Next week on “American Idol” the music of Neil Diamond will be featured, and Neil Diamond will be the mentor and coach of the remaining five contestants.
I looked at the official Neil Diamond website and found a page with all the Neil Diamong Songs listed, along with the lyrics to each one.
So here are MY choices of which songs each contestant should sing:
David Cook - Cherry, Cherry
David Archuletta - I’m a Believer or Play Me
Ayesha Marcada - Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show
Jason Castro - Thank the Lord for the Nighttime
Brooke White - You Don’t Bring Me Flowers or Play Me
So what do you think? I think I picked some great songs for the contestants. I took into consideration their voices and the type of song that they do best with. For Jason, I wanted to give him something a little upbeat and edgy because he keeps doing B-O-R-I-N-G songs. It’ll be fun to wait till next week and see which songs they choose
Click on the Neil Diamond Songslink, and let me know which songs you’d give each contestant.

I’m not a big Neil Diamond person, although i should be because I was named for the song Sweet Caroline. So i think that Cook or Archuleta should sing that.

I think they are doing two songs each. But if only one song each, here are my picks:
David A: Heartlight (a “puppies & kittens” version)
David Cook: Sweet Caroline (as yet another billy idol type remake of a Neil Diamond song)
Jason: Soolaimon (baked version - duh)
Syesha: brother love’s traveling Salvation show (a Syesha Broadway Version after all the accolades last week)
Brooke: You don’t bring me flowers (will sing both the Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand parts, thereby attempting a duet for one)
