Default Idol: Two performances each, and the themes are....

Rumor has it that there are going to be two themes:

1) Top 40 songs from 2004

2) Lieber and Stoller songs (I had to google these guys because they predate my time but they wrote many songs everyone knows, a lot of Elvis songs).

Sounds like a wide open week for Bo, although everyone should be able to make good song choices from these themes.

Well, except for Scott who always sings slow songs and has made only 1 good song choice this entire season ("Take a look at me now").

huge night for bo/granny. i was praying that the theme would not be big band or something that he could flop with.

i plan on selling 50% of my contracts tonight or tomorrow.

no mention of guest judge? i guess they eliminated that this year.

I posted this earlier in the week, and no one responded, but does anyone know why Constantine is still at $10 to buy?

Elivs? That'd be wicked cool.

I've also heard "movie music" as a rumored theme.

The very suspect song list for top 40...from AI forums.

Vonzell: Dangerously in Love- Beyonce

Carrie: Angels - Jessica Simpson version

Anthony: The Reason - Hoobastank

Scott: Burn - Usher

Bo: Dare you to Move - Switchfoot

wsex pulled constantine and bo went up 3 points. sold 38 and he dropped a point (i had put in a sell for 50 contracts, partial filled 38).

i'm glad i got the partial fill. still leaves me with almost 200. i would sell enough to get your cost back tomorrow JHE then no-brain freeroll the rest till the very end.

I have to respectfully disagree here. The whole notion of selling to recover costs is a like not betting the river becuase the pot is already big enough.

Either Bo going to win this thing or not. If he does (and he should) selling now is like premature ejaculation. Don't sell Bo now to recover some arbitrary investment purchase when his value is soooooo much more then that.

Granny, I believe that you are scared of Carrie. Yes, she is a the only thing in the way of Bo being a lock.

of course i am. but that's not the point. my avg. share cost is outrageously low. my past years were cashes on contestants i paid mid THIRTIES for.

i am absolutely happy with taking the profit now to cover costs and go into the finale with a freeroll. it is way too expensive to hedge with carrie. OTOH, if i sell ~35 more BO, i have my investment back and a free shot at almost $15k
