"Can they sing their own songs?"
Posted by geekboy on 03-23-06 at 10:00 AM
Are there any rules that a contestant cannot sing a song they wrote themselves?

I am thinking that this week could be a showcase for Taylor. I have a CD he released last year....so the songs on it would qualify as 'Songs Of The 21st Century'. I'd love to see him do a couple of the songs off that CD.

Is this permitted?

I'm not sure, but I thought Bo sang a song of his own last year.

There is a week (don`t know when) that they can pick their own song

I don't recall any contestant over the past 4 years singing their own composition in the final competition part of the show. They ahve in the auditions, but not in the 'top 12' portion. I know Bo didn't.

I would think they can do their own song, but there is a list of allowed songs that they can choose from which is not likely to have their own songs on it.

Picking their own song would be a mistake except for somebody like Chris.

Or Taylor.

I don't know if it would be allowed, but I think it would be cool. Why not? If it's great then they can take all the glory, and if it stinks, there is nobody to blame but themselves.
Could be risky, but if someone is talented enough to write their own song, they should let them perform it.
Geek, I'm not a huge Taylor fan and I didn't know he had a CD. How is it, and what style of music?

its actually quite good. Its a bluesy/folky style like he does best. There are a couple of really great songs on it. I've been thinking of streaming it off my server, but i'm not sure what the legal implications are.

You know that would be so cool, if they have their own stuff. Nashville Star I think requires it, not 100% sure but I know they allow it. Would just show how much more they had to offer.
