As American Idol begins to wind down, I thought it would be fun to take a little breather from book promotion to think about favorite songs. What’s so much fun about Idol is that we, the American public, love to be opinionated about each contestant’s songs and song choices. We think, “Ooohh…she shouldn’t have chosen that song,” or “That song didn’t get to me at all.”
So, this week, I’m going to post some of Steph’s Scribe’s Top 10 Song Lists. I’m going to categorize the songs, and list my top favorites. And, I’ll include Reader’s Favorites toward the end of the week. That means, if you want to jump in on the action and get one of your songs in the mix, you must participate by commenting. Most likely, the reasons we all choose songs are because they are sentimental of course. We like songs because they remind us of a time and place or a person—or all three.
That said, here are the first two of my Top Ten Lists.
