Ready for Elton John Week?

So after I had picked out all these great 80s songs to suggest to the contestants, “Idol” changed its mind and made it Elton John Week this week. I presume it has something to do with Elton John’s schedule, but I have no idea.

I’m not going to attempt to suggest songs this week other than to suggest they try some different songs. I would love to hear “I Don’t Wanna Go On With You Like That” and “Healing Hands.” But you know we’ll hear “Your Song,” and “Tiny Dancer.”

And I bet Naima, Thia and Pia wrestled over “Circle of Life.” I’ll be back tonight to take you through the action…
