titanic_leo_kateNext Idol theme revealed by TEN will be a “Movie / Theatre” theme show.

To air on October 18th, TEN says “If you can’t imagine Titanic without Celine, Wayne’s World without Queen, and Chicago without all that jazz, then tonight’s show is for you!”

This week is P!nk night while Big Band, with guest Harry Connick Jr., follows on October 11th.

Despite it having Theatre in the mix, it’s hard to think a Rodgers & Hammerstein tune might make it into the show. What about Les Miserables, Phantom or Cats?

And guest judges? Susan Boyle with ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ perhaps?

Didn’t think so.

  1. It is excruciating enough watching the singers “sing” the songs (and I use the word ‘sing’ loosely), but the judges are even worse. Boring, no personality and inconsistent, I can’t even watch it anymore, and neither do my teenagers.

  2. Maybe Tim Campbell could be a judge. He has done quite a bit of theatre and his Sunday night Idol twitters are far more entertaining than the show itself.

  3. @David:

    Also they’ve rejected many singers in the auditions because they chose songs from musicals. Last year one girl sang Seasons of Love pitch perfect but got rejected because it was a broadway song. Dicko said something like “broadway isn’t pop so you can’t get in because you’ll get stuck in broadway mode”… Idiot.
