Oh My-Lanta! Top 7 Theme . . . One Sweet Error in Judgement

So . . . er . . . um, so, like yeah, the Top 7 will have Ms. Mariah Carey as their mentor. That, by itself, should not cause a great deal of alarm. As long as the Top 7 stay 15 feet back, and address her heiness as Ms. Carey, they should be fine. However, what in blue blazes is the idol machine thinking by making this week's theme . . . THE FRACKIN SONGBOOK OF MARIAH FREAKIN CAREY . . . have they lost their rule book? . . . did they stare into Syesha's eyes and become entranced by her baby cry impression? Um, I do believe the judges ALWAYS tell folks not to sing the Big 3 - Celine, Whitney, and Mariah - what will our idols sing? The only two I can think of that will get through this week unscathed are the Davids. I'm sure Rocker David can remix one of Mariah's sugar pop songs into an emo death march . . .And, we all know that these types of songs were made for our little David . . . "Anytime You Need a Friend", "Hero", or "One Sweet Day". Who else can handle these songs . . . maybe Carly, but she gets so stressed when she sings. UGH! These concentrated themes are not fair. They are too limited! Its so much better when they do a broader theme so that everyone gets a fair shake . . . UGH! I fear for The Comeback Kid, but, I think this theme which is so, supposedly made for Syesha, could be the death of her. Don't y'all just know she is going to sing Vision of Love. Tragic.
