Beware, ye. American Idol spoilers are below. Tonight (April 30), the top five contestants (Caleb Johnson, Jena Irene, Alex Preston, Sam Woolf and Jessica Meuse) will be performing songs chosen by the Idol viewers, and now the song list has appeared online.
Popular Idol Twitter account @IDOL_Insider tweeted the 12-song fan-picked setlist, which the show's official account promptly retweeted. Much like season 13's contestants themselves, the song choices for the top 5 tonight are a mixed bag, with everything in the mix from Aerosmith to Christina Perri to The Neighborhood.
Check out the full song list for tonight's top 5 on American Idol below:
"Sweater Weather," The Neighborhood
"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," Aerosmith
"Best Day Of My Life," American Authors
"Human," Christina Perri
"Sing," Ed Sheeran
"My Body," Young the Giant
"Beast of Burden," The Rolling Stones
"Say Something," A Great Big World
"Valerie," Amy Winehouse
"How To Save A Life," The Fray
"Summertime Sadness," Lana Del Rey
"Still Of The Night," Whitesnake
It's easy to imagine how some of these pairings will play out. Each contestant will sing two songs a piece, with there presumably being an additional collaboration between two groups of singers.
Can you imagine anyone beside Caleb Johnson taking on Whitesnake? And the pairing of Jessica Meuse and Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" is seemingly a longtime coming. Alex Preston and Ed Sheeran are more or less the same type of performer from the get-go, so he's the obvious choice to tackle "Sing." Jena Irene has the pure power of Amy Winehouse (and a similar black hairdo) to do a solid enough "Valerie" and Sam Woolf and The Fray are a combination that, once again, feels inevitable.
So, though the songs don't seem like they'll be much of a reach for the final five, it also seems like tonight's show could finally have one of those coveted big moments, especially with a ballad like "Don't Want To Miss A Thing" in the mix.
So, with just five contestants left, who do you think should win American Idol? Vote in the Music Times poll below!
