At this point, I usually posts the them for next week. But we already know that the Final 3 will sing 3 songs - unlike Season 8 and 9. One will be
Jimmy Iovine's song choice, one will be
Judge's pick and the other one will be
Personal choice. So yes, we got that one covered.
Now, the Top 3 visited their respective hometowns today and guess what we have now - Judges' Song Choice!!
- Scotty McCreery - She Believes In Me by Kenny Rogers
- Lauren Alaina - I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack
- Haley Reinhart - You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette
Wow. Not bad picks for all three contestants. Sure, both Lauren and Scotty's song choices are a bit safe, but I actually think that it'll work for them. I mean, Lauren can do wonders with that song although I was hoping for a song to push her out of her comfort zone. Plus, it should've been given to Scotty instead to either relive or redeem the “Nuts of Wonder” moment. Haha.
Scotty's, on the other hand, is somewhat easy and predictable, but it has several sustained notes on the chorus, which I think isn't Scotty's forte. I know. I know. Sustained notes? How challenging! Haha. But at least he's being "challenged". Whatever.
As for Haley, I'm pleasantly surprised with the pick. I was expecting for
Friday or
The Alphabet Song. Haha. But seriously, I think this is a nice contrast to the somewhat
boring safe song choices of the other two. It has attitude, drama and feeling built-in. Besides, we already know she's great at sliding or yodeling notes like the catchy "you-you-you oughta know". Haha. Yes, I'm a happy camper here.
Can't. Wait.
