The contestants have 122 songs to pick from for next week's R&B/Soul theme. You can check out the full list at iTunes, but here are a few of my suggestions for the Idols in the hopes that we don't have to endure another week of suckville song choices and performances.

Didi Benami - Didi is hard to pick for this week. Can she take on one of the two middle-of-the-road Mariah Carey songs cleared? Maybe Monica? I guess if she's staying to play, I'd push her towards Rihanna's "Umbrella" - she might be able to have some fun with that.

The disaster better known as American Idol Season 9 soldiers on. After a theme change from "Teen Idol" to "Billboard No. 1s" the contestants hit the stage this week with a bag full of steaming stinkers. Does no one provide any direction whatsoever to the contestants when they are handed a broad category like this? And can anybody tell me how this differs from what the contestants tackled during the semi-finals? Anyway, here's how it all went down:

Could a Rolling Stones-themed Idol night be as huge as when the Beatles catalog was finally made available to the contestants? Answer: No. Not even close.

But I'm sure for many of the contestants it was a tall hurdle to jump to get one step closer to the Top 10 and a place in the summer tour.

So how did they do? Let's take a look:
