Right now there are Broadway producers rejoicing over tonight's theme Andrew Lloyd Webber on Fox's
American Idol at 8p. Since Frenchie Davis stepped on to the RENT stage, Broadway has become home to several American Idol contestants like Fantasia, Clay Aiken, Diana DeGarmo and Constantine Maroulis to name a few. But never in the show's 7 year history has American Idol catered to show tunes. Well that all changes tonight when Andrew Lloyd Webber mentors the remaining 6! Why do I have the feeling we are going to get a lot of Cats and The Phantom of the Opera and not enough Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Evita???
David Cook would do well with something from Phantom because it is so dark. Syeshia will probably do Memories because she always chooses songs bigger than her. Jason Castro will probably do something from Jesus Christ Superstar because it is him. Carly and Brooke should do something for Joseph or Evita, but they will with either do songs from Cats or Phantom. And finally David Archuleta has to do something from Phantom because that is his calling…Michael Crawford 2!
Hopefully tonight will not disappoint because I am actually looking forward to it!
