PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Under copyright law there is a "fair use" doctrine that permits the use of a small excerpt of something without needing to pay royalties.
It's certainly possible to believe that the use of one line of a published song is a fair use, as long as there is no additional use.
And on a point above, AI signs individual licensing deals with the publishers, because they'd never be able to afford the show otherwise. That's one of the main reasons for the "theme weeks", and also one of the main reasons that you'll read about an AI contestant complaining that he or she wanted to perform such-and-such song, but the show couldn't get "clearance" for him or her to perform it. "Clearance" is newspeak for "the show couldn't get the publisher to agree to a reduced public performance price, and the show wasn't willing to pay full price."
