Tonight the last 9 American Idol contestants standing are to choose songs from the Lennon-McCartney songbook and present their interpretations. With such variety there just has to be something for everybody within that songbook.
I thought it'd be fun to consider the contestants' Sun signs and pick a Lennon/McCartney title to match. These are highly unlikely to be the contestants' actual choices, I hasten to add. There are no remaining contestants with Sun in Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio or Aquarius by the way.
Aries: Lee DeWyse and Aaron Kelly ~ Helter Skelter (Aries always in a rush)...and Why Don't We do It In the Road? (Aries always impulsive!)
Taurus: Tim Urban ~ Norwegian Wood (Taurus>Earth sign>wood)
Gemini: Michael Lynche: ~ Paperback Writer (Easy!)
Leo: Crystal Bowersox: ~ Her Majesty (Leo = Royal) but it's very short, so... Good Day Sunshine (Leo ruled by the Sun.)
Libra: Andrew Garcia ~ Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (Balance- see?)
Sagittarius: Katie Stevens ~ Ticket to Ride (Sagittarius loves travel!)
Capricorn: Casey James ~ Long & Winding Road (Capricorn's an Earth sign>road = earthy.) But really, I just want to hear him sing it!
Pisces: Siobhan Magnus ~ Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (A bit trippy, as is Pisces).

What were their actual song choices T and were they appropriate in anyway to their sign?
ReplyDeleteRossa ~~~ Let's see if I can remember!
ReplyDeleteThe two Aries Suns - Aaron and Lee:
Aaron - Long and Winding Road
Lee - Hey Jude
Taurus - Tim: All My loving
Gemini- Mike: Elenor Rigby
Leo - Crystal: Come Together
Libra - Andrew: Can't Buy Me Love
Sagittarius - Katie: Let It Be
Capricorn - Casey: Jealous Guy
Pisces - Siobhan: Across the Universe
LOL! Well the two signs ruled by Venus both chose songs about LOVE.
The Satittarius Sun chose a rather philosophical sounding song.
The Pisces Sun chose a very nice mystical-sounding song.
That's the best I can do. ;-)
We enjoyed the show - nobody gave a really bad performance, and it was so good to see these young artists obviously enjoying singing these songs, from a different generation. Good stuff doesn't date!
