Aw, rats -- just when the competition was finally gettin' going on American Idol, President Obama's gotta go ahead and mess up the show's schedule. Booo, hissss! Well, we won't be live-blogging tonight, but I thought I'd leave you with me and Hunter's list of ...
Songs That Should Be Retired from 'Idol's' Songbook
First and foremost has got to be Heart's "Alone." No one will ever nail it like Carrie Underwood (above) did, though Allison Iraheta tried her note-for-note damnedest a few weeks ago. Anyone who tries this song only brings back memories of Carrie's performance (see: Malubay, Ramiele).
Next up is Elton's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me." It's already pretty closely tied to its original singer and George Michael, but Clay Aiken put an earnest new spin on it in his wild card performance in Season 2. Newer, lesser versions by David Archuleta last season and Jorge Nunez this year didn't come close. So let it go, Idolistas.
Aretha's "Natural Woman" will always be Kelly Clarkson's in my book. Plus, HELLO -- it's Aretha! Who, really, can do her justice as memorably? Remember Leslie Hunt's attempt in Season 6? I've proved my point.
"I Don't Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw. Bo Bice blazed his way into our hearts with his rugged and raspy take on the pop song. Michael Sarver didn't even come close -- scratch this song from the playlist! And, Idolistas, keep your hands off "Vehicle" while you're at it -- Bo knocked that one out of the park, too.
In general, all Idols are urged to steer clear of songs by Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Celine Dion. Yet do they ever? Season after season there's some loser just begging to be eliminated by singing a song by a powerhouse belter. Don't do it!

Totally agree with this list. It also made me think of Tatiana. And just when I thought I'd forgotten about her...
Didn't she sing the same Whitney song three times through different rounds?
