American Idol Songwriter Contest ~ Vote

It's that time of year again...time to sort through the pile of drivel (aka the 20 "best" songs) and vote for the most tolerable (aka the song your next American Idol will be saddled with, like it or not).

All of the songs sound like they were either written for Archie, He-Cook or She-Cook, with the exception of "Believe" which is R&B and doesn't work for any of them.

I recommend that you listen to the clips over at Rickey's blog before heading to vote because it's easier to sort through them that way. Voting ends April 23rd.

Since I'm rooting for David Cook FTW, my choices are as follows:

1) "You BelieveD in Me" (Not to be confused with "You Believe in Me") - The songwriter himself hit up the Word Nerds for votes because he knows its a good fit for our boy.

2) "Overcome"

3) "The Time of My Life"

4) "Align"

My pick for the WORST song is:

"Dream Big" - Not only does it have the worst title ever, but it's written for a female and we all know that ain't gunna happen.

What do you think of these songs? Any better than last year's choices?
