American Idol 2012 Top 3 Song Spoilers

American Idol Season 11 Top 3 Performance night is getting near and many wonder what the Top 3 (Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet and Phillip Phillips) will be singing for May 16 performance show. We got here the complete list of songs that will be included in the song list of American Idol Top 3.

American Idol 2012 Top 3 -  Phillip, Jessica and Joshua will perform 3 songs each on May 16

The American Idol 2012 Top 3 will be singing 3 songs - their own choice, the judges' choice and Jimmy Iovine's choice.

According to American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe, there will be an interesting line up for the Top 3 performance night. He teased with some interesting song choices for the Top 3. Nigel dropped 3 songs that will be sung by any of Jessica, Joshua or Phillip. 

The three songs were Imagine, Beggin' and I'll Be There.

If we are to match the songs with the Idol Top 3, here is what we believe each will be singing:

Joshua Ledet - Beggin'

Jessica Sanchez - I'll Be There

Phillip Phillips - Imagine

That is what we predict based on the characteristic of the song which might fit the singers but it will be really difficult to predict who will be singing what song. Personally, I would love to hear Jessica sing Beggin'  for a change.  Phillip can also do his thing with the song but we think this will be given to Joshua.

Imagine  might be a no-brainer for Joshua so we thought he will be singing something else. However, we can also assume that these 3 songs were only for one idol hopeful or at least 2 of those. Maybe, Beggin' and I'll Be There will be both for Joshua Ledet and Imagine will be for Phillip Phillips. It could also do the same for Jessica Sanchez.

At any rate, these are just 3 songs out of the possible 9 (see list below) songs that we will all be hearing come Top 3 performance night, May 16.

Here is the complete list of songs for the Top 3 performance night:

• “Imagine” – John Lennon
• “My All” – Mariah Carey
• “No More Drama” – Mary J. Blige
• “We’ve Got Tonight” – Bob Seger
• “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” – Aerosmith
• “Beggin’” – Madcon
• “I’ll Be There” – Jackson 5
• “Disease” – Matchbox 20
• “I’d Rather Go Blind” – Etta James

What do you think? Which one your idols will sing?

Skylar has been on top of the Entertainment Weekly's Idol rankings for 2 consecutive weeks now and also other websites' bet to win the whole thing. Her elimination tonight might be reflective of being the less popular idol hopeful even though she gave powerful performances the last few weeks.
