I think Kris,Matt,Danny,Adam and Alison shouldnt worry.I feel like Lil rounds,Scott and Anoop should all be worried.

***BLONDIE*** · 04-07-2009, 10:57 AM

Wow, I do not like either of the EW choices for Adam.

I hope he does Edge Of Seventeen, or Tainted Love.

**silver screens** · 04-07-2009, 11:53 AM

^Amen!

So excited about tonight

*crossing fingers from Adam, Kris & Allison*

**YoursToHold** · 04-07-2009, 11:58 AM

I could totally see Tainted Love..

*Stacy* · 04-07-2009, 12:35 PM

Ohh I thought Only the Lonely would be a great choice for Adam.

**chasing starlight** · 04-07-2009, 01:50 PM

So excited for tonight! Songs From the Year you Were Born is always my favorite theme.

**NikNak** · 04-07-2009, 02:08 PM

Ooo!

Can't wait.

Got enough room on the DVR this week so I'm all set.

*Stacy* · 04-07-2009, 02:10 PM

Mine too and it doesn't help it's practically 80s night.

**chasing starlight** · 04-07-2009, 02:16 PM

Except for Allison, though early 90's songs aren't that much different to 80's songs in my opinion.

I hope Kris, Danny, Adam do well!
