience.

Boris Titulaer <3 He needs to come to America ASAP.
Kara's song was one of the worst songs I ever heard. Hurricanes? In a song? WTF? |

Kara might as well have made the boys sing "My pink pussy lips"... wouldn't have been NEARLY as gay as the shit song she wrote.

Katy Perry doesn't like the song?
I retract my previous hate for "No Boundaries" then. |

They all sucked except for "I Believe". Maybe that's cuz Tamyra wrote it. At least that song had a bit more meaning to it and wasn't about
wishing in a dream, inside paula's vagina...err heaven, catching a rainbow beyond the stars, overcoming a hurricane, and waiting a lifetime for a moment
like this in this now!

Geez, Kradam - I feel sorry for whoever has to sing this piece of tripe. Maybe 2nd is better.
