Will U2 perform 'Spider-Man' songs on American Idol finale?

The NY Post reports that Bono and The Edge are in talks to perform songs from "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" on the American Idol finale. They are also negotiating to have the cast join them.

Unless Bono has miraculously added some new songs to the Broadway show, this might not be a good idea, since the songs suck on that show (I have read - I have not seen it). I have seen some promo performances on TV, and from what I've heard, the music does suck.

I think Idol would be better off if U2 performed their hits on the show, instead of 'Spider-Man'.

Rickey's Rumor Meter: Probably not happening.

From NY Post:

Bono is in talks with "American Idol" chiefs for him and The Edge to perform on the grand finale -- and they've asked to play their songs from "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," Page Six has learned exclusively. Sources said Bono is also negotiating for the "Spider-Man" stars to join them onstage at the "Idol" finale next week. An insider said, "They are talking to Fox about how it would work. Ideally, Bono and The Edge would perform and be joined onstage by the 'Spider-Man' cast. If everyone agrees, with millions watching, it could be great for the production."
