Andrew Lloyd Webber Week - Song Suggestions
It's never too early for Andrew Lloyd Webber week song speculation. We've been waiting for this day for weeks and now it's just in the horizon. Is this it? Can Carly Smithson finally get the praise she deserves from Simon Cowell? Can David Archuleta pull off a #1 mega-hit? Will David Cook crush everyone in his path? Can Jason Castro pull out another surprise? Will Syesha Mercado ever get any fans? (Unlikely) And the best question of all: When will the Brooke White TOTAL MELTDOWN happen???
My suggestions:
Carly Smithson
