Next week’s theme for American Idol Season 9 is songs from the movies with Jamie Foxx as mentor.  Instead of allowing the contestants to sing some of the more current soundtracks, we have more ballads and a crappy list from the 80’s.  Even Purple Rain would have been better than this shit.  None of the rock songs from ‘The Twilight’ films is included which isn’t very surprising but come on, anything would have been better than these 34.  What about songs from “Crazy Heart”?  Casey would have done Jeff Bridges proud.
