American Idol Top 10 and on Song Picks

Here I have my song picks for each theme, starting with the Top 10. If a contestant picks the song I picked for them, I promise to vote for them 17 times. Why 17? If you knew me you wouldn't have to ask. Anything BOLDED is an addition, mentioning if an idol covered the song.

Top 10: Songs of Billy Joel

Jessica - Just the Way You Are
Erika - Piano Man Covered instead by Colton
Colton - We Didn't Start the Fire
Skylar - You May Be Right (Sort of a country twang to it)
Phillip - Only the Good Die Young Covered instead by DeAndre
Elise - Don't Ask Me Why
Heejun - My Life COVERED AND *VOTED 17 TIMES FOR*
Joshua - It's Still Rock and Roll to Me (No idea actually for Josh)
DeAndre - Tell Her About It
Hollie - Uptown Girl

Top 9: Songs of their Idols
For this week, some of the Idols' idols have been revealed, so I have to guess at some and match the others. Bolded artists are ones that have been confirmed to have one of their songs covered. A question mark means I am not too sure that the Idol picked that artist to cover. Also, I changed some song choices, but if any of the contestants pick any of the songs I picked for them I will vote for them 17 times.

Skylar Laine (Miranda Lambert) - Over You (Previous pick: The House that Built Me)
Colton Dixon (Daughtry) - September (Previous pick: No Surprise)
Heejun Han (Lifehouse?) - You and Me (Previous pick: Hanging by a Moment)
Jessica Sanchez (Mariah Carey?) - Hero (Previously assigned to Elise Testone)
Hollie Cavanagh (Led Zeppelin?) - Stairway to Heaven (Previously assigned to Joshua Ledet)
Phillip Phillips (Dave Matthews) - You and Me (Would be cool to have two songs of the same name the same week--could happen seeing as the two guys to do that are best friends)
Joshua Ledet (Beyonce?) - Survivor
Elise Testone (Sheryl Crow) - The First Cut is the Deepest
DeAndre (Smokey Robinson) - Ooh Baby Baby

Top 8: Songs of the 80's
Wow, that was disastrous. I wasn't even close, except for Skylar. Oh well. There is an entire decade for this week's theme, but I'll vote for a contestant if they either sing a song by the same artist or sing a song I really really like.

Hollie - Call me by Blondie (Perfect for her voice!)
Colton - Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield (But don't make it sound like the Glee version)
Skylar - 9 to 5 by either Dolly Parton or Sheena Easton (Different songs, both could suit her... ok maybe not the Sheena Easton one. I just really want someone on AI to sing that.)
DeAndre - Open Arms by Journey (Or anything by Foreigner... but Open Arms would be great for him)
Joshua - Eye of the Tiger by Survivor (Not the best song choice but he's hard to pick songs for)
Phillip - Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PHILLIP! This song is right down your alley)
Elise - Jump by Van Halen (She's found a niche with the rock songs so she should stick to it)
Jessica - Alone by Heart (I really couldn't think of anything else, but I know she'd kill this song)
