Most Common Reasons Given by "American Idol" Contestants for Choosing the Songs They Sing

Very special to me

Reminds me of my 33-year-old mother

We don't have the rights for the song I really wanted to sing.

They told me I had to

Felt like slowing it down a little

Was playing the night I slapped my common law wife, previously unheard of until revealed yesterday on The Smoking Gun

It was written by Neil Diamond and he's sitting right there so I felt I ought to.

Not too many words to remember

Has a good audience sing-along chorus so I don't have to do all the damn work

About following your dream, which I believe in.
