U2 Idol?
While killing some time last night, I was looking at some comments about the “American Idol” results on EW.com and came across this one:
Before I go, I like to say I would absolutely love a U2 Week !!!
I know Bono made a brief appearance on “American Idol” last year for the charity episode, but a whole show using (and possibly abusing) U2’s music? I’m not sure if I could take that.
I don’t know how likely that scenario would be, but if the contestants were able to choose from the U2 songbook, what tunes would you want to hear? Or what songs would you hope and pray they leave alone? If Kristy Lee Cook turned “In a Little While” into a country hoe-down, I might just cry. And not in a good way.

No. Please don’t. Murder someone else’s music. Like — Oasis!

No, please no!
I was amazed at some of the contestants’ lack of Beatles knowledge.
One girl picked a song because she liked the name, she had never heard the song before. The only thing worse than not being familiar with the Beatles’ work is admitting it in public. And that one guy did a 1:40 “Day in the Life”, ha! I’m still disturbed from watching it (blame the wife).
Please don’t let them do this to U2, FTLOG
