For tomorrow's show, the Top 4 of American Idol 7 will be picking their choices from among this list of 500 songs that supposedly shaped Rock and Roll as we know it.

This is a very long and varied list. Surely a song can fit each Idol perfectly should he be familiar with it. A lot of the songs have already been done before. Which songs do you think will each contestant sing?

I suspect David Archuleta will stay in his comfort zone, tackling the likes of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "In the Still of the Night". Or maybe cheesier songs like "Your Song" or "Just The Way You Are". Karaoke fare...

I'm hoping Jason Castro will sing "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and something by Jimmy Cliff.

Syesha should do songs by Ray Charles and Sam Cooke (and not Aretha Franklin anymore). Or maybe the Etta James song.

I know its a long shot, but I would like to see David Cook perform the lone Duran Duran song on the list "Hungry Like a Wolf." But I'm sure he would rip perfectly through songs like "Jeremy" or "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

This would be interesting to watch tomorrow and see how your predictions shape up.. But I agree about Archuleta.. I still think David Cook should win, though..

Yeah I remembered you in this post when David mentioned that his song was from Duran Duran...
