'American Idol': Next week's theme is 'Songs From the Year You Were Born' Apr 1, 2009, 03:35 PM \| by Dave Karger Categories: Television In a radio interview this morning with Phoenix station KISS, American Idol judge Paula Abdul revealed that next week's performance-night theme will be Songs From the Year You Were Born. That means we'll hear songs ranging from 1980 (Danny Gokey) to 1992 (Allison Iraheta), with a whole bunch of tunes from the 1984-86 period, when six of the nine remaining finalists' parents made the biggest mistake of their lives. (If you click the above link to hear the interview, she spills the beans at the 12-minute mark.) A rep for the show says the theme will be officially announced during tonight's results show. --- Discuss. Last Edited By: about that 04/06/09 12:17 PM. Edited 1 time.

I'm not sure it would translate well to AI, but I say that about every song Adam picks, and he always manages to surprise me.

The lyrics to that song are smarmy and creepy enough, can you imagine how much slime he could add to it? "She's just sixteen years old/leave her alone, they said..."

Great, get your barf bags handy, because you know full well he's gonna do "All Out of Love" while Jafar (Babar, whatever his name is) holds up life-size photos of Sophia. Too bad Shrill Sounds wasn't born in 1992. She could have done "Baby Got Back."
